Tilden's Scuba Center
Tilden's Scuba Center is a full-service dive facility on the Overseas Highway in Marathon, guiding everyone from first-timers to seasoned divers through the reefs and wrecks of the Middle Keys. Daily reef trips leave at 8am and 1pm aboard the Miss Jackie, a Newton 46 dive boat, with access to some 30 reef and wreck sites including a 188-foot wreck resting in 120 feet of water. As a Blue Star operator, the shop runs its trips with an eye toward protecting the reef, and offers SNUBA for ages 8 and up, snorkeling, and PADI, SSI, and NAUI training. Back on land you will find a full gear shop with rentals, repairs, air fills, and Nitrox to keep you diving all week.
