Not really any good shore dives in Keys. Bridges have to be caught at slack water high tide, or just about 1 hour before the tide stops its flood and begins to ebb. Deeper channels (the deepest is under the Bahia Honda bridge, that's why its the only one of the Flagler's old bridges built with a superstructure to hold it together - depth of the water made it necessary) are often used by bulls to get in and out of the bay. Boat traffic is more of a concern. Lot's of boats, lots of rental boats with tourist operators who haven't a clue what a dive flag is - hey honey, let's speed over there, they might be a catchin' somethin', with that flag in the water and all." Rent a boat or go out on a boat, or boat bum at the ramps, offering to chip in on gas for a ride,or do Ft. Lauderdale or Blue Heron Bridge up on Singer Island. Good luck. Stay safe. Have fun.
