Diving and Snorkeling

Calm winds and smooth summer seas make the spring season an ideal time to dive at the San Pedro. The crystal clear blue water around this sunken shipwreck provides excellent visibility even in eighteen feet of water. March has also been an unmistakingly hot month, which is helping to rapidly warm the water temperatures even for pampered Floridians.

The San Pedro is designated as an Underwater Archaeological Preserve, set aside by the State of Florida for its protection and for public enjoyment. The site has been enhanced with seven replica cannons, an anchor and an information plaque. The site is located in 18 feet of water, approximately 1.25 nautical miles south from Indian Key at LORAN coordinates 24 degrees 51.802'N 80 degrees 40.795'W.

Watchable wildlife:
Fish, turtles, alligators, and wading birds can be seen from the Shark Valley tower in and around the borrow ponds. Look for red-shouldered hawks, snail kites, northern harriers, and occasional rare short-tailed hawks over the marsh. White-tailed deer are often seen lingering near the edges of hammocks or bounding through belly-deep water in the marsh. In the Ten Thousand Islands, expect to see many shorebirds, white ibis, roseate spoonbills, black skimmers (winter and spring), bald eagles (winter and spring), ospreys, magnificent frigatebirds (summer), nesting wading birds and brown pelicans, bottle-nosed dolphins, manatees, as well as sharks, rays, and other large fish.
