The Site

Located just 90 minutes from the store, Key Largo enjoys the distinction of being the first thing you come to when driving through the Keys. Besides diving, Key Largo offers a wide variety of shops, dining and entertainment.

The Diving

Built in 1910, the Benwood plied her trade for the next three decades until a collision sent her to the bottom in 1942. To avoid her becoming a hazard to navigation, the Coast Guard blew her open, making it easy to see what’s on the inside. This is a great first wreck dive for new divers.

In addition to the Benwood, we will also dive famous French Reef.
