Daily Dive Trips

Relax and dive into the spectacular undersea world of Miami Beach. Discover crystal clear warm waters, fish of every color of the rainbow and a plethora of wrecks and reefs to choose from.

We offer daily dive and snorkel trips departing from Miami Beach Marina, aboard the dive boat Big Com-Ocean. We visit more than 50 different dive sites that include 38 wrecks and 15 reefs. You have the opportunity to do deep dives, wreck dives and reef dives among others.

Divers on a WreckHighlights include large, deep wrecks, shallow wrecks, historic wrecksites and a natural reef system which extends into the Florida Keys. Many of the wrecks are in protected zones, such as the Key Biscayne Site, where spearfishing is prohibited.That means more big fish are there for you to see! The natural reefs run parallel to the coast and range from 20’- 80’ in depth.

Underwater you can see lobsters, moray eels, goliath groupers, barracudas, tarpoons, stingrays, turtles and even dolphins on the surface.
