Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - Site D Coral Reef offers some of Florida Keys's richest reef diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Site D Coral Reef offers a straightforward dive among the typical patch reef structures found in the Florida Keys. You'll find a decent scattering of hard corals and sponges here, attracting the usual reef fish: parrotfish, grunts, and snapper often cruise through. It's a relaxed spot, good for a second dive or for those looking for an easy, shallow exploration. We'd suggest it for newer divers or anyone wanting a low-key afternoon.
