About This Experience
SNUBA is the listing’s ‘go beyond snorkeling’ option: the closest you can get to scuba diving without being dive certified. You breathe underwater without heavy, cumbersome dive gear and stay down for greater durations than a snorkeler. Departures are listed at 08:30 and 13:00, and the trip runs about 3.5 hours from slip #7 off N. Roosevelt Blvd.
Professional instruction comes first, and all equipment, including the SCUBA gear, is supplied. The listing says you can discover coral formations, schools of tropical fish and colorful creatures. It names no site, and no depth is given.
It suits adventurous beginners who want to see more than the surface. Prices start from $160 per person (checked November 2026), but that is not the whole cost: the listing excludes fuel and fees, which are paid directly to Key West SNUBA. Souvenir photos are sold separately. A medical liability waiver is required for every guest, and medical exclusions apply.
Honest caveats: this trip is all sales final, so there is no free cancellation. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy or poor cardiovascular health. Marine life and visibility are not guaranteed.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.8/5 by 517 verified Viator travelers.
One of the coolest things we do in Key West. If you are interested in scuba but aren’t certified this is a great way to go. This is our second year in a row doing this. My kids (13 years and 16 years) loved it. Easy for them to learn. The crew is awesome and they take the time for you to feel comfortable before going u

An absolute blast! Loved being able to swim down and look around! The crew were great; walking us thru what we needed to know and making sure the gear fit well. And getting to snorkel around after the snuba was a great time! Would definitely do again!

What an amazing experience! So much more than snorkeling. Grant, Tor, Eric and Jason were knowledgeable and helpful. The views are nothing you can get above water. Highly recommend!
