Ball and Chain
★★★★☆
(38)
Ball and Chain is one of Key West’s most historic outer reef sites. Made famous by old home made moorings called Bubba Buoys were used to moor ships off Key West for quarantine.
There is an Easter egg if you can find it the reef name gives you a good clue! Sharks, turtles, spotted eagle rays, and dolphins can be seen here.
