Key Largo Area Spanish Wrecks

[Brian1968]

Will be in KL at the end of the month.
Interested in the idea of diving one or two of the 18th century Spanish Wrecks there.
Anyone know a good way of making this happen?
Thanks in advance.

They aren't terribly interesting to dive. Mostly all you'll see is ballast stone and a few ribs.

 

[Brian1968]

That's ok. That's what I'd expect to see. Interested in the history.

No one visits them often. I'd suggest calling or writing the shops. Most are actually snorkel depth. I've only visited then skin diving, I've always left my tank on board. You may have difficulty finding a ride and might have to resort to boat rental.

You'll want to be a bit south of Key Largo, Tavernier or Islamorada. I suggest calling Florida Keys Dive Center in Tavernier, they might be able to get you to El Infante or similar.

The HMS Looe sank sometime in the late 1700's. We can still see/locate ballast stones from her out at Looe Key.
