Does anyone know of any areas off of Marathon Fl. where the possession or use of underwater metal detectors is unlawful. Not talking about removing artifacts, just using the detector.

I cannot find any applicable state law in any of the NOAA or Fl. laws to prohibit possession. There are nearby dive shops that rent this stuff I think?

As far as I know, metal detecting in Marathon is legal. You can rent a detector at: Tildens Scuba, MM61, (305) 289-4931, Abyss Dive Cntr, MM54, 743-2126, Marathon Divers, 289-1141. They will also advise you of the detection laws.

Thanks- I have a detector, just knew (or thought) they wouldn't rent them if subject to seizure. Thanks for your post- it affirms my thoughts, and I always like people that agree with me!
