About Ace Diving Miami

Ace Diving Miami is Downtown Miami's premier scuba diving and water adventure hub, operating from Pier 5 at Bayside Marketplace on Biscayne Bay. As the only local dive center authorized by PADI, SSI, SDI, TDI, and ERDI, Ace Diving offers the widest range of certifications in South Florida — from Discover Scuba and Open Water to Divemaster, Technical Diving, and elite Public Safety Diver training.

Daily dive and snorkeling trips depart aboard the E-ZEN-TIAL, a USCG-inspected 2020 Newton 46-foot dive vessel, heading to natural coral reefs, sunken wrecks, and Biscayne National Park. Night dives, DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) adventures, hunting trips for lobster and lionfish, and private group charters round out the offerings.

Equipment rentals, Emergency First Response training, and a monthly membership club make this a true one-stop dive operation. Rated exceptionally well across more than 1,400 guest reviews, Ace Diving is a Latino-owned, LGBTQ+-friendly business beloved by beginners and seasoned divers alike.
