Although the waters are generally calm and shallow, it’s important to keep these boating safety tips in mind:
Always wear a personal flotation device or life jacket when piloting or riding in your rental boat.
Before departing, check the weather report and tides so you know what kind of seas to expect.
Watch out for the white and red flags that mean there’s a “diver down” in the water beneath the markers, and keep at least 100 feet away from them. The waters off Key West are full of snorkelers almost any time of year.
Be alert to the presence of other boats and personal watercraft. Like you, there may be tourists in the water who are there to have fun and may not be paying attention to what’s going on around them.
Obey all boating and water safety regulations and posted speed limits (ask your tour operator about this when you rent your boat).
Keep a cell phone or VHF marine radio with you. In case of emergency, you can simply dial 911 from your phone or hail the U.S. Coast Guard on channel 16 on your radio.

Key West is home to America’s only living coral reef — a spectacular undersea ecosystem that features several colorful varieties of living coral, hundreds of varieties of neon-hued salt water fish and sea creatures like lobster, sea turtles, and more, making it a must-see for snorkelers and divers.
If you’re looking for something a bit more challenging, you can discover why the new U.S.S. Vandenburg artificial reef is already attracting divers from all over the world. Stripped clean and sunk in 2009, the U.S.S. Vandenburg, a former troop carrier, is now an artificial reef that features several different levels of difficulty for scuba divers. Before your dive, your tour operator will assess your skill level and choose an undersea adventure that’s appropriate for your level of experience. Modern boats, up-to-date dive equipment and friendly, well-trained instructors help ensure your comfort and safety.
