Scuba diving in Key West is one of the most unique scuba diving experiences you can have as a diver. Imagine not having to wear a wetsuit since the water is a pleasant 80 degrees much of the year. And with our quick six pack boats, you can be diving a barrier reef within an hour of checking in at our shop.  Once you get to the reef, you will scuba dive with a few friends and our qualified dive master and/or guides. Key West’s waters offer some amazing dive site variety as well.  We have dives at Key West’s reef (check out our dives page for prices on our 2 tank reef dive), we have wrecks to dive as well.  Such as the Vandenberg (we have a 2 tank dive available for the Vandenberg too), if you want variety – dive both, ask about our combo dive trip.  Also some of our most popular trips are our Key West night dives and our Dry Tortugas dives.

–  FINZ Dive Center is your one stop dive shop for all your Key West diving and spearfishing needs.  Finz offers a complete assortment of dive equipment and services. Our licensed USCG six pack captains are some of the most knowledgeable and experienced in the Florida Keys, we always provide a professional guide for each dive. Even if you are not going out with us, we still have you covered.As a full-service dive shop, we have all your equipment, on-site air tank fills and a qualified comprehensive repair center. Whether you need spear gun repair or rigging services, need new dive equipment, tackle, bait, or snacks, we are your one stop before hitting the water.

FINZ Dive Center is not your stereotypical Key West dive shop. We don’t load you onto a school bus sized boat with 23 other divers and take you to the same three spots that the other Key West dive shops are going to. Looking for something beyond the normal dive? We want your experience to be more unique, intimate, and memorable. We focus our dives on smaller six pack sized boats. This allows us to take you or you and your party to some of the most fantastic spots in and around Key West. Sure, we’ll take you to the dive spots you’ve read about before you arrived in Key West, but our experienced divers also know some dive spots that haven’t even made the magazines yet. Our smaller boats allow us to take you to more dive spots and since they are smaller, the boats are faster, putting you in the water quicker. In addition to tank dives, we also want to take you freediving, spearfishing and snorkel fishing.

Our boats seat six divers comfortably. Smaller boats equal better dive spots. Small groups, couples, and solo divers benefit from our more intimate approach to dive trips. Dive with people you know and like instead of a couple dozen people you’ve never met. Less people also gives you better access and better visibility of our miles of natural coral barrier reef, schools of fish like the blue-striped grunts, sharks, eels, wrecks, etc. .

We are blessed here in Key West and the Florida Keys to have some of the best waters to skin dive/free dive/snorkel. Whether you want to take a break from the tanks, or you aren’t certified yet (we can help you there too: complete certification from refresher to dive master), or you just prefer freediving, our Key West dive guides will show you some of our favorite spots. We can also take you to some pretty cool spots if you just want to snorkel too. Our six packs also allow us to take our snorkelers to shallower reef spots with slower currents and fewer hazards. If you are new to diving, that’s cool too, we can go to safer dive spots that will still give you some of the best snorkel memories ever.

 

One of our favorite ways to experience scuba diving is during the night. Our well-lit boat will take you to an entirely new world. At night everything changes, corals open up, fish lose their fear of people, colors change, and the entire experience becomes magical. We bring our own light source into the water which brings out colors you wouldn’t normally see. Many underwater creatures are nocturnal and only forage for food at night so the entire ecosystem changes. Some of the most memorable dives we have are created after the sun goes down.

The Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the most amazing places on earth. Situated 70 miles from Key West it is secluded from most of the pressures of human development. The water is crystal clear and the coral reefs are unbelievable. Some of the coral structures rise 50ft from the bottom straight up. Fish life is everywhere and there are species you will only find inside the park. We have one of the few permits to be able to dive inside the national park and will safely take you and your dive buddies to dive sites you could never forget.

Finz is known for our exceptional customer service, personal attention to detail, and relaxed atmosphere. Our 2 tank reef dive is full of amazing fish and coral life and is sure to amaze you. The trip starts with meeting our professional crew and getting you outfitted with any equipment you may need. We take all your stuff to the boat and a few minutes later we are moving through the mangroves on the way to our ocean dive site.

 

Finz Wreck Dive is the best way to experience our amazing artificial reefs. Key West is home to the second largest artificial reef in the world. USNS Hoyt S Vandenberg. At over 520 feet long and 70 ft wide she is the most popular wreck in the lower keys and the favorite of our crew. The main deck is at 100ft and is the perfect depth to utilize Nitrox on your dive. The satellite dishes are mostly intact and huge! Fish life is abundant and the wreck is filled with species only seen on deeper dives. Sharks are often seen on our dives along with Goliath Grouper, Rays, Barracuda, and many other species.

Finz private charters are the most flexible way to scuba. We offer two, three, or 4 tank dives to dive sites that no one else visits. Booking a private charter means the boat is yours for up to 6 guests. Want to do two dives have lunch on a secluded beach and then do another dive? No problem! We can mix and match any of your favorite activities including scuba diving, backcountry exploring, dolphin watching, lunch on a sandbar, snorkeling, spearfishing, sunset cruises and more. We specialize in custom requests so if you want to do it we can probably make it happen.

Always wanted to learn to scuba dive but never had the chance? Have you always wondered what it would be like to breathe underwater? Realized that coming to Key West and missing out on a dive adventure would be a big mistake? Seen all the sights on our eight square miles of land and really want to be in the water? Do you want to see the wonders of the underwater world in person?

 

Most people think it’s a complicated process that takes days or weeks before they get to dive a reef but we have the perfect course for you. Our FINZ Dive in a Day. Our Dive in a Day course will teach you the basics of scuba diving allowing you to dive with our experienced instructors. We start with the knowledge necessary then add basic skills needed to be safe underwater. We take you on one of our amazing reef dives as soon as you are comfortable. You will see colorful fish, beautiful coral, and explore the 3rd largest barrier coral reef in the world. Just when you think it can’t get any better, and you are smiling ear-to-ear, we swap out your tank and do another dive on the reef! It really doesn’t get any better than this.

Come experience scuba diving for yourself and start a lifelong passion with Finz Dive in a Day!

We will hunt for many species of fish and enjoy the beautiful reef while we dive. Our Divemaster will be with you the whole time and provide the knowledge an skill development necessary for you to hunt safely. Whether you are spearfishing while freediving/snorkeling or while scuba diving, spearfishing with Finz will take your vacation to the next level.

We recommend a longer trip for beginners so you have more time to practice your skills and capture that trophy fish you so desire.

At Finz we are always looking for fun ways to get out on the ocean. Finz Snorkel Fishing is the newest way we can have fun! We have combined the best part of fishing with the best parts of snorkeling and created an interactive experience like no other. With our custom built waterproof rod and reels we actually get into the water and watch what fish do as they bite our line. Floating on the surface and looking down at the action causes a new understanding of how fish react and interact when we fish for them. You can’t explain how exciting it is to see the fish swimming on the bottom, drop your line to them, watch them eat your bait, and reel it in from the water.

Finz Snorkel Fishing can be done in some areas that are protected from spearfishing meaning the fish are bigger and so is the excitement. Come try this new way to fish and see for yourself how exhilarating it can be!
