Diver’s Paradise, Diver's Paradise Miami | Scuba Diving & Snorkeling
Key Biscayne just off of Miami
This was my first time diving this area. Diver’s Paradise (DP) is conveniently located at the Crandon Marina which is on the right shortly after driving onto Key Biscayne. The shop is right at the marina with two boats right across the street. The sites, both shallow, were a very short 20-25 min boat ride from the marina.
DP ran a safe, enjoyable trip. We were on Sea Señora with Capt Eric and crew Riley & Mike. Seas were 1-2’ (mostly 1’ and less), zero current, 40-50’ viz and 81-82 F temps.
Neptune Memorial Reef
Neptune Memorial Reef - Cremation Scattering Services Miami, Fl
43’ max depth, 35’ avg
60 min dive
Emerald Reef
27’ max depth, 22’ avg
46 min dive
I’ll post a few photos below.
The only negatives for me were:
(1) Having to drive through the heart of Miami going to/from Key Biscayne the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend. The strong afternoon storms coming home didn't help the traffic situation! Took me an hour longer driving back to SWFL due to storms and holiday traffic leaving SEFL and heading west.
(2) Our second dive was limited by time due to a 2 pm trip departure and the need to get back.
Neither were a huge deal and I will dive this area again with DP. I’d like to hit some of the wrecks in this area. There are many!
