Scuba Diving Tours

Divers from around the world visit John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park to explore the living coral reefs of the Florida Keys and experience diving amidst the area's natural wildlife habitat. Our PADI 5-Star Gold Palm facility offers two-location, two-tank dives twice daily, at 9:00am and 1:30pm.

Equipment rental is available. Contact our dive shop about reservations and special rates for groups.

All of tour boats have at least one vessel equipped to accommodate the boarding of wheelchairs for our guests with special needs.





Carysfort Reef Light is located approximately six nautical miles east of Key Largo, Florida. The lighthouse has an iron screw-pile foundation with a platform, and a skeletal, octagonal, pyramidal tower, which is painted red. The light is 100 feet (30 m) above the water. It is the oldest functioning lighthouse of its type in the United States, completed in 1852. Carysfort Reef is named for HMS Carysfort (1766), a 20-gun Royal Navy post ship that ran aground on the reef in 1770. The light is currently a xenon flashtube beacon.

We are very excited to offer a Dive Tour to the Carysfort Reef site, since only a few tour boats visit this location.
