The dive

The Benwood went down in 1942 and now lies in pieces on the sand, covered in coral and schooling grunts. It is an easy first wreck: no overhead, a mooring line and the top of the hull at 25 feet.

The second dive is on Key Largo Dry Rocks, a shallow reef with sand channels and a lot of life for very little depth. Most divers come up with plenty of air left.
