Spearfishing or Lobster Hunting

Lobster Diving and Spearfishing Headquarters
Florida Lobster Season begins in August. We have a fishing license for our boat that allows divers to hunt for lobster and spearfish for game fish. Keep your catch. Book either a whole boat charter or dive on our Sunday Morning Open Lobster & Spearfishing Boat where you can buy individual or multiple seats . Fun, challenging, and fresh seafood. Catch your dinner.

You do not need your own fishing license on our boat. Local and out of state divers welcome. We are the Florida Keys Lobster Diving Headquarters. Visit our Dive Center for a complete selection of lobster gear. Garden Cove Dive Center is an Authorized RIFFE Speargun dealer
