Florida Keys Scuba Charter and Lessons

Key West Scuba Diving

Scuba diving the clear and warm waters of Key West.

SCUBA diving: For the more adventurous and experienced, SCUBA diving requires certification from an approved facility. These trips are 3 to 4 hours in duration and offer you the choice of a two-tank two-reef dive, a double wreck dive or a combo wreck/reef dive.

One of the most popular diving spots off Key West is Sand Key where, in 15 to 25 feet of water, you will see rock fingers, elkhorn and staghorn coral, sea turtles, rays and hundreds of varieties of tropical fish. At the nearby Western Dry Rocks, you will be able to dive deeper and see the Aquanaut, a tug sunk in 75 feet of water.

UPDATE: The USS Vandenberg, intentionally sunk in May 2009 in 140 feet of water 7 miles south of Key West is now open for scuba diving.

If you require a full package of equipment, expect to pay approximately $75 per person or, if you’ll only need tanks and weights, the price goes down to approximately $60 for the half-day experience.

If you are not PADI certified, you may wish to take the open-water course and get that dive card in 3 to 4 days at one of our world-class dive shops.

Or, if you don’t have that much time, you may elect to take the very convenient Resort Course which is available to those who wish to have the SCUBA experience in one day only. Train with a qualified divemaster in your hotel pool and study a few manuals in the morning from 9am-1pm, and then you’re set to take the easy two-reef dive that afternoon from 1pm-6pm. It’s a fun and easy way to Scuba-for-a-day and is priced at $175 per person.
