Key Largo, located at the northern end of the Florida Keys, is a world-class destination for underwater adventurers seeking some of the clearest tropical waters in the continental United States. This gateway to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary hosts a vibrant coral reef system alive with colorful fish, lobsters, and intricate coral formations. Sundiver Snorkel Tours offers a uniquely personalized dive into this marine paradise with small-group snorkel excursions that emphasize safety, fun, and up-close encounters with the reef’s diverse ecosystem.
Operating several daily departures, including the standout seasonal 5:30pm Sunset Snorkel Tour, Sundiver gives visitors the chance to see how the reef transforms in the golden light of dusk. For those wanting a daytime experience, the 12pm Shallow Reef and 9am Christ of the Abyss Snorkel Tours provide ample time to swim alongside tropical fish amid vividly clear water. The latter tour includes a visit to the famous underwater statue—the Christ of the Abyss—which draws both snorkelers and divers to its haunting, serene presence.
