Dive Trips from Rum Runner

Let Rum Runner take you to new and exciting new dive destinations or revisit your old favorites. We like variety so we plan to go in many directions. Whether you prefer warm sunny Caribbean beaches, gin clear waters of the Florida springs or exploring a new wreck. Local, regional or distant, we've got something for everyone.

Local & Regional Diving

The "Graveyard of the Atlantic" - Arguably one of the top ten dive locations in the world. Every manner of wreck is available, even German U-boats, most within reach of the recreational diver, some as yet uncharted. Plus with the convergence of the north Atlantic current with the Gulf Stream there is a wide variety of marine life and diving conditions. All within a 90 minute drive from the shop to the dock. Any local diver who doesn't take advantage of this diversity is missing out on a great dive opportunity. We regularly setup weekend one day and two day charters, call the shop for the latest schedule and availability.

Interesting diving is available in South Carolina, Georgia and, of course Florida. If you like to find artifacts and fossils come dive the Cooper River. Reduced visibility diving isn't for everyone, but pulling up a 6" megalodon tooth that is millions of years old or colonial, civil war and native American artifacts can make your day - check out www.divethecooper.com.

In the cooler months we head to Florida to dive the crystal clear springs or dive with Manatees. We are planning a March excursion to dive the Speigel Grove as well as other well known wrecks in the Keys and then off to Pensacola to dive the newly sunk aircraft carrier the Oriskany.

Dive Disney!

The Disney's Dive Quest at Epcot. Let us schedule your visit. We've done this dive and it was a great time. This is a NAUI sponsored program open to all certified divers.

Caribbean Diving

In the past we have enjoyed trips to such locations as Cozumel, Cayman Brac, Little Cayman, Curacao and Bonaire. In 2006 we traveled to Dominica (details), in 2007 it was the Riviera Maya and Bonaire.2008 was Belize. 2009 was not a great year for dive travel with the economy having everyone concerned and the Hurricane crushing Cayman Brac (our planned destination). 2010 has got to be better year.

Pacific and Far East Diving

Live Aboards

If you are a hard-core diver and want the ultimate dive experience maximizing your dive time on vacation you should try a liveaboard. We are working with two groups currently, Blackbeard's Cruises out of the Bahamas and the Aggressor Fleet serving Belize, Cayman Islands, Cocos Island, Fiji, Galapagos, Kona, North Sulawesi, Palau, Tahiti, Turks & Caicos, and Utila. We can help you with your reservation or you can contact these groups directly. Be sure to tell them Rum Runner sent you.
