Dive Charters

We offer dive charter trips throughout the year for individuals or groups of any size. 

   

-  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.

     

- All divers must present a valid C-Card to board and may be asked to show a logbook with applicable experience.

- We do not provide rental equipment, tanks or weights.  If you need to rent these items we recommend using MBT Divers

 

Private professional dive master services are available for any dive trip for an additional charge.

MAKE YOUR DIVE TRIP MORE ENJOYABLE

-Complete an equipment checklist prior to leaving home.  Most commonly missed items include mask, booties, weights, and gloves.

- Make sure all of you equipment is in proper working order prior to leaving for the dock.   Assemble all of your equipment and check: Regulators, O-Rings, mouthpieces, computer batteries, BC Inflators and dump valves.  This goes for rental equipment too!

- Make sure you have appropriate C- Cards, tables, dive logs, dive plan, etc. 

-  Bring plenty to drink and stay well hydrated - no alcohol please!  Dehydration is one of the most common factors in DCS and sea sickness.

- Bring warm dry clothes to change into.  Even in the summer, it is possible to become chilled while out on the water after a dive.

- BRING AND USE SUNSCREEN!
