[squidster]

I am going to marathon key later this year,and i would like to know which reef dive site is the most impressive to dive on while i am there.
i have been on alot of reefs near key largo,so marathon and south will be where i am planning to dive.

I am going to marathon key

No, you aren't. There is no Marathon Key. Marathon is on Key Vaca. I like the reef at Delta Shoals.

I would recommend the west end of Looe Key Reef. It's south of Vacca Key but worth the drive IMO. As for dive sites close to Marathon, check out Coffins Patch and of course Sombrero light. You can dive the Thunderbolt (wreck dive, not reef) from Marathon as well.

I liked Sombrero.

That's not entirely correct if you're intending to pick nits....
Marathon is 10 miles long and comprised of mainly Knight's, Vaca, Fat Deer, and Grassy Keys, but also stretching onto Long Point and Crawl Keys.

I wish i had a detailed map that clearly shows the correct ID fo each Key , but i dont yet.
