Description

Afternoon two-tank Key West dive trips offer divers the chance to explore two different dive sites on the pristine coral reef system of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, the only living coral reef in the Continental US. An expert dive boat captain with deep knowledge of the local waters will select the sites for each trip in order to provide the perfect conditions for good visibility and safe, successful diving. This helps to assure that each dive is a high-quality experience that lets you make the most of your time on the waters of beautiful Key West, Florida.

After a short run out on the Phoenix, a custom 50í high-speed dive boat equipped with plenty of gear storage space, comfortable seating, a clean restroom, and a freshwater shower, our expert on-board dive team will help all divers get geared up and ready to enter the water. The dive masters will ensure that everyone has a dive buddy, and then get everyone in the party safely into the water.

Descending to intermediate recreational depths between about 30 to 75 feet, you will enter a magical world, and be amazed at the diversity and complexity of the reef ecosystem. Hundreds of species of marine life will be seen on each dive, including all kinds of colorful tropical reef fish, eels, rays, turtles, and larger fish such as Barracuda, Grouper, Jack Crevalle, and Cobia. The reef diving off Key West is truly spectacular, and easily rivals many of the exotic locations found outside the US.

Use the Cool Destinations website to conveniently book your Key West Dive trip, and come on out to explore the amazing living reef of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. You will log two unforgettable dives and have a great afternoon on the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers provided below are based on answers previously given to travelers by the Cool Destinations customer support team.

Can I join without diving?

Yes, you may book a snorkler/rider free ticket.

Are your afternoon dives (reef) going to different places every day?

While we aim to visit different reef locations, the final decision depends on visibility conditions. In some cases, dives may take place at the same reef to ensure the best experience.

How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

Participants in the Key West Afternoon 2-Tank Reef Scuba Dive cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.

The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.

If the Key West Afternoon 2-Tank Reef Scuba Dive must be canceled due to bad weather, and you cannot go on another day or time, you will be issued a refund by Cool Destinations.
