ABOUT OUR CAPTAIN
Scuba Ethan got his nick name from all of his local buddies he grew up with. He was diving or spearfishing every day he could if he was not fishing with his buddies. Captain Ethan is a native born and raised here for over 33 years! Fishing & scuba diving has always been his passion! Captain Ethan really enjoys the variety of fishing & diving Florida has to offer. From the Florida keys all the way to Crystal River on the west coast of Florida captain Ethan has dove and fished in these areas. He uses a variety of techniques throughout the year while targeting the wide range of fish species we have to offer on the west coast of Florida. He mostly uses live bait with clients but there are times he likes to use cut bait and artificial lures. Fishing is a science and you must approach each targeted fish with the proper techniques to achieve the best results. Over the past 30+ years of fishing Ethan has learned a lot of secret locations in our local waterways and he is excited to show you a great time on the water catching fish like a true local.

Our adventure to Egmont Key was one of my family's favorite parts of vacation. Captain Ethan was personable, professional, and knowledgable about the area, and the price was very reasonable. He was also flexible and accommodated my family's diverse interests: some were able to explore the island while others snorkeled. My family and I are already planning a deep sea fishing trip with him for our next visit to the area.
Thanks, Captain Ethan!

Went out with the family for a two hour afternoon sightseeing tour with Captain Ethan. Was an excellent experience all around. Boat was in impeccable condition and he was very safety and comfort conscious, which was our utmost concern having a 7 month old on the trip. He was able to find a pod of dolphins for us to watch for several minutes, which was great fun. Highly recommend his operation for sightseeing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, etc... and look forward to going out with him again when we return to AMI.

Ethan took 6 of us out for some near shore fishing. We hauled in lots of snook and trout and had a great time. Ethan was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We all commented that this was the best fishing trip that we have gone on.
Thanks Ethan it was great!
