2.Half Day Scuba Diving Trip in the Florida Keys

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 157 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $115Top rated

Spend about three and a half hours aboard a 45-foot catamaran visiting two Florida Keys reef sites in the National Marine Sanctuary. You must be certified, and tanks and weights are included, but personal SCUBA gear and an in-water guide cost extra. Captains Brad, Katie, and Carl, along with guides such as Joe and Nate, may be part of the crew.

“I recently had an experience with "Pirate's Cove" that left me disappointed. I expected a good family friendly trip, but instead I encountered poor service, delays, unprofessional behavior from the Manager, and rude employees. This was especially frustrating because this was my wife and I's anniversary trip, and we would have went elsewhere had I known this place to be such a circus. I believe that the business could improve by buying newer, less prone to break-down equipment, providing basic nessecities to its customers, and getting rid of that Suzie woman. She was a very crude and unrefined woman. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend them at this…”

It was such a fun trip! The weather was perfect with minimum swell and the water was crystal clear. We saw several turtles, a nurse shark, many barracudas and bunch of other beautiful fish.
