Florida is a vacation destination visited by millions of tourists every year, one of the preferred tourist sites being Miami. It attracts travelers with awesome beaches, genuine culture, exciting nightlife, and fabulous shopping, all making it a perfect vacation spot. There is also a side of Miami loved by water sports enthusiasts, namely scuba diving - an activity that has been developed seriously in the last few years in the whole region. Two of the main factors that contributed to this are the year-round warm weather and excellent diving sites. There is a plethora of choices! Beginners have the opportunity to get certified, embark on their first dive with "The Dive and Surf Center" and sail to Key Largo where they enjoy fantastic diving in "John Pennekamp Marine Sanctuary". Visitors can take the adventure of a lifetime with "Ocean Safari Dive Adventures" departing daily at Miami Beach Marina and see spectacular tropical fish and other treasures hidden in the ocean. "Divers Den Miami", offers guests the chance to participate in a "Megalodon" shark dive and recover two-million-year-old teeth that belonged to these huge creatures. "Tarpoon Lagoon Dive Center", "Squalo Divers", "Underwater Unlimited" "The Scuba Shop", and "Kanaloa Divers" are other scuba diving providers in Miami, all having dive trips to the best-rated dive locations in the area.
Along with organized scuba diving trips, divers can explore the reefs and caverns off Miami on customized tours and there are many diving sites worth to be visited. "Emerald Reef" is a beautiful reef in shallow waters right off the coastline. "Antenna Reef" is made from old sections of radio towers, now hosting coral formations and various aquatic species. An area filled with shallow reefs can be explored around "Fowley Lighthouse" - there are plenty of lobsters, yellowtail, and other marine life. "Bache Shoal "is very popular with beginner divers, but is also a very good location for snorkeling. Those looking for shipwrecks are advised to visit diving sites such as the "Belzona Barge Shipwreck", the "Andro Shipwreck", and an F-4 airplane wreck.
The world of coral reefs and shipwrecks is awesome, but while scuba diving vacations in Miami, divers have the opportunity to see also rich marine plant life like phytoplankton, underwater mangroves, and varying species of seaweed and sea grass. Tropical fish are common sights in Miami waters, but there can be spotted also sea turtles, dolphins, sharks and even whales. The entire region has a particular beauty, so even the boat rides or walks to dive destinations are wonderful experiences offering spectacular sceneries and views with quaint marina lining the coast.
