Dive Charters

 

 

     So, you want to go diving off of our beautiful Emerald Coast?  Well then you are in for a real treat.  Please come and join us and let our charter boats take you away to our multitude of dive sites while you relax and enjoy the friendly service of our shop and the ship's crew. 

     Once you are on the boat, you will be whisked away to one of our many dive sites.  The Emerald Coast offers a wide variety of underwater scenery including some natural reefs, artificial reefs and some magnificent wrecks.  Our sites include some beautiful coral arrangements, some interesting pilings from the old Destin bridge, a beautiful tugboat gently encased in coral and a local favorite, three M-60 tanks. All of which are usually surrounded by marine life ranging from some very big stingrays to the palm size spotted drum.

     Before each dive, the captain will brief you on the dive you are about to make.  Then our crew will help you into your gear and into the water.  Visibility changes in the Gulf almost as much as the weather.  One day we will enjoy a limited 25 feet of visibility and on others we may be taken aback with over 50 feet of visible eye-candy.  Our water temperatures change with the seasons and the currents but we dive all year round either way.  In the wintertime it can get down to 55 degrees and in the summer time, a warm 82 degrees Fahrenheit, so give us a call to get an idea for what to pack! 

    We here at Diver’s Emporium are sure that you will enjoy sharing your diving adventure with us, as much as we will enjoy letting us serve your diving desires.

They operate year round, offering dive charters to sites off the coast in the beautiful emerald green waters of the Fort Walton Beach/Okaloosa Island/Destin areas.

For your comfort and enjoyment, our boat picks up divers at the Fort Walton Beach Yacht Basin Marina behind the Original Waterfront Crab Shack Restaurant, Fort Walton Beach, FL.
