Afternoon Scuba & Snorkel Trips
Shallow reefs, clear water, and no certification required to join. IDC's afternoon trip is open to certified divers and snorkelers — a great introduction to Florida Keys reef life for the whole group.
About this Charter
The afternoon trip runs on Islamorada's shallow patch reefs — typically 15 to 30 feet, calm conditions, and the kind of fish life that makes first-timers immediately start looking into getting certified.
The trip is open to both certified divers and snorkelers, which makes it the easiest option if your group has a mix of experience levels. Snorkelers get all gear included. Certified divers bring their own or rent a full kit for $40. Everyone ends up on the same reef, seeing the same turtles, nurse sharks, and schools of tropical fish — just from different depths.
Two locations, four hours on the water, departing from Three Waters Marina. Site selection is made by the captain based on conditions that day.
Snorkelers: No experience needed. Minimum age 5.
Certified divers: Open Water certification required. Minimum age 10.
- Tanks, weights, and weight belt included for divers.
- Full gear rental available for $40.
- Wetsuit rental available for $20.
- A dive guide is available in the water upon request.
