Short-boat reef dive in the Upper Keys with spur-and-groove coral, easy navigation, and a calm second-dive profile.
About Recovery Room
Recovery Room is a shallow Key Largo reef reached by a short boat ride and often used as a relaxed second dive after a deeper first dive of the day. Its spur-and-groove structure, coral heads, and sandy channels make navigation easy, and the site works well for newer divers, snorkelers, and photographers who want a low-stress Upper Keys reef with steady marine life and very good visibility.
