Mobile ticket
Come join us snorkeling some of the most beautiful reefs within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Pennekamp State Park. We have many possible reefs to explore: Molasses, Elbow, French Reef and the famous Christ of the Abyss on Dry Rocks. These protected areas offer an opportunity to see turtles, spotted eagle rays, moray eels and a variety of different fish. These special reefs are part of the 3rd largest living reef system in the world and the ONLY living coral reef in the US. We stop at two different locations on the reef. Each stop is determined by the captain based on the day's conditions. We cannot guarantee any specific site. We also offer scuba diving on our trips.
In an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastic that ends up in our oceans, we recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. We have water coolers in our shop and on our boats for your convenience!

5.00I rated this trip a 5 - although we did not go on the tour. We were very impressed that the tour operator let us know at check in the conditions of the water and wind were extremely rough. They made recommendations and explained what we would feel with 3 foot waves & wind. We ultimately decided to cancel the trip and they gave us a full refund. Safety First! I appreciate their honesty despite losing our money that day.
Amazing Dive!!

5.00Captain John and First Mate Nate were awesome! They kept things fun while answering every question we threw at them. The dives were the best of my trip. We saw sharks, eels, tons of fish, and a clever little octopus. We'd gladly do this again!
