Dive With Us
Steer out to the Gulf of Mexico and dive into an underwater adventure!
Join us on our shark tooth dive charter for a personalized exploration with fossil expert, Ben Schultz! You’ll meet at Venice Fisherman’s Wharf, Slip #3, 509 North Tamiami Trl, 34285 at 7:00 a.m. and depart for your adventure promptly at 7:15 a.m. You’ll travel to various spots between Venice and Manasota on a four-hour adventure 2-tank dive. Ben will discuss each site with you and give you direction on the best way to find megs and other fossils for both sites. This is not a guided dive, but a dedicated DM is available for a small fee.



Charter reservations must have a minimum of four people to go out and the boat can host up to six explorers. Charter participants who will be diving must show proof of minimum open water scuba certification prior to boarding and have a completed waiver (see Forms tab). Not certified? We can help with that! Contact us about our open water certification courses or other certification courses. A dedicated Dive Master is available for a small extra fee. He/she will be with you the entire trip. This must be reserved at time of booking. Bubble watchers are welcome to join the ride and watch from the deck for a reduced fee. Boat supplies tanks only. Divers must bring all of their own gear, including their own weights. Rental gear is available through Venice Dive Center for an additional charge. All rental gear needs to be paid for and picked up at the store the day prior to the dive and returned to the store upon completion of dive. Boat has a hot water wash down which is nice in the winter months.
No GPS devices, personal tanks, alcohol or smoking allowed on boat. You must cancel 48 hours in advance of your charter date to receive a refund. No exceptions. We will give you as much advanced notice as possible if weather conditions force us to cancel. We are not responsible for your other expenses should we need to cancel the charter for any reason.
