Cudjoe Bay, located directly off of the Atlantic Ocean is an open run out to phenomenal fishing, coral reefs and the crystal blue waters of the Gulf Stream.

Your setting is peaceful and quiet, but when you do want to join in the hustle of Key West, it is only a 20mile jaunt down the Overseas Hwy. When you decide to stay close to home, the Square Grouper, one of the Keys best restaurants, is only a mile away. Within a few miles is a great Tiki Bar, the Boondocks and they feature mini golf and great fish sandwiches.

Big Pine is a quick drive north of Cudjoe Key and is a national preserve well known for its miniature deer. Take time to explore the Florida Keys waters. Lobster hunting is a favorite local pastime, make sure you are in season! Also, the spectacular coral reefs of Looe Key are just a short boat ride away as is Bahia Honda State Park. If you need a boat to explore the surrounding waters, boat rentals are available from Tim at Cudjoe rentals 305-923-9478. Come and explore all that the Florida Keys has to offer! |

Have you ever wanted to really see the ocean and its wildlife? The only way to get an in depth look at the fish, coral and othe natural wonders is by slapping on a scuba suit and swimming with the fishes! One of nature’s most fantastic wonders is a live coral reef, and the only one in the continental United States parallels the 126-mile length of the Florida Keys.
Explore the Florida Keys Under the Sea
Scuba diving is a healthy recreational activity and even those as young as age 10 can learn and enjoy to scuba. But before you slap on a tank and head for the blue waters off the Keys you should plan to spend at minimum 5 days in an entry-level certification training course. This will prepare you for the adventures to come and can be a great way to spend a Florida Keys Vacation.
Basic certification requires both classroom work and pool training and generally runs a couple hundred dollars. You will follow that by at least one open water dive at the beautiful Florida Keys Reef. Once you are ready you will need to pass a test and a required number of dives. Congratulations, you have become a certified scuba diver. With your certification you are now eligible to rent dive gear and book dive trips most anywhere worldwide – but definitely ready to dive anywhere in the Florida Keys.
To make your next vacation your first adventure in Scuba Diving check out the Professional Diving Instruction Providers at FloridaKeys.com :
