Ellbow Reef

A second day of diving, this time with Silent World Dive Center, the first one off the Overseas Highway when traveling south as you enter Key Largo – much more convenient for me located in Florida City/Homestead. Smaller boat, which makes it choppier in the surf, but small group too (Retired couple, two guys on a dive trip for the weekend from South Carolina, and myself with the guide).

Still nice gorgonia gardens, a small wreck and busy reef with grunts, but not many special things. Check it out yourself:
