We dove Looe Key with Florida Keys Reef Divers. The dive is shallow spur and groove formations with a maximum depth of twenty five feet. The abundance and diversity of the marine life was fantastic...the best I've seen in the Caribbean. We saw several nurse sharks, moray eels, very large tarpon, and large groupers, parrotfish, and the usual tropicals. It seemed apparent to us that the preserve is accomplishing its purpose in restoring fish life to the area. Jim Wyatt runs a quality, service oriented operation, and we would recommend him without hesitation. |
