Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - RJ s Ledge offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
RJ's Ledge offers a straightforward dive, typically in the 20-30 meter range. It's a good spot for finding nurse sharks tucked under ledges and some larger groupers. Currents can pick up here, making it better suited for divers comfortable with drift. We find it's a solid choice for a second dive of the day when you want something relaxed but still interesting.
