THE FLORIDA KEYS INTERNET GUIDE


YELLOW ROCKS is a system of older coral formations is about 4 ½ miles south of Key Colony Beach in about 25 feet of water. Over ½ mile in length, it is one of the largest reef systems in the area. Consequently it is another favorite of the local dive operators. Because it is an older formation, the reef is not prolific with live corals. It is a very popular dive location because of the maze of cracks, undercuts and ledges that are home to thousands of small fish and invertebrates. It also supports a substantial population of resident barracuda and nurse sharks.
