There are over 50 locations to choose from in this barrier reef of Marathon. They include large quantities and varieties of marine life and living coral reef.
Colorful, shallow reefs are abundant and include Yellow Rocks, Sombrero Reef, or Delta Shoals, favorites with divers and fish! Mid to deep reef sites like The Gap, Sombrero Ledge or
the Shrimp Boat Reef are rich with sea life and corals in depths ranging from 50 to 80 feet. For experienced divers there is the world class shipwreck THUNDERBOLT, a World War II cable layer and research vessel. She lies upright in 120 feet of water and hosts a teeming community of sea life. Shallow wrecks like The Barge and The Adelaide Baker provide interesting coral growths and a bit of history to boot!
The charm of the islands of Marathon and a world of underwater adventure make the heart of the Florida Keys a true wonder to be seen and an experience you'll never forget. |

The Florida Keys are home to the only living barrier coral reef in North America and Marathon is a scuba diver's or snorkeler’ s paradise! Located right in the middle of the Florida Keys, Marathon is known as "the heart of the Florida Keys".
From the 7 mile Bridge to Crane Point Hammock, from Dolphin Research Center to Historic Pigeon Key, Marathon is filled with diversity! Henry Flagler's "marathon" effort to build his railroad gave the island its name. It's where friendly people will make you feel welcome and say "We're glad you're here!" |
