| Dive Description | |
| Little Conch Reef is a large patch reef, spreading for about 3/4 mile across a white sand bed. It is known for its tube sponges and sea fans, however it is most noted for the numbers of spiny lobster collected here during season. As the reef is outside the Key Largo Marine Sanctuary, up to 6 lobster per person can be taken. Note that collection of any kind of coral or conch anywhere in Florida is strictly forbidden by state law. The Little Conch Ledges are located about 100 yards west of Little Conch Reef. |
