FL Keys Unique Diving

Located in Tavernier, FL Keys Unique Diving provides a specialised approach to exploring the Florida Keys reefs. The centre is well-established in the region, with the team bringing over 35 years of local experience to every trip.

Instead of traditional Scuba, the centre specialises in hookah diving. This system uses an on-board compressor to pump air through long lines, allowing you to enjoy the reef without the physical burden of a heavy cylinder.

The team at this centre brings decades of expertise to the local waters, having operated in these specific areas for more than 35 years. This deep local knowledge ensures you are guided by people who understand the nuances of the reef flat.

Small groups are a priority here, ensuring you receive personalised attention throughout your session. This approach makes the experience particularly accessible for children or those looking for a more relaxed introduction to the underwater world.

For those looking to begin their underwater journey, the centre offers Scuba Certification programmes. These courses are designed to provide the fundamental skills necessary for safe diving.

The centre operates a vessel with a capacity for up to 6 people at a time, ensuring a private and uncrowded atmosphere. Trips typically last around 3 hours.

On board, you will find essentials such as water, snacks, and drinks, along with towels, hats, and sunscreen. The boat is also equipped with a camera for capturing your time on the reef.

The centre uses a hookah system powered by a compressor on the boat, which delivers air through lines ranging from 100 to 150 feet in length. This allows for a weightless experience while exploring the reef.

While equipment is provided if required, it is recommended that you bring your own mask and fins to ensure a precise fit.

The reefs here are home to a diverse array of fish species that thrive in the clear, shallow waters. You will see a variety of colourful reef fish as you move along the reef flat.

Beyond the larger fish, the ecosystem is supported by a rich variety of marine life that defines the local seascape.

The best time to dive is when the sun is high in the sky, providing optimal light for the shallow reefs. Conditions are generally calm, but trips are avoided when the sea is above 5 feet or winds exceed 12 MPH.
