W 080° 12.425’ Key Largo Fl. Turtle Reef, also know as Turtle Rocks, is on the very northern edge of the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary. Most reef species are represented here, including Eagle Rays, plenty of Nurse Sharks, and an occasional moray.This site is relatively shallow, with its visibility usually good as its location protects it from the strong currents lying beyond. It is located off-shore from the Ocean Reef area of Key Largo. It is a 25 ft. dive to the sand, with the tops of the reef resting in 10 fsw. There are four mooring buoys marking the length of the reef. This is a wonderful spot to visit as it gets few divers due to it’s northern location. Lots of rocky caves and archways. GPS Location:
