Trip Description
 Join Reef Ministries as we dive for fossil shark teeth and the impressive Megalodon teeth! This exclusive charter takes us to rare fossil grounds off the shores of Venice Beach, Florida. Venice Beach has been a hot spot for finding various shark's teeth on the beach and in the shallow surf zone. However, we are embarking on an off-shore charter with a diving company that specializes in collecting the highly prized Megalodon shark teeth. This two-tank charter trip allows you plenty of bottom time in the shallow 28 foot depths to sift through the sand collecting sharks teeth, sting ray barbs, manatee ribs, whale teeth and bones just to name a few.

 Trip Description
Scuba divers delight as we explore God's underwater world on the beautiful reefs and wrecks of Fort Lauderdale.
Your scuba dive trip starts with a devotional relating to creationism and environmental stewardship. You will also learn of God’s creation with an introduction to the coral reef ecology and fish identification of the reefs off shore. Most of our reefs and wrecks are within a half mile from shore, and they range in depth from 30' to 120' deep. For your Reef Ministries Scuba Adventure you will have a two-tank dive; usually a wreck dive followed by a shallow reef dive. The trip price includes tanks and weights, however if you need rental equipment our friends at Pro Dive can issue that to you right at the shop before you get on the boat.

Scuba Instruction
One of the greatest ways to experience God's underwater world is by scuba diving! Scuba is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus and with scuba equipment you can experience extended time underwater seeing the reefs and fish close-up in a weightless and wonderful experience. Breathing underwater and floating weightlessly underwater makes scuba diving so much fun. Once you go through your Reef Ministries scuba lessons you will become a PADI Open Water Diver. With that certification you can scuba dive with a dive buddy to the depth of 60 feet. Scuba diving is also a great family activity. A PADI Junior Open Water Diver (ages 10 to 14) can dive with a parent or certified Instructor to a maximum depth of 40 feet.
