DIVING AND SNORKELING

As seen from the air, Marathon and the Middle Keys appear as emerald
isles set amid a sea of turquoise. Marathon's reefs offer great
variety in coral formations and fish life. The crystalline waters of
the Atlantic Ocean reveal a marine wilderness comprised of an
extensive spur-and-groove coral complex and numerous well-developed
patch reefs. Each reef is populated by a vast array of Caribbean
tropical fish and invertebrates, with the fascinating addition of both
modern and historical shipwrecks to complete the tremendous sport dive
appeal of the region. 

WRECKS AND REEFS.............

* Adelaide Baker - This historic shipwreck features a pair of huge
stacks in only 25 feet of water, a vivid reminder of the days when
steamships plied the Florida Keys.

* Sombrero Reef - This traditional favorite of the Marathon dive

portfolio is marked by a 140-foot lighted tower. Coral canyons and
archways provide refuge for schools of grunt and snapper while
solitary barracuda appear to stand sentinel.

* Coffin's Patch - This is not a single reef but a conglomerate of six
distinct patch reefs, each with a unique identity defined by a
predominant coral species. For example, at Pillar Coral Patch dozens
of intact pillar coral heads thrust their fuzzy polyps to snare
passing nutrients. Snorkelers will especially appreciate the shallow
elkhorn forests found throughout Coffin's Patch in less than 20 feet
of water.

* Delta Shoals - Here a vast network of coral canyons fan seaward from
a sandy shoal, offering wonderful opportunities for both diving and
snorkeling amid elkhorn, brain, and star coral heads.

* The Thunderbolt - This 188-foot ship is the queen of the Marathon
wreck fleet. Sunk intentionally as a dive attraction on March 3, 1986,
she now sits perfectly upright in 115 feet of water. Her
superstructure is coated with colorful sponge, coral, and hydroid,
providing refuge and sustenance to large angelfish, jacks, and a
variety of deep-water pelagic creatures.
