Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Hydro Atlantic offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Hydro Atlantic is a wreck dive, an old tugboat sitting upright in about 30 meters of water. There’s a good chance of seeing nurse sharks tucked into the holds and plenty of schooling fish swirling around the structure. We’d suggest this site for intermediate divers comfortable with wreck penetration, though swimming the perimeter is also rewarding. Current can pick up, so keep an eye on conditions.
