Florida Keys Scuba Diving Sites with Holiday Isle

 

Davis Ledge (25')
My personal favorite. This website isn't big enough to tell you why I love this reef. You'll just have to come and see it for yourself. Easy to navigate, tons of fish, and the Buddha Belly to rub for luck. As we know, divers need lots of luck.

The Fish Bowl
and The Aquarium
(25-30')

Double patch reefs with fish
and more fish! We sure hope you like swimming around with a thousand fish eyes critiquing your diving skills. (Click Photos to Enlarge)

Pleasure Reef (25')
The name says it all. So I will say no more.

Secret Garden (25')
It's our secret. No, not really! But not everyone knows where it is. It's like swimming through a beautiful flower garden.

Hamasaurus (25-35')
We didn't name this one, we just dive it. It's a nurse shark and moray eel traffic jam.

Arno's Pillar Patch (27')
Named for its stand of pillar coral. If you've never seen it you will think it looks like velvet. Picture a cypress knee with fur and you have pillar coral...not many non-Floridians will know what a cypress knee is.

Victory Reef (40-90')
Named so because of the large "V" shaped reef formation. A great place for the behinner OR the seasoned diver with it's nice range of depths.

Crocker Reef (35-60')
A spur and groove formation with mounding coral heads on top. These formations often have turtles hiding among them, plus a variety of other sea life. Another great dive for the novice or experienced diver.

The Wreck of "The Eagle" (75-110')
This 287 foot freighter was sunk as an artificial reef in 1985. She is lying on her starboard side with her port rails lying at 75 feet and her propellers and rudder lying in 110 feet on the sandy bottom. She's a great wreck dive!! In 1998, The Eagle was broken in two by Hurricane Georges. With twenty years of growth she is unrivaled in her collection of marine life including a family of jewfish (aka. Goliath Grouper) which have taken up residency in a tear in the wreck created by Georges. You'll love the way we set up lines for descent and safety stops making for a great wreck diving experience.


Hen & Chickens (10-20')
No, there are no hens or chickens here!! What you really see is a beautiful patch reef in shallow water. Great for diving and snorkeling. With Brain and Star Coral mounds and Sea Fans so abundant it's like a forest of purple trees. A family dive or snorkeling site.

Cheeca Rocks (6-20')
Shallow coral gardens. Abundant coral mounds covered in sea whips and fans with tons or fish life. Great snorkeling site. If you have a family with you, this is the one not to miss!
