Your trip starts with you arriving somewhere between 5:00pm-6:30pm at Ft. Myers Beach Location. We will give you a boat briefing, and leave the dock around 7:00pm. You will have a 12-hour cruise to dream of the diving you will be doing in the remote, pristine waters of "The Dry Tortugas".

Day one:

Arrive at 7:00 am on your first dive site, breakfast will be served (before or after your dive, your choice). Then we will continue to move to different dive sites throughout the day. (Plan on 5-8 sites per day). You can pick and choose which sites you'd like to dive! Most dive sites average between 40-80 feet, we can customize to your abilities. Lunch and dinner will be worked into your schedules.

Day two will consist of the same type of schedule. A visit to "Fort Jefferson National Monument" can also be worked into your itinerary.

Day three: you will wake up anchored to the "Baja California", a World War ll transport ship built in 1914. The 266-foot steamship was carrying a general cargo that included tobacco when it was torpedoed just forward of midships by the German submarine U-84 on July 19, 1942. The main wreckage now sits in 115 feet of water off Naples. Read more about this wreck.
Your next dive will be on an Air Force relay tower, (A trip favorite!) Then we will be heading home, arriving between 4:00-5:00pm.
