The company runs private half‑day scallop charters in the Gulf of Mexico — a 4.5‑hour trip with a private boat for up to six guests and personalized attention from a captain and a trained pro. Complimentary snacks, drinks, and snorkeling gear are provided on the single‑passenger half‑day scallop option, making it accessible for visitors and families. Mac's Sports also hosts free spearfishing seminars covering gear, safety, and techniques for beginners and experienced divers. Popular Florida dive experiences include night dives on freshwater rivers such as the Rainbow River, shore dives at Venice Beach for shark tooth hunting, guided dives at Devil’s Den, and two‑tank boat dives and shore exploration at Blue Heron Bridge. The operation organizes weekend wreck trips in Panama City Beach with multiple deep dives (80–100 feet) and a two‑night hotel stay geared toward Nitrox and Advanced certified divers. Day trips to iconic freshwater and cavern sites like Blue Grotto — home to the resident turtle Virgil — feature guided dives followed by group cookouts. For international travel, Mac's Sports offers an all‑inclusive week at the Mayan Princess Resort in Roatán with 16 dives, including a night dive.
