Captain Tom'S Ledge

Captain Tom's Ledge is a shallow, sloping reef ledge offshore of Key Largo, frequented for its accessible drift with a mix of coral heads and sandy pockets. The site typically features clear Caribbean-style water, moderate currents, and visibility that commonly ranges from good to very good. Divers can expect a variety of reef-building corals, small schooling fish, and common Caribbean species such as grunts, snappers, and parrotfish. Entry is from a boat with a short surface interval, and the dive emphasizes exploration along the ledge with opportunities for macro life on the reef edges. The site suits beginner to intermediate divers, particularly on calm days, and offers a straightforward surface-to-reef experience near the Florida Keys.
