Legendary Diving in Key West.
Key West has its own spur-and-groove reefs with
abundant coral and plentiful marine life at sites like Nine-Foot Stake, Lost
Reef, Western Dry Rocks and the Sambos (Eastern, Western and Middle).
There are two prime shipwrecks in Key West: the Cayman Salvage Master, a
187-foot Coast Guard buoy tender sunk in April of 1985; and the 75-foot vessel
dubbed Joe's Tug. Coming soon will be the Vandenberg, a 520-foot behemoth of a
ship that will make a stunning artificial reef, eclipsing even Key Largo's
massive Spiegel Grove by 10 feet.
Water Conditions: Diving is year-round. The best conditions are from May to
September, with relatively calm seas and good vis—except during tropical storms
and hurricanes.
Visibility: On clear days, visibility soars to 120 feet, but averages are closer
to 60 to 80 feet. Winter storms can stir up chop, and along the shallow reefs
visibility can drop to 30 feet or less, but when the storms pass, visibility can
improve with just a couple of tidal shifts.
Water Temperatures: Range from the 70Fs in mid-winter to 80Fs in summer.
Marine Life: There are more than 600 varieties of fish in Keys waters. Many of
the reefs are literally crawling with spiny lobster and crabs, and it's not
uncommon for divers to encounter stingrays, nurse sharks and spotted and green
moray eels.
