Looe Key Reef is one of the Florida Keys’ iconic reef areas, known for spur-and-groove coral formations and a long protected-area history. The HMS Looe connection adds historical depth, as the reef was named after the British frigate that grounded there in the 18th century.
What to see
Spur-and-groove reef, elkhorn and brain coral where present, sea fans, grunts, snappers, parrotfish, angelfish, turtles, rays, nurse sharks, and lobsters may be seen.
When To Go Diving
Best from May to October for warm water and generally favourable visibility. Water ranges roughly from 20–30°C, with visibility often 10–30 metres.
