Scuba Diving in Key Largo, Florida: Molasses Reef, French Reef, Benwood & Spiegle Grove dive sites
The most frequently visited dive site in the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, and likely the world, is known as Molasses Reef. During World War II, near midnight on April 9th, 1942, the Norwegian merchant freighter Benwood was on a routine path from Florida to Virginia, transporting a load of phosphate rock. It was running with no lights to avoid being spotted by German U-boats, which was common for ships throughout the war. The Spiegle Grove ship is enormous and much larger than any natural reef structure in the Keys. In fact, at the time of its sinking, the Spiegel Grove was the largest ship ever intentionally sunk to create a new reef for divers, and it remains one of the largest ships ever scuttled for that purpose.

Best Snorkel Trip in the Florida Keys | Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary
Snorkeling at Bahia Honda State Park at Looe Key Reef. Today we are going snorkeling out of Bahia Honda State Park to Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, Looe Key Reef, in the Florida Keys is an amazing experience. You get to see sharks and Goliath groupers nearly every time and then spotted eagle rays and all sorts of other tropical fish live there. This is the oldest protected portion of the reef system in the Florida Keys and it is booming with life!

DIVING in KEY LARGO !! LIVING OUR BEST LIFE / SHARKS !!!
This week we decided to head down to Key Largo and work our way through the Keys this year. It was amazing, the water was so clear and beautiful. It was exactly what a post card would look like. I now have a new found respect and desire to dive in open waters and will be focusing on getting my own equipment.
Captain Slate was who we dove with along with his daughter Sky. I highly recommend working with them.
Here is a little about Key Largo.
Key Largo is the first of the fabulous Florida Keys and is the self-proclaimed Dive Capital of the World. It is home to the world's largest artificial reef, the 510-foot USS Spiegel Grove, the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the African Queen. Everglades National Park is just a short trip away from Key Largo.

How to Catch Lobster in the Florida Keys While Snorkeling
If you have ever been down to the Florida Keys for the opening of lobster season, then you know how passionate people get for catching lobster.
(And for any of you northerners, these are Spiny Lobster, not the Maine or New England lobster you might be used to seeing.)
Anglers from all of over the state and beyond travel down to the warm and clear waters of the Florida Keys for lobster season because it's the best place in the southern US for catching lobster in a family environment.
The reason for this is because in the Keys, there are tons of lobster in the 3 to 10 ft depth range so anyone who can somewhat hold their breath and swim has a shot at catching them.
And the added bonus is that their tails are delicious... my personal favorite is butterflying the tails and grilling them... yum!
Although these Florida lobster frequent shallow water, they can still be tricky to catch for a novice diver, so we put this video together to show exactly how to catch lobster with a net and tickle stick.
To learn more about it and to see a list of recommended gear, click on the link below to see our full lobster catching report:
