Florida Sea Base

Those going on our Florida Sea Base trip in 2026 will be the Scuba Adventure (click here for the Participant Guide). Your home for a week will be an air conditioned dormatory, and you will be scuba diving some of the most beautiful reefs in the area as well as part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The Florida Keys are home to the only coral barrier reef in North America. If you are a certified diver, this program is for you. From Florida Sea Base's fleet of custom built Newton Dive Specials you will explore coral reefs, discover wrecks, underwater rock formations, and scuba dive. During this adventure (weather permitting) you will make as many as 11 dives, including a night dive. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to take part in evening Dive Against Debris by Goal: Clean Seas, Reef Fish identification and Shark Awareness courses, and conduct REEF Environmental Education fish surveys.
