Diving the Florida Keys

with Key Dives

Key Dives is at Bud N' Mary's Marina on Islamorada in the Florida Keys, a destination for divers from all around the world adjacent to the largest living reef in the United States.

 

Scuba Divers are overwhelmed by the massive volume and unparalleled variety of aquatic life resulting from the nutrient rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico meeting with the warm tropical waters of the Gulf Stream.

It's no surprise that it's been awarded the title:
America's #1 Dive Destination.

More About Key Dives

Key Dives - providing scuba diving equipment, charters, and scuba lessons on Islamorada in the Florida Keys. After years working as dive instructors in Maui and in the Caribbean on the tiny remote island of Virgin Gorda, Key Dives owners Mike and Marcia are excited to bring to the Florida Keys a level of service and spirit of adventure made famous in the Caribbean.

"If you come to the Florida Keys for great scuba diving, you'll return to Key Dives for the best service - anywhere!"

Key Dives Service

"The Treatment" - Some have called what we do "Goochi" Diving (sorry, we can't spell it correctly without paying for it!).   What is "The Treatment"?

 

bullet We carry your scuba gear to the dive boat and set it up.
bullet We carry your scuba gear to the stern so you do not have to walk with the gear on your back.
bullet During your dive, we identify any unfamiliar marine life.
bullet After the dive, we hoist your dive gear out of the water so you do not have to climb out with the gear on your back.
bullet We will break down your scuba gear and rinse and store it for the next day of diving.

 

If you hire a dive guide, all we ask of our divers is to breathe and kick!

Guided Dives At Key Dives

We actually love to dive and we absolutely despise sitting on the boat when we could be blowing bubbles underwater. So, for as little as $70 for a three 2-tank dive minimum, you can have a divemaster guide you to all the cool stuff on your dive.

Do you want to know the best part? You will not have to spend the dive watching your compass and focusing on getting back to the boat. Just leave the navigation to us and enjoy the show!

Unguided Dives - For those that prefer to do it on their own, that is fine. We offer the most competitive prices for you independent folk. Regardless, you will still receive "The Treatment."

 

We provide all our divers with fresh fruit, cookies and bottled water.

Islamorada Dive Sites

We visit more than ninety dive sites. Following is a sampling of our favorites...

 

Crater Reef

60 - 100 ft Great chance to see big fish and massive green turtles, Green morays, nurse shark and the occasional predatory shark.

 

Alligator Deep

45 - 90 ft Spur and groove section of alligator reef. Another great opportunity to see the BIG fish.

 

The Eagle

90 - 110 ft 300' cargo ship sunk in 1985. Over the last 20 years, quite impressive corals have taken hold. Broken in half during Hurricane Georges, most of the ship is now accessible and now home to a family of Goliath Groupers! A must see!

 

Crocker Reef

35 - 60 ft Spur and groove formation with mounding coral heads. Great site for spotting turtles.

 

Hammsaurus

25 - 35 ft Unlikely you will find hammerheads or dinosaurs for that matter, but you will see lots of nurse shark and eels galore!

 

 

Davis Ledge

25 ft If you love 1000s of fish staring at you, this is a site for you.

 

Alligator Reef

25 ft Offers the greatest marine diversity anywhere in the Keys. A must for fish lovers!

 

Fish Bowl

25 ft Fish, fish, and more fish. You will feel like you are in an Aquarium.

 

 

Hens & Chickens

10 - 20 ft This site offers the best corals in the area. Great for the Snorkeler and diver alike. If you see any hens or chickens, you definitely have a problem we can't solve!

 

Just to our south is a vast area of unexplored reef. Key Dives owners Mike and Marcia are very adventurous. So if you want to do some exploratory diving just let us know. You may be able to name a new site and you will definitely make our day!
