Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, seahorses and sea turtles - United Caribbean offers some of Florida Keys's richest diving. Water ranges 19-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The United Caribbean is a cargo ship wreck, sitting upright in around 25 meters of water. There’s usually a decent current here, so it’s best for divers comfortable with drift diving. We’ve seen goliath groupers tucked into the holds, and barracudas often hang out in the superstructure. It’s a solid wreck dive for those looking for something a bit less crowded than the more famous Keys sites.
