Islamorada Patch Reefs

    In the Florida Keys patch reefs offer scuba divers and snorkelers a variety of marine life to observe & photograph.   These reefs are unmarked and rarely visited which means no crowds as well as relatively untouched natural features.  The coral heads are usually smaller & low profile, and the ledges among them hide many types of tropical fish & other creatures.
