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: Dive Clearwater posseses a Charterboat/Headboat federal fishing permit. These regulations are different and much more restrictive than recreational(FWC) in most cases.

Reef and Wreck Diving: The Plunger 7 visits wonderful reefs starting from 4 miles up to 20 miles off shore. You can see our beautiful reefs covered in all kinds of hard and soft corals in vibrant colors all teeming with life. We also have a wonderful artificla reef program in Pinellas Country Florida as part of our Wreck diving which includes "The Sheridan" and many other sites.
