Comments In our continuing saga down the Keys, we dove one morning with Lost Reef. The dive sites were interesting, and our experience uneventful. Both dives were in very shallow water, I don’t think any of us went below 25 feet. We all dove with skins only in the warm water. We followed the DM instructions as to where to head and were warned from going too far out from the boat. No DM in water.

We aren’t interested in wrecks but did not expect to be in water that would have been as easy to snorkel in.

After the first dive we joked that the entire dive was a safety stop. No stop required. However the terrain was enjoyable and appeared to be healthy. Nothing remarkable to note.

Our lodging was a historic B&B near the top of Duval. Lovely spot we look forward to returning to. Highly recommended. Get a king room, the standard queen was the size of a matchbox.
