The Dive Boat

Just minutes from the Haulover Inlet — halfway between South Beach and Fort Lauderdale — The Dive Boat unlocks over 30 wrecks and reefs spanning shallow coral gardens to 135-foot technical dive sites. From turtle-rich reef snorkels to steel-and-rust wreck treks, there's a dive here for every level.

The Dive Boat operates out of Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park (Slip E15), a prime launch point roughly halfway between South Beach and Fort Lauderdale. The location places divers directly onto Florida's Coral Reef — the only barrier reef system in the continental United States — and within easy reach of more than 30 artificial reefs and shipwrecks accessible right from the Haulover Inlet. The charter serves everyone from curious first-timers snorkeling the shallow coral to experienced divers hunting steel in deep water. The wreck roster is exceptional in its range. Multi-ship sites like the C-One Wreck Trek let divers explore four sunken vessels in a single dive. The Andro rests at 110 feet and teams with marine life; the Miss Dania Beach — a former Canadian military vessel — sits at 70 feet and is well-suited to divers building deeper experience. Technical sites push further: the Dantor sits at 130 feet and the Deep Freeze reaches 135 feet, alongside Cruz del Sur, Tenneco Deep, and Lotus, all at technical depths. Shallower highlights include The Army Tanks at 50 feet and The Eternal Reef at 40 feet, where turtles frequent the coral. In addition to regularly scheduled reef and wreck charters and snorkeling trips, The Dive Boat offers exclusive private charters where one group takes the entire vessel — perfect for families, dive clubs, or groups wanting to set their own agenda from beginner snorkel to advanced wreck penetration. The crew is Spanish-speaking, and the operation prides itself on a warm, energetic atmosphere on board.
