Book a Boat Rental Marathon Florida and Scuba Dive The Keys

East Washerwoman Shoal

When you have booked a boat rental, Marathon, Florida, you will want to go scuba diving or snorkeling in the Florida Keys and one of the areas you may want to visit is East Washerwomans Shoal.

Located six miles southwest of Key Colony Beach, the reef and dive site is easily identified by a 36ft tower.

Scuba divers who have booked a boat rental, Marathon, Florida, travel to East Washerwomans Reef because this reef and many of the others in the area are shallow dives and ideal for novice divers and snorkeling.

The area is covered with gorgeous star, brain and rose coral with staghorn coral pointing up majestically to the snorkelers above.

The shallow clear waters also present an ideal opportunity to get those underwater cameras out and take some photos of the beautiful coral formations.

Terence’s Log

It’s easy to book a boat rental, Marathon, Florida and choose your own dive site tour.

We travelled to a couple of reefs in the area and because they were easy relaxed dives, it gave us plenty of time and opportunity to get close up to some really fabulous coral growths.
