    Recovery Room in the Florida Keys offers a relaxed dive, perfect for knocking off some rust or taking newer divers out. It’s a shallow spot, topping out around 14 meters, so you get plenty of bottom time to explore. We’ve often found schools of grunts and snapper hanging out around the small ledges and coral heads, sometimes a sleepy nurse shark tucked away. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s a consistently pleasant dive if you're after something easy and reliably calm.
