Scuba Diving with an Instructor in BlueWater Divers on Friday, June 19th - Rates & Booking
An experienced instructor with BlueWater Divers guides you on this popular Key Largo dive charter, operating twice daily to maximize your time exploring the water's best sites. The dive trip runs 3 to 4 hours depending on conditions and which underwater locations your group visits that day.
Certified divers pay $100 per person (bring your c-card to verify your highest certification level). Snorkelers interested in the same adventure cost $95. Group sizes range from 1 to 6 people, keeping the experience personal and manageable. A 25% deposit reserves your spot, with the balance due once your dives are complete.
All dive tanks and weights are provided onboard. You'll have fresh water and snacks available throughout the trip, plus dock-side rinse tanks and an onboard camera rinse station to protect your gear. Free parking, restrooms, and on-site showers round out the convenience.
Highlights of Your Key Largo Dive Charter
Your instructor chooses between two beautiful coral reefs, a combination wreck-and-reef dive, or two different wrecks based on your group's certification levels and current water conditions. This flexibility means every trip feels unique, whether you're swimming through vibrant coral gardens alive with fish or navigating the historic structure of a shipwreck resting on the seafloor.
The boat comfortably handles up to 6 divers with plenty of deck space for gear preparation, relaxing between dives, and enjoying the Florida Keys atmosphere. Your guide knows these waters inside and out, pointing out details you might miss and ensuring safety throughout the experience.
On the Water Experience
Descending from the boat into Key Largo's underwater realm reveals the dramatic contrast between the shallow reef system and the deeper wreck sites below. The water clarity here allows you to see well into the blue, spotting the intricate coral formations before you arrive and the outline of historic shipwrecks against the seafloor.
Coral reefs in this region support dense populations of tropical fish, sea fans that sway with the current, and vibrant sponge formations. Wrecks provide their own ecosystem, with fish seeking shelter in the ship's structure and growth accumulating on metal surfaces over decades. Your instructor points out behavioral details and identifies species you encounter, turning observation into understanding.
The reef environment here benefits from Gulf Stream protection and a long history of marine conservation. Visibility often reaches 40-60 feet, and the mix of shallow and moderate depths makes Key Largo accessible for divers building experience while still offering rewards for advanced explorers. Water temperature in June runs warm, making the experience comfortable for extended bottom time.
Between dives, topside time gives you a chance to rest, hydrate, and prepare for the second site. Many divers appreciate the smaller boat size here compared to larger operations - there's enough space to move around without feeling crowded, and the crew runs efficiently without unnecessary downtime.
Plan Your Key Largo Dive Day
Arrive early enough to check in, complete any required paperwork, and get your gear organized on the boat. Your instructor reviews the dive plan and any specific site conditions before heading out. Bring your certification card and any dive log if you have one. The boat provides tanks, weights, rinse stations, and snacks, so pack sunscreen, a towel, and personal items like medications or a wetsuit if you prefer your own gear.
Groups of 1 to 6 divers work well here. If you're bringing family or friends, the personalized attention means everyone gets looked after. The entire experience - including boat time, two dives, surface intervals, and rinse downs - fits within 3 to 4 hours, making it easy to fit into a day of exploring Key Largo.
