Finz Dive Charters Corporation is a Key West, Florida dive operator offering guided scuba and snorkeling excursions across the Florida Keys.
The operation runs a mix of public and private trips, including 2-tank public dives, 2-tank wreck dives, dedicated night dives, and private charters available in ½ day, 3/4 day (3-tank) and full-day (4-tank) formats. Private charters accommodate up to six guests and can be customized to include reef diving, wreck exploration, secluded beach lunches, dolphin watching, and sunset cruises.
Training and skill support are available through a Scuba Skills Refresher Course aimed at certified divers returning after a year or more. Night dive options include guided 4-hour dives on reef sites or at the USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg wreck, with dive masters leading each immersion. Public combo dives pair wreck and reef exploration, highlighting turtles, rays, and abundant reef life.
For extended excursions, Finz runs a Premium Dry Tortugas Trip aboard the Park Shark, a climate-controlled vessel operating a 10-hour itinerary to Dry Tortugas National Park and Fort Jefferson with guided snorkeling and dive opportunities. The fleet’s full-day private trips also offer multi-tank diving and sand bar stops.
Guided dives are led by professional dive masters who provide safety briefings, site orientation, and local knowledge to support diver comfort and memorable underwater experiences in the Key West region.
