REEF Fest 2026 is back! Join us in Key Largo, Florida, October 15–18, for REEF's annual celebration of all things ocean.
Since 2015, divers, snorkelers, and ocean lovers have gathered each fall in the Florida Keys to celebrate their connection to the sea and learn about the latest in marine science and conservation. Here's what's in store:
🐟 Ocean Seminars from leading scientists and conservationists, including:
Sam Purkis — "Exploring Earth's Final Frontier"
Jennifer Rehage — "Everglades and Fishes"
Aisha Rickli-Rahman — "Something Seems Fishy"
Conservation Science Panel Discussion
🤿 Morning dive, snorkel, and eco-adventures Thursday through Saturday with our trusted REEF Fest Experience Partners. Book directly with the operator of your choice.
🥂 Social events including the Thursday Welcome Reception and Friday Happy Hour at the REEF Campus.
🌅 "For the Love of the Sea" celebration — Saturday, October 17, 5:00–8:30pm at a beautiful bayside property next to Quiescence Diving Services. Enjoy dinner, drinks, and an open bar overlooking the sunset on Florida Bay. Tickets are limited: $95 early bird, increasing to $125 on 8/15/26.
Most events are free to attend, but we ask that you pre-register so we can plan for a great event. Seminars and receptions are held at the REEF Ocean Exploration Center at the REEF Campus (98380 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037).
