Why are Key Largo dive charters so popular for scuba diving?
Key Largo is The Ultimate Diving Capital
Key Largo, often dubbed the “Diving Capital of the World,” is a dream destination for divers everywhere. Situated just about 60 miles south of Miami, it’s an accessible tropical haven that beckons both seasoned divers and beginners alike with many Key Largo dive charters to choose from.

This vibrant underwater ecosystem offers a breathtaking array of marine life, making every dive an extraordinary experience filled with color and motion.
Discover Incredible Wreck Sites
Beyond the reefs, Key Largo offers intriguing wreck sites -the Spiegel Grove Duane, Bibb, Eagle, and Benwood- that attract explorers from around the globe. These sites not only tell stories of maritime history but also provide unique underwater landscapes for divers to investigate.
