Discover the vibrant reefs and historic wrecks of Key West on a private 2-tank dive with Finz Dive Charters. Perfect for intimate groups, this trip delivers personalized underwater adventure in the Florida Keys’ renowned marine environment.
Key West, Florida, sits at the southernmost point of the continental United States, known for its vibrant marine ecosystems and historic shipwrecks. Finz Dive Charters offers a unique way to immerse yourself in this underwater world with their ½ Day - 2 Tank Private Dive Trip, designed for up to six guests. This experience combines the thrill of exploring luminous coral reefs with the intrigue of diving on wrecks like the USNS General Hoyt S Vandenberg, a former missile tracking ship turned artificial reef. The trip is tailored to your group, allowing for a personalized dive that balances adventure and education.
On board their well-equipped vessel, divers are guided by experienced professionals who ensure safety while unlocking the secrets beneath the surface. The reefs burst with colorful coral formations and teeming marine life—schools of tropical fish, curious sea turtles, and darting barracuda often make appearances. Wreck dives reveal glimpses into maritime history, providing a fascinating contrast to the lively reef scenes.
What makes Finz Dive Charters stand out is their commitment to a customized, intimate experience that prioritizes both safety and discovery.
