This video will focus on Lower Keys including Big Pine Key, Ramrod Key, Big and Little Torch Key, Cudjoe Key, the Contents Keys, Snipe Key, and Summerland Key area. I recommend Florida Marine Tracks for navigating back country but if Google Earth is all you have it can help you navigate using the water color as depth indication. Remember to always keep an eye on the tide movements and just because you safely cross in the morning does not necessarily mean that can cross in the evening. The tide is known to move 2 or more feet in and out regularly in the islands.

Finding Coral
Finding Coral to dive is a fun way to look forward to your trip to the islands. You can do this in your map application on your iphone as well. The Coral will be dark circles with white sandy circles around them where the fish have eaten away the vegetation surrounding the rock. Drop a pin on the really good looking spots. The good news is you will have reception in most areas in the Florida Keys until you get about 10 miles offshore.

Mangrove Islands
The Mangrove islands in the Keys are beautiful and a crucial part of the habitat. They are a nursery for the smaller fish to thrive before they move offshore as they grow. You will still see some large fish around the mangroves though including sharks, barracuda, snook , tarpon, snapper, grouper, and redfish along with many more species. Crabs and Lobster live in the holes in the mud and in the root balls. The tidal current provides them with an abundant supply of food and the mangroves provide them with cover to rest and hide during the day.

American Shoals Lighthouse
A great place to spend the afternoon swimming and diving with the family or friends after a hot day of fishing offshore.

Looe Key
Our favorite diving spot just off the coast of Big Pine and always a hit with our guests. Grab your girls hand and take her for a swim with the local sharks and turtles and hundreds of species of creatures that call it home. Try and leave it like you found it. The reefs of the Florida Keys are a national treasure and very fragile.

Snipe Point
Snipe Point is a beach on the Gulf Side of the island chain and quite a little run (about 10 miles) if you cut through the back country. Add another 10 miles if you have to go the long way around. I high recommend Florida Marine Tracks for navigating Back Country in the Florida Keys. See link below.
