Marathon dive shop charters seem to have the best of everything.
Situated in the middle of paradise, they have some of the top Florida Keys dive sites at their back door.
On the Atlantic side there are the remains of several vessels from the 1733 Spanish Treasure Fleet.
You can also plan a dive on one or more of the modern day wrecks including the popular Thunderbolt, and Adelaide Baker.
In the warm, shallow waters of the Gulf, there are several Marathon wreck dive sites they can take you to, including the Edward Luckenbach and the Gunvor.
Marathon diving charters can also take you out to some of the more popular reef dive sites including Coffins Patch, Sombrero Reef and Delta Shoal.
At any of these Florida Keys dive sites you'll find adjacent wreck or reef sites to explore, making it possible to have several tank dives in one day.
You should inquire with any Marathon dive shop as to what combo dives they typically offer, or if they can accommodate something more 'al la carte'.

When Marathon scuba diving, it's advisable to go with a professional diving charter company.
First, they know the reefs, wrecks and the weather better than you do.
Second, safety is a premium consideration with them.
Third, they can help you maximize your time on the water so you can pack as much as possible into your day of Florida Keys diving.
The following Marathon dive shop directory provides at-a-glance contact information for the different charter companies.
For your convenience, I've first arranged the Marathon diving companies from north to south by region. Then I've arranged the Marathon scuba diving listings alphabetically for faster referencing.
