Private 2-Tank Shark Dive: A 4.5‑Hour Advanced Charter off Riviera Beach.
On a private 4.5-hour charter out of Riviera Beach you and up to five companions slip beneath blue water for two shark dives that push beyond 60 feet. These are advanced dives: you must bring your own scuba kit and certification (including nitrox where applicable) and be prepared to explore deeper reef and open-ocean habitat amid active marine life.
