Diving

Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll do our best to make it happen.  Our staff are USCG licensed captains, PADI Instructors and Divemasters and have the local knowledge to show you a good time.  We dive all the local reefs and make decisions based on weather and visibility.  If there is a site you want to see let us know, if it is a possibility we’ll get you there.
Divers must hold at least an open water certification from a recognized agency.

2 tank dive to local reef  (approx 1/2 day) $90 per person, or $450 for private charter

Trips further out may be subject to additional cost

Can you bring the kids?

We like kids and think it is important to share time with them.  If there is room on the boat kids can ride along for free.  We will teach them how to sit surface support.  This is also weather dependent, we don’t want the little guys getting beat up out there.

Snorkeling and Eco Trips
