Steve Thacker used to be a geologist and the man knows his stuff! He'll give a run through of the bones and teeth you will find at the bottom and take you to 2 different locations for big and small sharks teeth, some of which are jewelry-grade and would be lovely on a necklace. There were cold drinks (water and soda) on the boat and cookies were passed around between the 2 dives, though my husband and I would have preferred fresh fruit. Russ was the helper on-board today, great guy who grew up here and going to school in TN right now and working here during the Summer, very helpful and made it easy for us when we were queasy from the boat rocking :). The shop is fully outfitted with gear and equipment and shark's teeth in case you want to buy them and tell friends at home that you scoured the bottom of the ocean for it :). Afterwards make sure to grab a beer and a bite at Fisherman's Wharf.

Staffed by very experienced knowledgeable and helpful people it offers equipment sales, service, rentals and dive trips. I had a great time with them diving and strongly recommend them. It's an especially rare treat to have no rushing going on. As most dives are shallow, 90 min a tank is normal for most divers and their two tank trip gives you 2 x 90 min on the shallow stuff. Where else can you get that? Virtually all dive boats rush divers into less than 45 minutes. I rented gear for shore dives, did a dive boat trip and bought some minor gear. Loved it and will be back.

Captain Jerry was wonderful and my huka instructor, Grace did an amazing job talking me through everything. I felt like a little fish searching the bottom for teeth. I would HIGHLY recommend going on a tour with Keys Huka Dive, the staff were all very knowledgeable. There were also snacks and plenty of drinks on board. We will definitely be back!

There were 6 crew members and they did not make much effort to engage with passengers or provide a nice environment when we already had poor visibility in the water. Standing around on their phones and eating the snacks instead of doing any extra service did not seem professional. We did not get much time to be searching for teach before getting back the boat. We were not told why we had to go back to the boat early and then the ride back took an hour at a slow pace. I felt like we just paid a lot of money for a ride to get to the beach area. It just felt like no effort was put into our experience at all.

From the moment we stepped aboard, the experience felt effortless and personalized. Captain Jenn guided us smoothly from Venice out into the Gulf and down toward Stump Pass, where we enjoyed relaxed beach time and some incredible shelling on Peterson Island. It felt like our own private slice of paradise. After a quick and easy shore lunch, we cruised up Lemon Bay and through the Intracoastal back to Venice, taking in beautiful views the entire way. What truly made the day special, though, was Jenn herself--she connected with every member of our family, kept the energy light and fun, and captured so many great photos that we'll treasure for years. It's rare to find an experience that feels both professionally run and genuinely personal. This was one of those days you wish you could bottle up and repeat. Highly recommend--this is a must-do if you're in the Venice area and want a perfect day on the water.
