The coral is definitely stressed as it is in most places unfortunatelyI did Key largo / Tavernier trips in ‘20 and ‘21 for first times and found it not that expensive and for me the diving was good.
But everything is relative and personal preference...
Just got back from Caribbean trip (report pending) that was much more expensive and diving for me not as good.
If fish/marine life quantity and variety are important key largo is good
If sponges coral and fans are... maybe not...
Funny you say that,I was diving the North wall at about 115 feet and we saw an Eagle Ray/ The boat was estatic.I haven’t been disappointed by the coral/sponges in key largo because there’s so much marine life to observe.
On the flip side I’m not too impressed by walls with no fish life after the first few times. The awe of staring into the abyss wore off and there being no marine life to speak of makes me less than impressed.
Just depends on preference; I really enjoy the abundant marine life in key largo!
We were there in August (Key Largo) and the diving was really good, low-key and fun! I have to add that we did a dive on French Reef and it looked pretty beat up. We were told they are planning to remove one or more mooring balls on French to give a bit of a break. Not sure if that has happened or not. I'm sure it'll come back nicely if they do that. Everywhere else looked good. Lots of fish and quite a few Eagle Rays!The coral is definitely stressed as it is in most places unfortunately
That being said I have been diving here since 92 and the fish life has increased dramatically imho
The coral restoration team has been planting like crazy and their work is starting to really show
I still do miss the majestic walls of Coz/GC though
