With safety in mind, once a spot is reserved we will make all efforts to run the dive trip. Weather and mechanical issues are considerations in our go/no go decision. Should Tanks-A-Lot Dive Charters cancel the trip, there is no cancellation fee assessed.

• In order to scuba dive, one must be at least open water certified from a recognized scuba training agency.
• Dive certification cards will be checked prior to departure so please bring your C-Card.
• People who are not certified to scuba dive may travel with us as “bubble-watchers”

We do not need your physical card for you to dive BUT we must be able to verify that you are a certified diver. A picture is fine, or we will look it up online. However we must be able to find it in your Agency’s data base to allow you to dive. It’s not our fault that you do not have it, but we will try and find it for you.

• Most of the dive sites visited on the normal 2 tank $80 dive trip are between 40 to 60 feet deep.
• The Sheridan and Blackthorn wreck dives are 70-80 feet deep.
• The deeper dives are a further distance and therefore more expensive.

According to a popular dive publication: “Diving in the waters off Clearwater is one of the best kept secrets in Florida.” Pinellas county has one of the most active artificial reef programs in the state. Several wrecks have been sunk within recreational diving limits. Old coast lines from the ice ages formed natural ledges at regular intervals from the current coast.

• Clearwater artificial reefs attract schools of mackeral, eagle rays, goliath grouper, sharks, turtles, dolphins, tropical fishes, hard and soft corals, barracuda, and plenty of small critters.
• You can check out photos and videos from our dives on our photo page.

No, because we a Coast Guard Certified vessel we do not allow spearfishing on our dive trips. To help preserve our delicate environment; spearfishing or the collection of living creatures is prohibited.
