IMPORTANT NOTICE
This information is provided in the hope that it will be useful for recreational divers and
watersports enthusiasts, but

Tidal prediction is, at best, an inexact endeavor. It relies on field measurements, data
collection and calculations that can be subject to any number and manner of errors.
The predictions presented here do not incorporate the effects of tropical storms, El Niño,
seismic events, subsidence, uplift, or changes in global sea level.
The sum of all these variables can contribute to a rather large level
of predictive uncertainty.
Do not rely solely on this information if life or property are at stake.

NOAA and similar agencies in other countries can provide you with certified tide predictions if that is what you need.

This project bears a great debt to Jtides by
Paul Lutus
(also the author of Apple Writer, one of the best-selling word processing programs of all time.)
In turn, JTides credits the XTide Project
maintianed by David Flater.
Heartfelt thanks to Paul for JTides, and for the concept of 'careware', and to all of those nameless individuals who make this endeavor possible.
Key West, informally known as The Conch Republic, is an island in the Straits of Florida at the southernmost tip of the Florida Keys.
Historic home of Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams, the island was relatively isolated until 1912, when it was connected to the Florida mainland via the Overseas Railway extension of Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway (FEC).
The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 destroyed much of the railroad and killed hundreds of residents. e U.S. government then rebuilt the rail route as an automobile highway, completed in 1938, which became an extension of United States Highway 1, now called the Overseas Highway.
Key West is located at 24°33'33"N 81°47'03"W and is about 4 miles (6.4 km) long and 2 miles (3.2 km) wide.
Diving:
The coral reefs of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary are home to the world's third largest barrier reef. Popular sites in the Sanctuary include Sand Key, Rock Key and Eastern Dry Rocks.
Popular wreck dives include Joe's Tug, Cayman Salvage Master (goliath groupers), or the 520ft long Vandenberg.
