Operating
since 1985, Underwater Safaris is a PADI Gold
Palm Instructor Development Center Resort Facility
with a  record
for safety unequaled by any other organization.
The dive boats are U.S. Coast Guard inspected
driven by a licensed captain, and all instructors
are PADI-trained with years of experience leading
both certified and non-certified divers.
For
Divers with less experience we have sites ranging
from depths of 35' to 55' that offer very relaxed
diving with little or no surge or current and
outstanding visibility. More advanced divers
would enjoy the challenge of the Kennedy and
the Miss Opportunity. Certified PADI Divemasters
and Instructors accompany all divers throughout
the dive tour giving informative pre-dive briefings.
They also point out unique marine life and any
hazards along the way, greatly enhancing the
overall educational value, safety and enjoyment
of the dives.
 Local
weather conditions the day of the dive determines
the best sites to dive. Normally, we do two
dives in the morning; the first is a reef dive
and the second is a wreck dive. The dive leaves
at approx. 8:30 AM and returns at approx. 12:30
PM. Often we go to Buck Island Wildlife Refuge
and dive the wreck of the Cartanza Senior. Another
favorite spot is the Navy Barges, a great wreck
dive with lots of intriguing marine life. All
of our certified dives are guided with a maximum
of 10 divers per instructor with no surge or
current and great visibility!
