Looe Key Reef
(The location of your check out dives)

Your first open water dive will be at this beautiful reef. Depths start at about 35 ft, and drop to over 100 ft as you move offshore. Some of the bigger animals, like reef shark, jewfish, and spotted eagle rays are in the deeper water. Rarer species of sponge and coral, such as massive barrel sponges, inhabit the downward reef slope.
Looe Key has been protected as a national marine sanctuary since 1981. Since lobstering has also been prohibited, spiny lobsters are much more numerous than at other reefs in the Sanctuary.
Looe Key Reef is one of the nicest, most diverse reefs in the Keys. It should be a priority dive if you're diving the Middle Keys or Lower Keys. It is roughly 200 yards wide and 800 yards long, and is "U" shaped. It has a reputation for unpredictable visibility.
Looe Key Reef has representative members of both patch and outside reefs, which is unique. It is it's own little world; a representation of the entire Keys reef ecosystem, in one protected place. Many locals and dive personnel think Looe Key Reef is the most beautiful reef in the Middle or Lower Keys.
Barracuda and Jacks meet the diver upon plunging from the boat. Yellow-headed jawfish, parrotfish, and surgeonfish cruise over the reef, and many divers see loggerhead turtle. There is a profusion of life on this reef, with tropical fish schooling and larger fish quietly watching you as they pass.
Unfortunately it is an experience not everyone gets to enjoy, so if you are lucky enough to experience this beautiful reef, than relax, enjoy yourself, and take it all in... than tell all of your friends who took you to this beautiful National Marine Sanctuary!
