Blue Water Explorers Tours

Grab your fins and face mask and dive beneath the waters at Blue Water Explorers. It'll be a day of splashing around with a difference.

Situated in Cortez, this underwater attraction is worth a visit. But you'll find plenty more to discover in this area. IMG Academy, Coquina Beach, and Anna Maria Beach are within close reach of Blue Water Explorers.
