Run To Clear Water

Your captain reads the day’s conditions and picks the clearest, calmest site on the route.

03

In You Go

Guided water time over reefs, grass flats, and swim-throughs — at your group’s pace and comfort level.

04

Divers Go Deeper

Certified scuba divers (card required, bring your own kit) can work the deeper structure while snorkelers play the shallows.

Before You Book

Good Questions

Do I need experience or certification?
Not for snorkeling — gear is provided and your guide covers everything before you get wet. Scuba portions require a valid certification card (PADI, NAUI or equivalent) and your own dive gear.
How much does it cost?
$250 per person for groups of 1–4, $200 per person for groups of 5–6. Gear included for snorkelers. Book at aowefl.com/booking.
What will we actually see?
Natural reef and rock structure, sponges, tropical fish, rays, and — on good days — sea turtles. Tarpon Springs’ nearshore reefs are the standout for clarity and life.
When is the best time to go?
Late spring through summer is peak — warmest water and steadiest visibility. Winter trips run on calm days, or switch to a manatee eco tour for the season.
When should I book?
Cruises run by reservation, 7 days a week. Weekends and sunset slots fill first — book a few days ahead, or call/text 352-587-3422 for same-day availability.
