Dive-site story
Located at Key Largo Dry Rocks within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, the site centers on a bronze statue with arms raised toward the surface. The figure rests in a natural sand channel flanked by spur-and-groove coral formations. Brain corals, sea fans, and gorgonians colonize the ridges, catering to both divers and snorkelers.
