This dive site, known as Front Porch, is the house reef of Anthony’s Key Resort, offering convenient shore access to the vibrant Meso-American Barrier Reef. Divers and snorkelers can easily explore this gently sloping reef directly from the resort, making it an ideal spot for multiple entries and relaxed underwater navigation. Its proximity to the resort ensures a comfortable and accessible diving experience for all skill levels.
The reef is teeming with diverse marine life, including various species of eels, groupers, and octopuses often found among the coral formations. Schools of colorful blue tangs, parrotfish, angelfish, and damselfish populate the shallower areas, creating a dynamic display. Large sea fans sway gently, complementing the robust structures of star coral and brain coral that form the foundation of this healthy ecosystem.
This site is exceptional for year-round diving and snorkeling, offering consistent conditions for underwater exploration. Its protected nature makes it perfect for skill refreshers, night dives, and photography, especially for macro life within the coral. Both divers and freedivers will appreciate the easy access and abundant marine biodiversity.
