About Diver's Paradise Miami | Scuba Diving & Snorkeling

Diver's Paradise is a PADI 5-Star dive center on the waterfront at Crandon Park Marina in Key Biscayne, guiding scuba and snorkel trips since 1979. Daily boat trips head to Biscayne National Park, Neptune Memorial Reef, Emerald Reef and deep wrecks such as the Princess Britany and Ultra Freeze, which are reserved for Advanced divers.

Hybrid trips keep divers and snorkelers together on the same boat. Beginners can try a Discover Scuba session with no certification needed, and the course catalog runs from Open Water and Refresher through Rescue Diver, Nitrox, Wreck, Night and Deep specialties, plus technical diving.

The facility has a private training pool, showers, free parking and two custom dive boats with bathrooms, water, oranges and sodas on board. Private charters, group tours, reef cleanups and rental gear are also available.

Guests consistently praise the patient instructors, the organized boat operation and the quality of the dive sites.
