Welcome To Dive Clearwater

The Plunger VII was built just for SCUBA diving by Canaveral Custom Boats. She is 30 feet overall with a wide beam for stability. Down below in the Vee berth there is ample dry storage and a full size head (bathroom). The back deck has a fresh water shower for after-dive rinsing. The Plunger VII also carries an iced cooler for your food and drinks, a water cooler and cups, and a separate cooler for fish for the spearfisherman. Although she was originally build for 12 passengers, we only take up to 6 passengers and crew. All the latest electronics and safety gear, including oxygen, are onboard. When the Plunger VII was purchased, she only had a 240 hp motor. When it came time to replace the motor, Dive Clearwater decided to pack a 350 hp turbocharged diesel under the hatch! Not only can we get you to the dive site quickly and in comfort, we can spend more time doing what we do best ... have time to enjoy the water.

The Gulf of Mexico offers some fantastic and diverse dive sites. Colorful reefs, fantastic wrecks, and abundant marine life are the earmark of Gulf diving. Most of the dive sites that we visit are located within an hour or two of the Clearwater Municipal Marina. During the brief travel times you can catch some rays on our sundeck or swap stories with the other divers. Some of our more popular dive sites are listed in the navigation menu to the left. Click on a site to see a more detailed description of the site and, soon, some photographs.

Spearfishing: The Plunger VII welcomes spearfishing. Dive Clearwater offers both inshore and offshore spearfishing trips. Dive Clearwater is federally licensed to possess reef and pelagic species. We do require that you have at least 1 year experience with a speargun and follow all rules and regulations ... NO EXCEPTIONS!

Wreck diving: "The Sheridan" is a tug that was sunk off the coast of Clearwater as part of Florida's Artifical Reef Program. The Sheridan was not blown apart to be sunk, instead it was sunk by opening tru-hull fittings and allowing the water to flow in. This non-destructive method of sinking the boat has kept this wreck in beautiful diving condition.
