Snuba of Key West operates from Key West, Florida, offering snorkeling, SNUBA®, scuba diving, and private and public charters tailored to families, beginners, and certified divers. The company runs a variety of trips including public cocktail cruises, sandbar excursions, SNUBA and snorkeling tours, semi-private reef and wreck dives, private SCUBA charters for up to six divers, and extended Looe Key diving and sandbar charters.
Popular vessels include the 47' Cooper Marine power catamaran "Good Times," which accommodates up to 49 guests and features plush seating, a full open bar or BYOB options, a high-definition sound system, and included snorkel gear on many charters. The smaller dive vessel "Lori C." supports personalized Looe Key trips with attention from a USCG Master Captain and a PADI Divemaster on select adventures.
Trips range from four-hour half-day charters to five- to six-hour Looe Key expeditions and include professional photography packages on many private charters. SNUBA trips provide the underwater access of scuba without requiring certification, while 2-tank reef and wreck dives are available for certified divers seeking guided explorations of coral reefs and historic wrecks such as the Vandenberg.
Safety and professional guidance are emphasized through trained crews, dive masters, and USCG oversight where applicable. Snuba of Key West focuses on creating memorable, accessible ocean experiences in Key West waters for families, groups, and experienced divers alike.
Many snorkeling and SNUBA charters include all necessary equipment and plush seating, making trips suitable for first-time snorkelers and families. Private charters include customizable itineraries and photography.
