WHO WE ARE!
Florida Dive Company operates in two distinct ways:
As a Professional SDI Instructor Training & Career Development Center based in central Florida, where we train divers from beginner through Instructor Trainer level.
And as the exclusive guided snorkel and scuba tour operator inside Blue Spring State Park, providing eco-focused adventure experiences for visitors and certified divers.
Blue Spring State Park Entry Update!
All Florida Dive Company tours include guaranteed entry to Blue Spring State Park. The park's day-use reservation program is now in effect for general visitors, but you do NOT need a separate reservation when you're booked on one of our tours.
Blue Spring State Park | Dive Tours
Florida Dive Company is the exclusive, park-approved guided snorkel and scuba tour operator inside Blue Spring State Park.
While most visitors admire the spring from above, our guests enjoy exploring crystal-clear visibility, limestone formations, and one of Florida’s most iconic freshwater systems.
As the official guided operator, all of our tours include guaranteed park entry with reservation and professionally led small-group experiences.
Daily capacity is limited.
Manatees are seen in the Blue Spring run throughout the year. However, wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
Important Reminder: It is illegal to approach, pursue, or touch manatees. Every encounter we share happens only because the animal chooses it. At Florida Dive Company, we follow all conservation guidelines to ensure these incredible creatures stay safe, protected and wild.

Our approach emphasizes individual progress, professional standards, and the confidence that comes from truly understanding your skills in the water.
