Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Marker 32 Reef offers some of Florida Keys's richest reef diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Marker 32 Reef is a shallow, relaxed dive, ideal for newer divers or those looking for an easy second tank. It’s a patch reef with plenty of juvenile fish darting amongst the coral heads. We often spot parrotfish munching away and sometimes a nurse shark resting under a ledge. With a maximum depth of 9m, it’s a good spot for extended bottom times and getting comfortable in the water.
