Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, seahorses, sea turtles and mantis shrimp - Fripp Island Reef offers some of Florida Springs's richest reef diving. Water ranges 16-31°C, warmest June, July, August.
Fripp Island Reef is a straightforward dive off the Florida coast, generally accessed by boat. We’ve found it’s mostly about the structure itself, providing refuge for smaller reef fish and the occasional snapper. It's a decent site for a relaxed drift, often with good visibility on calmer days. We'd suggest it for divers looking for a simple reef dive without strong currents.
