Diving for Treasure in the Florida Keys

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by admin on 16-08-2011

Imagine slowly falling through the clear waters of the Florida Keys. Diving down, you feel the oppression and isolation of entering a world alien to us landlubber humans. Slowly, out of the darkness, a huge shape starts to become clear on the ocean bottom. It’s a ship, one of the countless poor vessels who met her end in the tropical waters off of America’s east coast. How old is she? Where did she come from? How did she succumb to the ocean? More importantly – what was she carrying?

If you enjoy treasure diving, then there is no better place in the world than the Florida Keys to plan your next adventure. Thousands of shipwrecks dot the ocean landscape. Many have already been discovered and picked through, but there are still a ton of ships unaccounted for who met their watery end in these pristine waters. From trade galleons loaded with precious cargo bound for the American colonies to warships steeped in historic mystery, the variety of wreaks provide endless dive opportunities. It doesn’t matter if you are a novice just getting into the sport of SCUBA or an experienced diver on a quest to discover the unknown. A trip to the Florida Keys is well worth the effort. What will your adventure be?
