Sponge Diving Demonstration Tour
A one-hour narrated cruise aboard a traditional Greek sponge boat, departing the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks. Crew from sponge-diving families explains the history, ecology, and technique of Florida sponge harvesting.
- Narrated by captains and crew from multi-generation Greek sponge-diving families — the same tradition that built Tarpon Springs.
- Live diver demonstrations when conditions allow. When no dive is scheduled, crew walks the group through the full process hands-on.
- Guests handle real sponges from the water and learn to tell commercial varieties apart.
- Group accommodations — the boat has carried groups of 50+ comfortably. Pre-booking recommended for groups.
- Accessible and sensory-friendly: no loud music, calm pace, crew adapts to your group's needs.
