The ``Sea Renity II`` is a Sport-Craft 272`s made for fun and comfort. We selected this boat because of the versatility and comfort they provide.

With open seating you can dive, snorkel, swim or enjoy the view without the hassle and stress of a crowded dive boat. A dive guide is available so that you don`t miss the underwater attractions and can just relax and enjoy your dive. Imagine not having to be concerned about where or how far away the boat is during your dive.
If you choose to private charter, the boat is yours for the day, or half day, with a captain and crew to do just about anything you can think of. Don`t want to do the usual snorkeling/diving? We can provide you with creative ideas to make your day truly unique and memorable while enjoying your favorite foods and beverages along with tuxedo style service for your every need.
On all of our excursions we take you to the more beautiful sites of the keys, away from the crowds where the reefs are unspoiled and beautiful.
Hungry for fresh Florida Lobster? Want to catch your own? We have the answers, our exclusive Private Lobster Charters. Since we are commercially licensed, no personal lobster license is necessary. We will take your group to our secret HOT spots away from the crowds and show you the best techniques for bagging the bugs. We will also send a guide down with you to help locate the lobsters.

All of our itineraries are designed to provide you with a chance to enjoy the Florida Keys in comfort on an uncrowded boat. We have two boats in Key Largo so that we can offer the widest variety of dive sites available.
The Carysfort Reef is located in the northeastern corner of the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary. Because of it`s distance from the more central dive and snorkel sites relatively few divers visit the reef even though it is of exceptional interest and beauty. The configuration of Carysfort is very distinctive, comprised of spurs and grooves which drop down to a depth of 55-60 feet. In some areas a ledge drops to a sandy trench at 60-70 feet in depth. Separated by the trench is a second miniwall which rises up to about 35 feet. The only configuration of it`s type in the Keys. Carysfort is especially rich in color and marine life. We have seen squid, dolphin, jewfish, nudibranchs, game fish, eels and a wide variety of reef creatures there. Great for photography buffs.
The Elbow Reef was so named because the shape resembles a bent elbow. It is located about 5 miles south of Carysfort and has such diverse sites that an entire day of snorkeling or diving can easily be spent there. Two popular wrecks are located on Elbow, the City of Washington and Mike`s Wreck, at 18-20 feet of depth. They are great sites for snorkeling and diving because so many fish inhabit the areas. Reef design is comprised of spurs and grooves which slope down as you go towards deeper water. A wide variety of fish and a moray eel or two call these sites home. Because people often feed the fish at these sites, they are less afraid of divers and we have actually had groupers allow us to touch them.
Key Largo Dry Rocks is one of the most popular sites in the Sanctuary because the Christ of the Abyss statue is located here. North North Dry Rocks is a great site for macro opportunities and photography. There are caves here which are large enough to swim through, and depending on the time of year, can be filled with minnows. Dry Rocks is great for both Diving and Snorkeling.
The Molasses Reef is the most popular dive site in the world. It is a large reef and offers a variety of attractions. There is always an abundance of sea life and creatures to be seen here whether in shallow water or deep. The coral in some locations is generally not as nice as on some other reefs, however larger animals like turtles, rays and sharks are common on Molasses. Because of the prevailing current, drift dives of anywhere from 35-70 feet are easily possible. You never know what you will see here.
