Get the R/V Explorer
Back on the Water

We're lucky to have a dive charter of the quality of Nautical Divers here in Jacksonville to take us to the amazing dive sites we have to offer; however, the research vessel Explorer has recently experienced some expensive repairs, and due to weather, Nautical has only run one charter trip in 2026.

We need your support in the short term and the long term.

If you value having a dive charter in our community, please consider two things:

1. A donation of any size to support the maintenance fund to get the R/V Explorer up and running again to help in the short term.
2. To book a trip with Nautical Divers this summer, this fall, and next year — and invite your friends and family and encourage people to dive with Will. That will sustain Nautical Divers for the long term.
