The Ragged Edge is not your typical Keys resort, all fancy and expensive, but it is a resort—the type where you can unwind and relax without the frills, noise, and distractions that blemish an otherwise peaceful vacation. The rooms serve their purpose and are clean and air-conditioned. All but one have a full kitchen. The view of the Atlantic side water is wonderful. There is a fresh water pool, and docks to moor your boat if you are there for fishing. We've gone to the Keys for diving for the past 2 years, and stayed at the Ragged Edge both times. Next year, we will do the same. www.ragged-edge.com

Whether you dive the Bibb, Duane, Eagle, Grove, or other wrecks within a 45 minute ride, every dive will be different. We can't wait to get back to Islamorda and dive with Tavernier Dive Cen...Read More
