Offering a variety of diverse ecosystems it is no wonder diving around Islamorada, is rated as amongst the best, with good reason. Abundant marine life, calm and warm water, visibility is generally great (35ft -55ft) and astounding marine life. On an average day of diving or snorkeling from our boat one would expect to see hundreds of colorful/tropical fish. Just to mention a few: Redband, Blue and Stoplight Parrotfish – Gray, French and Queen Angelfish – Great Barracuda – Green Moray – Spotted Eagle Rays - Queen Triggerfish – Nurse Sharks - Yellowtail Damselfish – Scrawled Filefish – Blue Tang.

This past week Mother Nature has been showing off her calm side. The wind has been variable, calm waters and visibility about 40ft. Too good to be true. If not at work, everyone has been playing in or on the water.
