Best Spot for Snorkeling in Key Largo Florida | Molasses Reef
This video covers my favorite reef to freedive and snorkel at in Key Largo, Florida. It's located near John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.
Exploring the amazing coral reefs in Key Largo is one of the best things to do when visiting the Florida Keys!
Below is the link to the Rainbow Reef Dive Center. They were the dive company we used for this trip. Unfortunately all of Key Largos reefs are far from shore so they require a dive boat to explore.
Please comment below if you have other reefs in Key Largo you enjoy! I would love to hear about them.

Scuba Diving in Key Largo, Florida: Molasses Reef, French Reef, Benwood & Spiegle Grove dive sites
The most frequently visited dive site in the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, and likely the world, is known as Molasses Reef. During World War II, near midnight on April 9th, 1942, the Norwegian merchant freighter Benwood was on a routine path from Florida to Virginia, transporting a load of phosphate rock. It was running with no lights to avoid being spotted by German U-boats, which was common for ships throughout the war. The Spiegle Grove ship is enormous and much larger than any natural reef structure in the Keys. In fact, at the time of its sinking, the Spiegel Grove was the largest ship ever intentionally sunk to create a new reef for divers, and it remains one of the largest ships ever scuttled for that purpose.

Molasses Reef in Key Largo - 1 of 3
First time diving. Wore the GoPro aimed a little high, so much of the interesting footage is at the bottom of the screen and sometimes cut off. I would not wear the GoPro on my head again. Very choppy, frustrating footage.
Dive Instructor: Rick Murphy of Key Largo Dive Center (great guy and place - highly recommend).

Key Largo Diving: Molasses Reef dive 2019
Diving in Key Largo’s Molasses reef is always a pleasure. This dive took place in January 4th 2019. The seas had been a bit rough for a few days, but calmed down for our afternoon trip. That left very few boats going out to the reef. On our second dive we got the chance to drift with the current down the entire reef which was very unique. Even though the water was a bit milky at times, it was a great trip!

We went out with Rainbow Reef Dive charters this March, and had two amazing dives. The reef was very colorful and well developed. The fish seemed very friendly overall, and we were also lucky enough to see some of the big stuff.
