jellyfish

Crustys is full of life. Schools of bluegill and sunfish drift through the shallows, largemouth bass patrol the structure, and painted turtles cruise the surface. In late summer, keep an eye out for our freshwater jellyfish - a rare treat most divers never get to see.

06 — Rent a divemaster

Want a guide?
We've got one.

Our staff can set you up with a PADI-certified Divemaster who knows Crustys inside and out. They'll help with assembling gear, understanding diving concepts, spotting our underwater creatures, or guiding you to the most popular attractions - tailored to you or your whole group.

You pay the Divemaster directly, not Crustys. We suggest a minimum $20 tip, but the amount is up to you. Please contact us in advance so we can schedule a Divemaster for your visit.
