Dive flag up at 8am, every day

Two tanks on the reef
before lunch.

One boat leaves our dock at 8 every morning for two shallow reef sites off Key Largo, picked that morning for visibility and current. Tanks and weights are included, and a guide is in the water with you.

Dive and learn

What we run

Three things you can book online. Tanks and weights are included on every boat dive, and rental gear is extra.

2-Tank Reef Dive

Two shallow reef sites in the sanctuary, chosen that morning for visibility and current. A guide in the water, twelve divers at most. Leaves at 8am every day.

$129

Five-Dive Pack

Five two-tank boat dives for $549, which saves $96 over buying them one at a time. Good for a year. On calm days the second tank is sometimes a wreck, and the pack covers those trips too.

$549

Open Water Certification

Three days from your first breath underwater to certified. eLearning before you arrive, the lagoon on Friday, then four ocean dives on the reef over the weekend. Gear included, four students per instructor.

$499

Snorkelers can ride along

If someone in your group does not dive, they can come out on the 8am boat and snorkel the same shallow sites. Ask when you book and we will add a seat.

Been a while?

If it has been more than two years since your last dive, tell us when you book. An instructor will run through skills with you in the lagoon the afternoon before, so your first reef dive is not your refresher.

Rental gear

Full sets or single pieces: BCD, regulator, computer, 3mm wetsuit, mask and fins. Cameras and lights too. Sized at the shop the afternoon before your dive.

How we got here

One boat on purpose

Lorna Pittman taught diving in Key Largo for fourteen years before she bought a 40 ft dive boat with her cousin Benny Albury in 2017. They named the shop for the two things on the bow. There is still only the one boat. It goes out at 8 every morning, and the crew picks the two reef sites at the dock after checking the wind and the morning's visibility reports. A boat full of strangers sharing one guide was what Lorna liked least about the bigger shops she worked for. Here, twelve divers is the most we take, and a guide is in the water with every group. In the afternoons the boat stays tied up and the training lagoon is busy.

Dara spotted a nurse shark under a ledge on the second dive and waited while all six of us had a look. Unhurried surface interval, cold water on the boat. Back at the dock by 12:15.

2-Tank Reef Dive

Did my Open Water over a long weekend in March. Lorna was patient with my mask clearing, which took me about six tries. By Sunday I did not want to get out.

Boat is not fancy, but it is clean and the tanks were always full. One star off because the rental BCD I got on day two leaked at the inflator. They swapped it on the boat, but check yours.

Five-Dive Pack

They called off our first morning for wind the night before and moved us to Thursday with no fuss. Thursday was flat calm with about 60 feet of visibility.

Questions from the boat

Certification, gear, and conditions, answered by the crew.

For the reef dive and the five-dive pack, yes. Bring your card or have the app on your phone. If you are not certified, the Open Water course gets you there in three days.

Tanks, weights, and a guide on every boat dive. Rental gear is extra, about $45 a day for a full set. Everything is included on the Open Water course.

The captain decides the evening before and emails you. If we cancel, you pick another day or take a full refund. October can bring a few windy days when a front comes through, so leave yourself a spare morning if you can.

You buy it once and get a pass code. Each time you want to dive, book the 8am boat with your code. It is good for twelve months, so you can use some this trip and the rest next year.

About 82 to 84 degrees in early October. Most people dive in a 3mm suit or a rash guard. It cools into the mid 70s by January.

Plan on at least 18 hours between your last dive and your flight, and 24 if you have dived several days in a row. If you fly out Sunday morning, make Friday your last dive.
