- Charters are available 7 days a week throughout the year. We recommend that you call ahead to check availability!
- We typically need a minimum of 8 divers to run an Oriskany trip or 6 for an inshore trip, however, We are always wiling to discuss options.
- During the summer months, Inshore trips often fill up to 2 weeks or more in advance, and Oriskany trips often book months ahead. We recommend reserving your seats as far in advance as possible.
- On inshore trips, specific dive sites are usually selected by the Captain on the day of the trip based on dive conditions, diver requests, and diver experience.
- It is customary to tip the crew of any charter boat anywhere you dive. The crew works hard to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable trip.
- We are fully licensed and insured. The H2O Below is inspected regularly according to Coast Guard requirements and carries a 100 mile certificate.
