Fingers Reef

This dive site, Fingers Reef, is a quintessential example of the spur and groove reef formations found throughout the Florida Keys. Divers navigate through prominent coral 'fingers' that extend seaward, separated by large sand channels. There is no specific history or story provided beyond its natural geological formation as part of the extensive Florida reef system.
The reef is particularly renowned for its pelagic visitors, with spotted eagle rays frequently sighted cruising the deeper edges of the coral fingers. Southern stingrays are commonly found resting or foraging within the sand channels. The high-profile coral fingers themselves host a diverse array of reef fish and invertebrates typical of a healthy Florida Keys ecosystem.
Fingers Reef is an excellent year-round destination, with optimal conditions often found during calmer weather periods. Its shallow nature makes it ideal for multiple dives, and it's particularly appealing for photographers interested in wide-angle shots of the reef structure and large rays. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find this site incredibly rewarding due to its vibrant marine life and accessible depths.
