Dive into fun in the sun
If you're coming to Florida to dive, chances are good you'll head to The Keys. After all, The Keys
(Key Largo to the Dry Tortugas) lays claim to the only living barrier reef ecosystem in the continental United States. Here, the reefs are typically shallow and constructed of hard elkhorn corals; boulder- size brain corals; tall, willowy sea whips and giant purple sea fans. But if you happen to visit areas of the state, you can still take to the waters. Just prepare yourself for an entirely different experience. North Florida divers boast of their sunken shipwrecks in Gulf waters. In Central and North Central Florida, divers take to freshwater springs and spring-fed rivers. And, depending on the time of year, your locale and luck, you may be able to dive with the manatees, snorkel with stingrays or swim with the dolphins.
