Diving in Key West

I know that diving is a really big thing in the Keys, but is that true of Key West? I did find some great information about Florida Keys Diving here. It looks like a few tours start in Key West, but you have some bigger chances to dive near Big Pine Key and Key Largo.

Joe's Tug, Sand Key, and USS Wilkes-Barre are three of my favorite diving spots in the Keys! Joe's Tug is the best to dive as it's just siting upright in just 65 feet of water, but it still brings you close to Jewfish, spotted morays, barracuda, and horse eye jacks. For the USS Wilkes-Barre, you will need to be a technically qualified diver, the USS Wilkes-Barre offers an exciting adventure.
