NORTH PALM BEACH SCUBA FIELD GUIDE
Drift Along the Gulf Stream: Two-Tank Scuba Runs off Palm Beach Aboard the Kyalami Too
A 4-hour, two-tank open-water dive trip out of Riviera Beach Marina that follows reef tracts in warm, remarkably clear water—this guide explains what to expect on Palm Beach's current-driven dives.
Drift Along the Gulf Stream: Two-Tank Scuba Runs off Palm Beach Aboard the Kyalami Too.
At the heart of Florida’s Treasure Coast, the Palm Beaches sit where the Gulf Stream swings unusually close to shore. From the deck of the Kyalami Too you drop into warm, clear water—visibility routinely ranges from 70 to 100 feet—and let the steady northward current carry you along two offshore reef tracts, a style of diving the region has made its hallmark.

Two-Tank Runs Aboard the Kyalami Too
The trip is run from the Kyalami Too as Two-Tank Open Water Dive Trips out of Riviera Beach Marina, configured to line up on one of the offshore reef tracts and deploy divers in a group for current-led dives.
True Drift Diving Along Reef Tracts
Drift diving is the Palm Beach forte: the boat positions on a reef tract, divers are dropped, and the crew follows while the current carries you along the reef—providing a continuous, current-driven underwater transit.
Warm, Clear Water and Diverse Marine Life
Where the Gulf Stream draws close to shore the result is warm, clear blue water with exceptional visibility and a host of marine creatures—conditions that make Palm Beach diving distinct on the Treasure Coast.
