The Atlantic slips green and glassy in the morning, the pier casting a long shadow as your instructor checks gear and the reef waits a few strokes offshore. In waist-deep shallows you rehearse breathing and buoyancy; then the ocean, patient and insistent, draws you deeper for a real one-on-one dive where a pro-grade camera records the whole thing.
Difficulty
moderate
Duration
2–3 hours
Fitness Level
Comfortable for most people who can swim and stand in waist-deep water; you should be able to follow breathing and physical instruction for short exertion.
Wildlife
History
This stretch of coastline sits on the northern limit of the Florida reef tract; decades of coastal development and reef restoration have shaped its current marine communities.
Conservation
Use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching or feeding wildlife, and support local reef restoration groups — human contact and pollution are primary stressors here.

Arrive hydrated and fed
Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your dive and hydrate; an empty stomach or dehydration increases the risk of nausea and fatigue.
Wear a snug swimsuit and quick-dry layers
A well-fitting suit reduces chafing under wetsuits or buoyancy vests and makes gearing up faster.
Communicate medical history early
Disclose heart, spinal, pregnancy or recent surgeries on intake forms — instructors need this to modify or decline participation safely.
Protect the reef and photos
Keep fins clear of the bottom, avoid touching coral, and practice neutral buoyancy to protect habitat and improve your shots.
Swimsuit
Wear under your exposure protection so you can get in the water quickly.
