About Us

Our History

Captain Joyce learned to scuba dive in 1987 while working at the Land O’ Lakes Scuba Center and worked her way up to becoming a Divemaster and an Instructor.

Along the way, the years of crewing gave her the incentive to get her Captain’s License and owning her first boat.

She later founded Narcosis Scuba Center on June 15th, 1996 and began her own Charter Boat Service. She researched for months beforehand to find a special boat and a store name that no one else had.

Narcosis Scuba Center is also named after Joyce’s first boat, The Narcosis.
