Stargazer Reef
Stargazer Reef is the most unusual Key West dive spot. As much a work of art as it is anything else, this artificial reef sits in about 25 feet of water. Consisting of a series of metal tubes welded into sawhorse-like structures and entirely silhouetted against white sand, Stargazer Reef is not exactly a fish haven but it is interesting to see. There is a huge jewfish (Goliath Grouper) that hangs out underneath. and some Angel fish and Mangrove Snappers hang around, too. But as you can see from the pictures, there just isn’t much surface area on Stargazer for coral to take a hold of.
Stargazer Reef is a nice stopoff spot on the way in from any number of Key West dive spots, and it has a convenient mooring bouey.
