Underwater Music Festival, Florida Keys, FL
The Florida Keys has hosted this unusual music festival for over 25 years. A man named Bill Becker founded the event in order to raise awareness for coral preservation. It all happens at Looe Key, which possesses one of the nation’s only living coral barrier reefs. The festival takes place for two days in July, and scuba divers wear funny costumes as they play music underwater on instruments such as the “trom-bonefish,” “sea-phan flute” and a “Fluke-a-Lele.” Naturally, they play the theme from Jaws as well as other ocean-themed songs. The music is broadcast on a local radio station.
