This unusual Lower Keys tradition turns a coral reef into an underwater concert venue. Music and conservation messages are transmitted through submerged speakers at Looe Key Reef, allowing divers and snorkelers to hear the broadcast while exploring the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
The spectacle often includes costumed divers posing with whimsical faux musical instruments, adding visual comedy to the underwater soundtrack. The event also uses the attention to promote responsible reef behavior and marine conservation. Because the reef is offshore, visitors must arrange boat transportation or join an appropriate dive or snorkel excursion.
