Choose a morning or afternoon departure and spend four hours exploring two hand-picked snorkel sites, chosen daily based on weather and visibility. You’ll snorkel shallow inner reefs ranging from 3 to 30 feet deep—ideal for spotting colorful marine life in clear, sunlit waters. The trip includes all gear (mask, fins, snorkel, vest), fresh fruit, filtered water, and shaded seating aboard a custom-designed dive boat.

Blue Star Operater
Dive Key West, Inc. was the first dive facility in the Lower Keys to quality as a Blue Star Operator. This designation is awarded to operators who are dedicated to coral reef education and preservation. Bob Holston and Cece Roycraft the owners of Dive Key West have been involved in many initiatives for the preservation of the Florida Keys coral reefs for the past 44 years. They had the honor of being the citizens to go before Congress requesting the Keys be designated a National Marine Sanctuary. As Captain Hook’s Dive Key West, we hope to carry on that tradition as new the owners.

Snorkeling FAQs
Will I see sharks?
You’re in a coral sanctuary, not shark territory but there’s still a chance you’ll see a shark. With that said, we’ve had zero incidents in over two decades.
I’m not a strong swimmer—can I still go?
Absolutely. We’ve got noodles, vests, and crew trained to for emergency situations.
How rough is the water?
It varies every day. Typically, there’s little to no chop, but we always look for the best conditions in the area.
What happens if the weather turns? Is there a Cancellation Policy?
If we cancel due to weather, you get an automatic refund or can reschedule with no penalty. We also offer a free 24 hour cancellation policy.
Do I need a wet suit to snorkel?
Typically, wet suits are only needed in winter but they are available if requested.

Get The Best Snorkeling Experience in Key West FL
Over the years, we’ve seen what frustrates snorkelers most: unclear safety practices, murky water, overcrowded boats, and tours that don’t match the brochure. So we built a different kind of trip—one that’s clear, calm, and personal.
Safety Concerns?
We’ve logged over 20 years of incident-free snorkeling. Our trips stay inside the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary—no deep drop-offs, no unwanted surprises. Non-swimmer? No problem. We provide flotation vests and personal swim-buddy support from our certified crew.
Every Dollar Counts
No hidden fuel charges. No “resort tax” surprises. Just one clear price that covers gear, drinks, and everything needed for a fun safe snorkeling trip.
Want Real Reef Time?
We cap every trip at an approriate number of guests. That means more room to breathe, fewer fins in your face, and no waiting in line to jump in. We choose reefs based on real-time visibility reports. If the water’s cloudy, we switch locations. And yes, you’ll get the full 1 hour of ocean time at each location.
Great Crew or Bust
Our team shows up with good vibes, strong sunscreen, and CPR certifications. You’ll know our names, not just our uniforms.
