About this dive site
Fort Jefferson keys with clear Gulf Stream reef days.
Seventy miles west of Key West, Dry Tortugas National Park combines historic Fort Jefferson with coral heads and turtle grass. Day boats and liveaboards dive Loggerhead and nearby reefs when Gulf weather allows.
Most trips target April - November, but wind, swell and current still decide the day's site. Calendar peak is April - November, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Dry Tortugas day to day, not just the map pin.
