Things to do in Key Largo
Sometimes we have bad weather and it's not a good day to dive. When that happens, we always get asked what else you can do to stay entertained and still have a great day. Of course, none of them are as good as diving, but we have to admit, they are still a lot of fun, and in some cases, not to be missed even if the weather is great!

Jule's Undersea Lodge
Key Largo Undersea Park
www.jul.comWhen guests visit Jules' Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida, they discover that the name is no marketing gimmick. Just to enter the Lodge, one must actually scuba dive 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea. Jules' really is underwater. Diving through the tropical mangrove habitat of the Emerald Lagoon and approaching the world's only underwater hotel is quite an experience. Even from the outside, Jules' big 42 inch round windows cast a warm invitation to come in and stay a while, relax and get to know the underwater world that so few of us have even visited.
