About
Islamorada
Dive Center
A PADI 5-Star dive center based at Three Waters Marina in Islamorada, FL guiding divers underwater since 2012.
Diving the Keys
Since 2012
Islamorada Dive Center was founded with one goal: put divers on the best reefs and wrecks in the Florida Keys, guided by people who know this water better than anyone.
Since opening our doors in October 2012, we've built a reputation as the most trusted dive operation in Islamorada — earning the #1 Safety rating in the US and Canada from Scuba Diving Magazine and five consecutive Readers' Choice awards. We operate year-round from Three Waters Marina at MM 84.5 — two daily departures, every single day.
Whether you're a first-timer trying scuba for the first time or a certified diver chasing the Eagle Wreck, we have a trip for you. Every charter is guided in the water by our PADI-certified instructors.
The “Aquatic Freedom”
Our boat is purpose-built for dive operations in the Florida Keys — stable, spacious, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable day on the water.
We depart daily from Three Waters Marina at MM 84.5 in Islamorada. Short runs to the reef mean more time underwater and less time on the boat — most of our dive sites are under 20 minutes offshore.
