You can’t miss the diving museum – it’s the building with the enormous mural of swimming manatees on the side – and we mean that in every sense of the phrase. In other words, don’t miss this museum, a collection of diving paraphernalia from around the world. This is the sort of charmingly eccentric museum that really reflects the quirks of the Keys. The hall of diving helmets from around the world, from Denmark to Japan, is particularly impressive.
We're also wowed by the exhibitions of diving ‘suits’ and technology from the 19th century. Folks in the museum can also provide information on diving in a vintage Mark V diving suit (the ones with the bulbous onion-heads connected to surface pumps). Hosts lectures on diving entitled (of course) 'Immerse Yourself' at 7pm on the third Wednesday of every month.
