Six charters leave Garden Cove Marina on the boats our captains have been diving from for decades. Reef dives, snorkel-only runs, private boats, and a few specialty trips for certified divers who want something different.
Check Availability & BookEvery charter departs from the original Garden Cove Marina slip, on one of three boats, with a captain and divemaster who know these specific sites by name. Pick the trip that suits the day you have.
Two dives on two different sites along the only living coral reef in the continental U.S. Tank, weights, and a divemaster who has logged thousands of hours here.
A supervised intro dive for first-timers. Pool skills in the morning, then a shallow reef dive in the afternoon with one of our PADI instructors beside you the whole way.
A guided snorkel over two shallow patch reefs. Mask, snorkel, and fins provided; warm water and a short boat ride put you on the reef in minutes.
The boat, the captain, and the sites of your choosing. Family trips, photographers, or divers returning to a specific wreck — built around what you want to see.
For divers who haven't logged a dive in a year or two. Classroom review, confined-water skills, and a single shallow reef dive to put everything back in place.
A photographer's pace on the reef. Extended bottom times, a guide who knows where the subjects are, and a quiet boat with room for a tray.
You'll want a guide in the water with you the whole time, in shallow water, on sites that are forgiving and full of life. Start with one of these.
You can join the daily boat, book the whole boat for your group, or pick the specialty charter that matches what you actually want to do underwater.
“We kept the boats small on purpose. Six divers means I can hear the question before it's asked, and the captain can adjust the site if the current shifts. That's the whole company, really — a dock, three boats, and people who pay attention.”
Only for the 2-Tank Reef Dive and Photographer Charter. Discover Scuba is built for first-timers and includes a supervised pool session before the open-water dive. Snorkel trips need no certification at all.
Towel, reef-safe sunscreen, swimsuit worn under clothing, and a sense of what time you want to be back on dry land. Everything else — tanks, weights, masks, fins — is here.
Snorkel: any age with a parent. Discover Scuba: 10+, with a parent on board. Certified charters: divers of any age with an active card. There is no upper limit; we regularly take guests in their seventies.
We watch conditions the morning of the charter. If the captain calls it off for safety, you are rescheduled at no charge or refunded in full. If you cancel more than 48 hours ahead, you can reschedule with no fee.
Six, maximum. For Discover Scuba it's four. That is roughly half the industry average and it is the rule we won't bend.
Only sites along the Key Largo / Upper Keys stretch — Molasses Reef, French Reef, the Spiegel Grove, Christ of the Deep, and a handful of patch reefs the captains know well. No trips outside that region.
The reservation form loads the current boat schedule — 2-Tank, Discover, Snorkel, and private boats — so you see real availability for the dates that fit your trip.
