THE FLORIDA KEYS INTERNET GUIDE


HENS AND CHICKEN is a shallow reef (5 to 25 feet) located about two miles off of Islamorada. The reef is marked by a 35 foot tower that is visible to the north as you leave either the Snake Creek or Whale Harbor channel. The reef is a fun shallow dive and perfect for snorklers. Although cold water temperatures killed some of the star coral in 1970, the reef is still a favorite residence for tropical fish. Hens and Chickens is also a popular hangout for barracuda. The reef is equipped with mooring buoys.
