The Florida Keys coral reef is the largest living coral reef in North America
and the third largest in the world. Due to the climate, Florida Keys diving is
available year round. Florida Keys scuba diving and Florida Keys snorkeling
offer some of the best views of under water wildlife and plants for everyone
from beginners to experts. The depth ranges from 5 to 200 feet with 50-100+ foot
visibility. The reef is home to over 600 species of fish and 40 types of coral.
The shallow reefs along the Florida Keys, such as Coffins Patch and Sombrero
Reef, make for great Marathon snorkeling and Marathon diving but they have also
created a lot of shipwrecks in the past. Besides exploring historic shipwrecks
along Delta Shoals and other locations, Marathon scuba diving also offers
advanced divers a chance to explore one of many wrecks, The Thunderbolt, an 188
foot long vessel previously owned by Florida Power and Light which was sunk in
1986.
Private island scuba diving can be as simple as walking into the water off of
our private island. Private island diving and private island snorkeling allows
you to easily explore the underwater world without a boat and see butterfly
fish, angel fish, conch, lobster, and other underwater plants, coral, and
wildlife.
Your scuba diving vacation package includes a modern waterfront vacation home,
both a 2 person kayak and a 1 person kayak, a 16' Carolina Skiff motorboat, and
of course your own private tropical island just a quick 5 minute boat ride off
of Marathon.
