    This is a wonderful diving museum. The owners have really gone out of their way to make this the best diving museum anywhere! When I was there with my grand children, a bus full of school children came in and were astonished by what they saw. They especially loved the old time dive helmets and suits. I remember those on the old 60’s TV show Diver Dan!

History of Diving Museum

The Florida Keys History of Diving Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, displaying and interpreting artifacts, antiques, books, documents, photographs and oral history relative to the History of Diving. We tell the international story of man’s attempts to explore, understand and venture under the sea. We also celebrate the special role that South Florida and the Florida Keys played in this untold story. How old must be my children be to enjoy the Florida Keys History of Diving Museum? Fun Stops are scattered throughout the Museum for kids to engage in interactive play and to experience hands-on some of these Wonderful Diving Machines!
