The History of Diving Museum Islamorada tells the story of man’s quest to explore, understand and venture under the sea.
The Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, displaying, and interpreting artifacts, antiques, books, documents, photographs, and oral history relative to the History of Diving. We tell the international story of man’s attempts to explore, understand, and venture under the sea. We also celebrate the special role that South Florida and the Florida Keys played in this story.
The Florida Keys History of Diving Museum is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational institution focused on the Story of Man’s Quest to Explore Under the Sea.
The majority of the Museum’s artifacts have been provided through the generous support of its founders, Drs. Joe and Sally Bauer, who hold one of the largest collection of historic diving equipment and research documents in the world.
The History of Diving Museum is a member of the American Association of Museums (AAM), Florida Association of Museums (FAM), and the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).
