Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - South Doubles offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
South Doubles in the Florida Keys offers a relaxed dive, typically shallow enough for longer bottom times. We usually find schools of grunt and snapper hanging out near the sandy patches, and often spot a curious loggerhead turtle cruising by. It’s a solid pick for a second dive of the day or for those looking for an easy, pleasant reef exploration.
