Deep Wreck Diving Trips

Join us for full-day offshore wreck diving adventures out of Destin, Florida. These are approximately 8-hour trips designed for experienced divers looking to explore some of the best deep artificial reefs in the Gulf.

⚠️ Advanced Open Water certification (or equivalent) is required for this trip due to depth and offshore conditions.

We run these trips on a monthly basis, making each one a limited and highly anticipated offshore dive opportunity.

We choose wrecks based on conditions that day to ensure the safest and best possible experience.

Trip Overview

These are full-day offshore dives with longer travel times and variable Gulf conditions. We do not lock into fixed sites—wreck selection depends on weather, visibility, and current conditions for the safest and best dive experience.

Pricing

  • Spot on the boat: $200

  • Air tanks: $16 each

  • Nitrox tanks: $22 each

  • Full gear + air: $85

  • Full gear + Nitrox: $95

Divemaster Experience (Recommended)

We highly recommend hiring one of our local divemasters ($45 per person). These are small-group guided dives (4–5:1 ratio), and your divemaster stays with you from boarding through both dives to help with safety, navigation, and maximizing your experience on complex deep wrecks.

Enriched Air (Nitrox)

We recommend Enriched Air (Nitrox) for deeper wreck profiles to extend bottom time and reduce nitrogen loading between dives. If you’re not certified, you can still do a “Try Nitrox” option with one of our instructors/divemasters for an additional $25, with full briefing provided before the dive.
