FLORIDA KEYS -- The Florida Keys are slated to be featured on the new recreational diving show, “Destination Dive,” set to premiere on Discovery Sunday, Sept. 4, at 7:30 a.m. ET/PT.

With an emphasis on conservation, protection and activism, “Destination Dive” is to take viewers on exciting adventures as unique as the Florida Keys island chain it covers.

”The Keys are teeming with amazing diving, marine life and people who are passionate about protecting oceans,” said Mike Zimmer, the show’s executive producer. “‘Destination Dive’ shares their stories in unique and compelling ways."

Among other topics, first episode segments cover coral restoration, family diving and the Florida Keys Wreck Trek.

“Our audience will be captivated by these stories, people and the visual beauty we’ll transport them to,” said Captain Eric Billips, the show’s host and a Florida Keys dive operator. "Spending time with these extraordinary individuals is not only fun, but also truly inspiring.” 

"Destination Dive” is to return in 2023 with five new shows, all originating from the Florida Keys. For a sneak peek, visit the show’s website, destinationdive.tv.
