It's a shame most of the reefs in Florida are dead...

You could, but you'll only see sand and sea grass. You need a boat to get to any coral reef in the keys. There are many tours that take you there for around $35.

Are there any beaches that you an snorkel off of in islamorada

Scott Shannahan - 10 years ago

This is why I'm taking my gear!!! The underwater world is amazing,ya just gotta;put on your stuff and check it out. Heck, I spend more money at the damn Iowa State Fair than I do in the Keys and this is why I go. Awesome

What camera are you using? Great video!

Logan Mitchell - 11 years ago

How deep are you?

sergiollag1 - 11 years ago

Yes u need a boat. its like 1.5 to 2 miles from land. here r the coordinates 24°56′07″N 080°32′55″W. Its called Hens & Chicken and there is a light house and lots of buoys to attached the boat. there are no reefs just offshore in the keys. This is one of the closest to land and the closest is Cheeca Rocks.

Beautiful video of this reef. Is this reef just offshore or do you need a boat to access this reef? Islamoradora is very close to Marathon. Could this be Sombrero Reef which is off Sombrero Lighthouse?

the place is very real florida keys theres more than that one

I don't hear anything wrong with the audio - it sounds pretty much like what I hear whenever I'm snorkeling. I'm just glad that you didn't bury it with loud, obnoxious music. Part of the joy of snorkeling and diving is the relative silence which makes the visuals that much more stunning.

Islamorada is in the Upper Keys, or roughly 20 miles southwest of Key Largo.

FlyMeAirplane - 12 years ago

It"s real. I was there last month. Wish I saw the eagle ray tho!

sergiollag1 - 12 years ago

enter this (24°56′07″N 080°32′55″W) on google maps and it will take u to the exact location. there is a small light house and it is delimited by 4 big yellow buoys.

don't worry, i didnt get upset or anything at all. i just wanted to make clear that this place does exist in the wild.

sergiollag1 - 12 years ago

do you really think this place is man made? has anyone here been in this reef and confirm that it is real? the reef is called "hens & chicken". if the audio is loud, its maybe because when i edited the video, the audio got enhanced. you should come to the florida keys and see for yourself

sergiollag1 - 13 years ago

@rhibear1 Sony HDR SR11 with Ikelite housing 6038.94. I think both are discontinued though.

catfishbear - 13 years ago

What kind of camera was used here please? I'm trying to decide on one for myself.

sergiollag1 - 13 years ago

it ranges from 6' to 20' and I was snorkeling.

thecarlover09 - 13 years ago

im going scuba diving there next week (:

triton115 - 13 years ago
