Florida Keys Scuba Diving the Ultimate Dive Experience

North, North Dry Rocks

If you go to Florida Keys scuba diving then you will find this dive site located 5 miles south east of Key Largo. North North Dry Docks is a small shallow sheltered reef which is rarely visited compared to other dive sites.

This is a pity because the site is a mass of color. With outcrops of coral creating passageways for the fish the site is full of the most colorful fish and corals.

With huge Star Corals and Elephant Ear sponges the marine life is abundant with yellowtails, angelfish, groupers, gobies etc.

There is plenty of opportunity to take photographs with shallow waters and colorful marine life including a variety of crustaceans. This is Florida Keys scuba diving paradise.

The sheltered shallow reef makes this an ideal place to snorkel.

Terence's Log

I could not believe how colorful the fish appeared to be on this dive. I think it was the shallow waters gave plenty of light and everything was in glorious color!

This was the best dive site I had been to in Key Largo for watching the smaller marine life and lobsters close up, fascinating!

One of the attractions of Florida Key scuba diving is that you will be able to take underwater photographs or underwater videos such as the one below. With excellent light and clear waters you will be able to get some excellent shots.

This short video was taken at North North Dry Rocks and shows you the rich growths covering this area and gives you an idea of what to expect diving off the Florida coast (Press the button second right on the bottom of the video player to see it in full screen)...
