Looe Key Reef Resort LLC

Originally established as The Breezeswept Hotel and Restaurant in 1959, and later renamed Looe Key Reef Resort in the late 1980’s, we’ve been a landmark on Ramrod Key, sharing Florida Keys waters and Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary longer than anyone! We’ve grown a lot since those early days, with the diner transforming into our dive shop and the addition of the Tiki Bar. But, we’ve never lost that classic Keys feel, passion for the ocean, and the joy of sharing it with our visitors. As an all-in-one Dive Resort, the dive shop, boats, classroom, pool, hotel, and restaurant are only steps away from each room. It’s all about the water in the Keys and we’re all about sharing that with our visiting divers and snorkelers. Become a certified diver or just enjoy a day snorkeling with us followed by live music and delicious food in the Tiki Bar, or take the short drive to Key West. We invite you to enjoy the “lower, slower Keys“ with us.

As a Diamond Instructor Training Center, we offer a full range of diving programs from Open Water Diver to Open Water Instructor, including most specialty courses (sorry, our ice only goes in the drinks, so no ice diving available). We believe in making divers, not just teaching you to dive. If you’re interested in seeing what scuba diving is all about, you can try our one day Try Scuba Program, frequently referred to as a “Resort Course“. Or, if it’s been a while since you were diving, join us for a Scuba Skills Update, and refresh all those basic skills. Have kids under the age of 10? Start them in our Scuba Rangers program. They learn almost everything an adult diver does, including specialty dives, but just in the pool. It’s a great way to introduce them to what Mom and Dad are doing.

We’re the only dive center in the Keys with everything under the same roof - full service dive shop with sales, rentals, and repairs, classroom, pool, boats, hotel, and restaurant - all on site. We don’t claim to be fancy, but if you want to spend your time on or in the water, we’ve got you covered. Not to mention Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary - a Special Preservation Area inside the Sanctuary. The reef is a spur and groove formation and part of the meso-American reef, the third longest barrier reef in the world. You’ll see great coral and lots of tropical fish.

We’ve been doing it longer, and more professionally, than anyone in the area. You’ll get more time in the water and won’t get nickled-and-dimed. So, if you’re ready to learn to dive, or just spend some great time on the water, let us show you the sights!
