Join an instructor from BlueWater Divers on Monday, June 8th for an unforgettable dive charter in Key Largo. These twice-daily trips take you to some of Florida Keys' most spectacular underwater destinations - pristine coral reefs and fascinating historic wrecks.

Certified divers (ages 10+) pay $100 per person and must bring proof of your highest certification level - either a digital card or physical certification card. Snorkelers (ages 8+) are welcome at $95 per person. The boat accommodates 1-6 guests comfortably, with plenty of deck space for gear and relaxing between dive sites.
Reserve your spot with just a 25% deposit and pay the remainder when your dives are complete. The experienced guide will determine your dive locations based on your certification levels, current conditions, and weather patterns. You can choose between two beautiful reefs, a combination wreck and reef dive, or two wrecks.
We provide all essential gear including tanks and weights, plus dockside rinse tanks for equipment and onboard camera rinse tanks. Additional amenities include complimentary snacks and fresh water on the boat, free parking, full restrooms, and on-site showers. If you're interested in private charter options for a more customized experience, contact us directly for details.
Highlights of Your Key Largo Dive Charter
Key Largo's underwater environment ranks among the most diverse in North America. The clear blue waters offer exceptional visibility, allowing you to fully appreciate the intricate details of thriving coral gardens and the fascinating history preserved in shipwrecks. Whether you're a seasoned diver or snorkeler, the variety of dive sites ensures each trip feels fresh and engaging.
Your guide knows these waters intimately and understands the seasonal patterns, current conditions, and best practices for safe, rewarding dives. The twice-daily schedule means you can hit the water when conditions are optimal, and the small group size ensures personalized attention rather than feeling like part of a crowded operation. This setup makes it ideal for couples or small groups seeking quality over volume.
On the Water Experience
Descending into Key Largo's underwater realm reveals a living ecosystem that few get to witness. The coral reefs here are working habitats - not museum pieces. You'll encounter colorful sponges, swaying sea fans, and intricate coral formations that have taken decades to establish. The reef structure provides shelter for countless fish species, from small damselfish to larger groupers and snappers that cruise the deeper sections.
The water clarity in Key Largo is often exceptional, especially during summer months. This transparency is what makes the experience so immersive. You can see 80-100+ feet ahead, allowing you to navigate confidently and spot wildlife from a distance. The cool, flowing current keeps the water fresh and the reef healthy.
Historic wrecks add another dimension to your dive experience. These artificial reefs have become thriving habitats over the years, attracting marine life and creating unique exploration opportunities. Swimming through the structure of a wreck requires different skills and awareness than reef diving, which is why your guide's expertise in choosing appropriate sites based on certification levels matters significantly.
The offshore setting means you're well away from shore traffic and recreational swimmers. This isolation creates a peaceful, focused diving environment where you can concentrate on the underwater landscape and your own breathing and buoyancy control. Many divers report that time underwater feels meditative and restorative.
Plan Your Key Largo Dive Day
Arrive with enough time to check in, review your certification card, and get fitted with gear if you're renting. The guide will conduct a full briefing covering the specific dive sites, entry and exit procedures, hand signals, and emergency protocols. This preparation typically takes 30-45 minutes before boat departure.
You'll spend approximately 3-4 hours total on the water. This includes travel time to the dive sites, typically two separate dives with a surface interval between them, and return to the dock. Each dive averages 35-45 minutes depending on depth and your air consumption rate.
Bring a light rash guard or wetsuit (reef-appropriate coverage), sunscreen for your face if not covered by a hood, and a towel. All tanks, weights, and primary diving equipment are provided. If you have your own gear you prefer to use, you're welcome to bring it - just let us know when booking.
The boat provides snacks and fresh water throughout the day, but many divers appreciate bringing their own electrolyte drink or light snack for between dives. After returning to the dock, you can rinse your gear thoroughly at the dockside station and shower in our on-site facilities before heading out.
