Grove Scuba, and most of the other dive operators in Miami, use a charter vessel for the trips. This means that we share spaces on the boat with customers from other shops as well. The Miami Beach Marina is where our charter boat leaves from. If you are taking a trip with us, you are responsible for checking-in at the marina half an hour prior to check-in. Please be mindful of local traffic conditions.
- Our address is 2809 SW 27th Ave. Coconut Grove FL 33133
- The marina address is 300 Alton Rd. Miami Beach FL 33139

The private guide fee is $150 per day for up to two dive
