Unlike other dive businesses, we keep the numbers down to give you the best attention and ultimately the most memorable scuba diving experience. All of our boat dives are a two-tank dive with all gear included.
We operate our own custom USCG (United States Coast Guard) Certified dive boats, outfitted with full safety equipment including oxygen and an emergency radio beacon. Our experienced captains and crew are here to make your diving experience truly remarkable.
