About

At Finz Dive Center, we know how you want to dive. We provide the best possible scuba dive experience in Key West on our six-pack dive boat. With the utmost care to personal service, we always provide a scuba Dive Master in the water with all our guests. You can focus on your adventure rather than the little tasks. Your dive will be limited by safe diving practices, not an arbitrary time to be back on the vessel. You will enjoy the freedom to explore the reefs and wrecks as long as safely possible. What this means for you is a truly personal experience like no other…

We offer all our guests a gear rinse and storage while diving with us. We will Clean, Dry, and Store your personal dive equipment so you don’t have to clean it in the shower at the hotel. If you dive with us multiple days Finz will have your equipment ready on your next trip, so you can focus on the fun.

Robert Trosset III

Owner / Captain / Instructor

Robert Trosset III grew up with the Gulf Flats as his backyard. Whenever he could, he would go off exploring mangrove islands, catching fish and learning his way around the beautiful Florida Keys waters. After graduating from college, he moved back to Key West and started running various boats for other companies. It only took a few years for Robert to realize there was a serious gap for scuba divers wanting a more personal scuba dive experience in Key West. Taking what he learned from the dive industry and from college, Robert was able to bring the small island scuba dive feel to Key West with Finz.
