Shore dives at the jetty run most weekends, 30 to 45 feet, visibility ten to twenty-five feet depending on the week. Open Water certified is enough. Free to join if you bring your own gear; $30 covers a guide and a cylinder if you need one.
Boat dives run Saturdays to the outer reef, two tanks, 40 to 80 feet. Advanced Open Water or an equivalent logged depth is required, and the boat caps at ten divers so the crew can actually account for everyone at the surface. $120 per diver, cylinder and weights included.
Once a year we run a nine-day trip to a reef system abroad chosen for warm water and long visibility - this year it is the second week of October, $2,400 per diver double occupancy, air travel not included. Full rental sets are available for travelers who would rather not check a gear bag: regulator, BCD, wetsuit and computer for $65 a day, cylinders provided at the destination. Buy the mask and the computer first if you are going to keep diving - fit and familiarity matter on both, and neither costs much to own. Keep renting the regulator, BCD and exposure suit until you are diving more than a few times a year; servicing and storage on those add up faster than a rental line ever will.
