About Marker 32 Reef
Marker 32 Reef is a shallow Key West reef dive built around spur-and-groove coral, sandy lanes, and coral fingers rising from the bottom. It is a straightforward boat dive with mooring buoys, which makes it a comfortable pick for snorkelers, newer divers, and easy reef days. The site is best when current stays light and the water stays clear, because the appeal is slow reef cruising and wildlife spotting rather than depth. Expect a classic Florida Keys reef profile with plenty of life and little technical fuss.
