Glenn was a tall South African working in the golf course industry in Asia. Jill was on an overseas public affairs assignment for her American company and wearing very tall shoes.
She was always interested in learning to play golf. Maybe he could help?? Too hot and expensive, he said.
He actually preferred scuba diving and spent all his weekends as a divemaster on a liveaboard boat.
What a coincidence!! She was always interested in learning to scuba dive! Maybe he could help?
He could. He did.
And we spent the next 10 years logging hundreds of dives together as buddies.
Eventually our overseas careers finished and we left southeast Asia for the equally warm and humid shores of south Florida.
Glenn started working with local dive shops and scuba boats, and we toyed with the idea of buying into one of these great operations.
But none of the existing businesses quite fit our vibe.
For years we dived around the world with some of the best live-aboard and day charter operators around. And here's what makes us feel most at ease on a boat:
And we used all this to create our business.
In 2018 we launched Lucky Fish Scuba in Key Largo — fun and comfortable private diving and snorkeling charters to explore the magical marine environments of the Florida Keys.
We are long-term supporters of the Project AWARE Foundation and the Divers Alert Network (DAN), which plays a vital role in the safety of recreational scuba diving. We are also members of the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) and the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce.
We are committed to providing a comfortable, safe, and fun atmosphere for exploring the beautiful and exciting marine environments in the Florida Keys. Come dive with us!

– Theresa N.Oh my gosh! What a perfect day for a very very special occasion…a surprise, underwater proposal. They showed us a beautiful, private dive spot and made sure that the proposal went off without a hitch. The videos are perfect. Jill, Glen, and Stephanie, thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
– Em S.What an awesome time!!!! Every year for my birthday, I look for different things to do with my friends. This year, it was a sunset cruise, which far surpasses a dinner at yet another restaurant. … A plus is their actual head (toilet) aboard. Their cat is a perfect size for 6 passengers. It is well appointed, spotless and very stable. Highest praise for Jill, Glenn and Suzy!
– VijaiOMG. To be honest I booked this charter because the boat had a full functional bathroom. Luckily, I never needed it. … The boat was beautiful and immaculate. The little detail that was actually quite useful and made us all very comfortable was the fresh water shower after each dive. We got back to the dock feeling refreshed and not sticky and gross. Jill was responsive in following up with my initial inquiry and follow up confirmations etc. the dive sites were quite impressive. Overall an amazing experience and won’t be our last.
– Lance HLucky Fish Scuba is a top notch diving operation, very professional, and so much fun! Glenn & Jill made had everything prepared and ready when we arrived. Once we arrived at the dive spot, they were very helpful explaining where we would go, what we would see, and then proceeded to guide us through the dive. Since this was our first time diving in Key Largo, having a dive master guide us was very comforting. In between dives, they provided drinks and snacks. The boat is perfect for small groups and very comfy and it has a head if needed. In addition, Jill provided us with a short video of our dive a few days later. We loved it! This biz is a gem amongst all other dive operations in the Keys. You will not be disappointed booking here. We can’t wait to go back!
– Jose B.Lucky Fish Scuba is where you need to go in Key Largo! Both Glenn and Jill are extremely professional, courteous, and fun.
