Marathon Reef Dive Trip
Let's Dive!! Join Captain Hook’s and our experienced dive team for a morning or afternoon dive in the “Best Kept Secret In the Florida Keys for Diving.” The range of diving available to our divers is limitless, with a number of great sites with variable depths to match your level of diving experience. Patch and barrier reefs are plentiful with marine life, ledges and hidden wonders to see on each diving trip. We dive at two locations on each trip for one hour each . The dive locations are selected the day of the dive based on weather, wind conditions and visibility.
At Capt. Hooks, we provide a complimentary divemaster with each dive trip. They know the reef and the local marine residents, and they can point out the highlights on our dives. Having a divemaster in the water has helped many of our divers that have not been diving in a while to reach a higher comfort level by knowing there is someone nearby who can help. The divemaster is only there if you want to use them as a guide, it is your choice, and many of our divers explore on their own with their dive buddy.
If your group has a mix of snorkelers and divers, we can accommodate everyone on one boat. We have two dive boats that are especially designed for diving. Having two boats allows us to meet most customer requests and to keep families together, even if some are diving and some are snorkeling.
