Reef
- A Finz reef dive is the best you can find in the keys. With more flexibility than other shops in Key West we take you to the best visibility and coral reef sites available. The reefs we choose see less divers and snorkelers, so they are in far better shape with more life. Sea fans, pillar coral, branching, and plate coral are abundant with the most beautiful colors you can imagine. Fish life is abundant and vibrant colors surround you while you explore the reef with our experienced dive guide.
- Finz reef dives are 2 tank and last approximately 4 hours.
Wreck
- The Finz wreck dive is one of the most exciting dives we offer. With our knowledgeable dive guide leading the way you will be taken back through history and learn where each wreck came from and how it got to its final resting place on the ocean floor. Our flagship wreck USNS General Hoyt S Vandenberg is so large most can't dive the entire length in even two dives. With an abundance of fish life and an ever growing coral population, you are sure to find something special on each dive. "I have over 600 dives on the Vandenberg alone and still find something new each time" Robert Trosset
- Some amazing things we have encountered on our wreck dives are huge schools of fish surrounding us, octopus, giant moray eels, turtles, porpoise, sharks, and grouper larger than a person! Don't forget your camera on this adventure. You are sure to make memories for a lifetime.
- Our wreck dives are 2 tank and last approximately 4 hours.
