Great display

If you are interested in scuba diving history this is the place for you. Many different displays showing progression of the sport, so many you can easily spend a few hours reading all the information. Definitely a good stop

Full history of diving

We drove up from Key West and were not disappointed. The Museum takes you on a journey through the history of diving from the first recorded dive to the present day equipment. You will find it interesting even if you are not a diver.

Thank LonM638

Thank you for the kind review! We are always glad to have folks visiting us from the Lower Keys.
