Description: Coastal Scuba brings together many years of experience from its captains, instructors, and dive masters to make your diving experience the very best it can be. Every diver—from the newly certified to the seasoned veteran—will find a dive charter through Coastal Scuba; there are more than a half dozen to choose from, and they range in price from $75 to $125. A variety of classes—from minicourses to accelerated “executive-style” classes to full PADI certification and advanced instruction—are also offered.The Safari IV, Coastal Scuba’s dive vessel, is a 45-foot customized dive boat sleek enough to get to dive sites quickly and sturdy enough to offer stability against an occasionally unpredictable Atlantic. The boat is spacious and comfortable, complete with a full-size head (bathroom), two ice coolers for snacks, and a professional crew. She carries all Coast Guard–required equipment, including a first-aid kit and oxygen.Demand for diving is high, especially during the summer and on weekends, so please book early.
