French Reef
★★★★☆
(3,057)
French Reef is a Sanctuary Protected Area located about seven miles southeast of Key Largo. It ranges in depth from about fifteen feet to forty feet. It’s known for having winding channels and a plethora of fun swim throughs.
The dive guides like to say, “If you haven’t been lost on French, you haven’t dove French.“ While it’s challenging to navigate, it offers a large variety of wildlife and coral.
