Plongée à Dry Tortugas — United States
The Dry Tortugas sit 70 miles west of Key West, protecting some of the healthiest coral reefs remaining in US waters. The remote location keeps diver numbers low, and the crystal waters around Fort Jefferson harbour large groupers, nurse sharks, and vibrant coral gardens. Camping on the island makes it an adventure.
