Marquesas keys - This is an island atoll approximately 25 miles West of Key West. South on the reef line is good diving by Cosgrove Shoal Light. Many dive sites closer to Key West offer the same or similar features of the Marquesas.
The reef is in good condition and good spearfishing will be found here. The islands are shallow and not accessible by boat. Getting inside the atoll is difficult.
