There is no general "marine park entry fee" for casual diving in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, but there are rules and zone-specific restrictions you must follow. Separate fees can apply for special add-ons like Dry Tortugas National Park (entrance and camping). Always confirm what is included in your tour ticket and what is collected on arrival.
