We loved the Vandenberg, but dang, I haven’t fed the fish more in any past dive than I did the ride out there…
It was pretty rough! I tried sitting at the front of the boat for some sun and I got SOAKED! Grateful seasickness did not plague me that day…
Alex!! This looks like so much fun!! I haven’t been to Florida in ages, but now I want to go back!!
It’s just a destination I can’t seem to get enough of. Have a couple return plans on my mental backburner!
I can’t get over that the dives in the Key West aren’t guided unless you specifically hire one, particularly since it houses the second largest artificial reef. The coral restoration dive is fascinating and an incredibly cool dive to get to be a part of. Also, if I had any sort of true SUP ability, I’d be booking it for Aquaholics Adventures – that sounds amazing.
Believe me, you don’t need any — there were plenty of beginners in our group, which amazed me considering alcohol was involved, HA! And yeah, I also find the guiding thing interesting — it was true at the freshwater caverns and sites I visited last year, too!
So many beautiful diving spots! The Florida Keys looks great!
I can’t believe it took me so long to get there. I know it won’t be my last trip, though!
This is amazing. Absolutely love reading your diving experiences 🙂 And the sea turtles are just beautiful 🙂
Thank you Ines! Aren’t they?! I just couldn’t get over how cute the babies were!
Wow! What an amazing guide. It’s so comprehensive. I grew up in Orlando, heading to the Keys every Spring Break, and this brought back so many wonderful memories.
Thank you so much Riley! That means a lot from an almost local 😉
Wow..I simply loved reading this guide and pictures looks equally fun as well!!
Thanks Rachel! Lots more coverage to come from this trip, so stay tuned!
Nice post. This was really helpful, thanks!
I’m so glad to hear that! Are you planning a trip to the Keys?
I’m from Miami so I visit the Keys often! Reading this article makes me want to visit again asap. The underwater lodge is so cool!!!
What an amazing place to live — and what a great place to be able to travel often!
Moving to Miami this fall to start grad school and this guide makes me super excited to explore the Keys!
Ah, Miami is one of those cities I’ve always dreamed of living! Please let me know how you like it!
Great write-up. Really enjoyed reading it. It also gave me direction on how to plan my next trip out there. Thanks a bunch!
That’s awesome and exactly what I was aiming for 🙂 So, thank you!
