| Apparently, the Navy-Air Development Corp. did significant testing in this area, leading to many interesting finds by divers. | |
| Dive Description | |
| Large round smooth brain corals highlight this interesting, albeit shallow dive. Its proximity to Key West makes this a popular site for night dives. The nocturnal animals, like hermit crabs, nudibranches, anemones, and brittle stars highlight the trip. Several coral mounds rising over 12 feet from the seabed provide protected areas for reef fish like blue tangs, Spanish hogfish, and yellow goatfish. |
