Welcome to Blue Water Explorers, the folks who've been scuba diving and spear fishing in Florida's Gulf Coast waters for over 30 years. We're the largest dive charter in the area and offer a variety of trips daily to the many (over 50!) offshore reefs, ledges and wrecks in the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Most dives are in 40-65 feet of water and 10-18 miles off shore. Specialty dives are usually in 80-100 feet depths and up to 25 miles out. Visibility is varied, with an average of 30 feet. There are also days though with 80 foot visibility! There is a huge variety of marine life to be seen and each site has "regulars" that live there in addition to fish that are just passing through.
In addition to scuba dive and spear fishing charters, we offer snorkeling and shelling excursions. We're located right on the Intracoastal Waterway and can get out to the Gulf in only 5 minutes. It's all about convenience....park your car next to the Scuba Shack/dive shop, get your tanks and gear inside and walk down the ramp to get on the boat. No shuttle vans or gear hauling.
We offer 2-tank, 3-tank and 4-tank scuba dive charters, including night dives. Nitrox, air, scuba gear and equipment rental are also available in the dive shop. "Bubble watchers" (non-diving friends and family who would like to come along for a boat ride) are also welcome.
Our roomy custom dive boats are U.S. Coast Guard inspected and certified, an important safety feature. Call us for the best scuba diving and spearfishing in the Sarasota, Bradenton, Longboat Key, St. Pete and Tampa Bay area!
