Scuba Charters and Diving Instruction with Sand & Sea Key West

Sand & Sea Key West Charters delivers an exceptional aquatic experience, combining private scuba instruction with six-pack boat charters for diving, snorkeling, fishing, and sightseeing. Based in Key West and certified by PADI, NAUI, DAN, EFR, and the USCG, this professional dive operation ensures both safety and excellence for all levels of divers—from beginners exploring with Discover Scuba to advanced adventurers pursuing Rescue Diver or Divemaster certifications.

Offering family-friendly private instruction, Sand & Sea Key West specializes in personalized training sessions, including Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water, Refresher courses, First Aid and CPR, and Nitrox certification. Each class is guided with confidence-building care and led by highly credentialed instructors.

Beyond scuba training, guests can charter the 26-foot M/V Endless Summer, designed for comfort and agility on both nearshore and offshore waters. With a six-passenger maximum, this private boat is perfect for reef dives, wreck dives (up to 130 feet), sunset cruises, dolphin encounters, or sandbar hopping. Scuba diving options include 2 or 3 tank dives, with full gear rentals available and the option to hire a Dive Master for personalized guidance.

Additional excursions include private snorkeling trips, lobstering adventures, and customizable fishing charters, with options for light tackle or deep sea. Marquesas Key charters, requiring a minimum 5-hour booking, provide rare access to one of Florida’s most untouched marine sanctuaries, featuring island-hopping, wreck diving, and unforgettable vistas.

All charters are BYOB, with alcohol permitted after in-water activities, and flexible scheduling ensures guests can tailor each day on the water to match their group’s interests and comfort levels. Whether training to become a certified diver or simply chasing dolphins through the surf, Sand & Sea Key West Charters offers a curated journey through the best of the Florida Keys.
