Giving Back: Coral Reef Restoration

Key Dives donates 2% of all dive revenue to I.CARE, helping to rebuild and maintain the fragile coral reefs of the Florida Keys. Through this partnership, divers are directly contributing to the health of one of the world’s most biodiverse marine ecosystems.

Additionally, Ocean Pointe Suites, a nearby oceanfront property with condo-style accommodations and a private beach, donates 10% of every stay when Key Dives or I.CARE is mentioned upon booking. Guests who choose to dive and stay help amplify the impact of conservation efforts.

Dive With Purpose

At Key Dives, every diver — from beginners to seasoned enthusiasts — has the opportunity to participate in coral planting programs. This hands-on experience allows visitors to leave a lasting mark on the reefs while enjoying the vibrant marine life of the Florida Keys.

“It’s not just about diving,” says Mike Goldberg, founder of Key Dives. “It’s about giving back to the ocean and making sure our reefs thrive for future generations.”
