After crossing the 18 mile stretch from Homestead, you arrive at Key Largo. The pressures of work, traffic, daily chores all seem to vanish from your existence. Instead, you feel inexplicably carefree. Alive. And much of that feeling comes from the laid-back attitude in Key Largo.
It was in the early 1500's that Spanish explorers first landed on the first of a series of islands extending south from the Florida mainland. They named it "Cayo Largo," or Long Key, because of the island's size. Through the centuries, pirates, buccaneers and smugglers roamed the island and its coastal waters leaving behind many a shipwreck and, some say, the spirit of independence that's so readily evident in today's local inhabitants.
Today, Key Largo is known as the Dive Capital of the World. And it's easy to see why. Between the magnificent natural reefs, the sunken ships, the phenomenal variety of marine life and the clarity of the waters, this is simply a paradise for divers and snorkelers of every age and experience.
In Key Largo, you'll find the famed John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, the crystal clear waters of Molasses Reef, the underwater caves of French Reef, the 327' Duane (voted Florida's best wreck dive by Scuba Times) and the statue of Christ of the Abyss, a world-famous Key Largo icon. And don't forget to arrange a dive trip to our newest attraction, the SPIEGEL GROVE, the largest ship ever intentionally sunk as an artificial reef!
