Grecian Rocks

Key Largo is the place to dive for shallow and deep dives. Grecian Rocks off the coast of Key Largo, Florida is south of Key Largo Dry Rocks. Boat dives and snorkeling adventures can be had at Grecian Rocks due to the depth range of 0 to 35 feet. Several locations in Key Largo are known for their "rocks" that help form the reefs. At low tide the reefs tend to peak out from under the water.

With some areas less than 12 feet in depth, snorkelers can swim down to see the shrimp, lobster, and other fish that make Grecian Rocks their habitat. Spotted Eagle Rays are quite common in the 20 to 35 foot range, swimming along with jacks and other schools of fish. The coral ridges form grooves that allow divers to swim between the "rock" formations, while snorkelers swim above. The groves also provide a natural break from the seas, keeping it a fairly easy sea to swim in.

Visibility between the grooves is often 50 feet or more, as long as divers do not stir the sandy bottom. Diving here where the sun can reach the entire reef provides divers and snorkelers with amazingly brilliant colors.
