The History of RJ Diving Ventures
RJ Diving Ventures was founded in 1982 by Robert J. Arnove (RJ). His first boat was a 28-foot Allman 6-passenger vessel called Prima Donna II. This vessel was operated from the Miami Marine Stadium on Key Biscayne. As demand increased, RJ replaced it with a larger vessel in 1984 and moved to Miami Beach Marina which had just opened with two piers completed, and old building serving as offices and dirt parking lots. The Starfish Enterprise was a 34-foot crusader licensed to accommodate 18 passengers. As the heyday of SCUBA diving in Miami continued to escalate, RJ sold Starfish Enterprise and commissioned the building of a 40-foot Burpee dive boat. This specially designed commercial dive vessel carried a USCG license for 30 divers and was christened Starfish Enterprise II. In 1989, RJ commissioned his second 40 foot Burpee and named it Warp Factor I.

Diving was busy enough in Miami to not only accommodate two dive boats for RJ Diving Ventures but several other operators as well until around 1992 when Hurricane Andrew changed so many lives. The wrecks were turned into real wrecks and the reefs were covered in silt. The reefs began to come back to life the next year but the diving industry did not. In 1999, RJ Diving sold Starfish Enterprise II. RJ was then the only dive operator in the South Beach vicinity, still operating Warp Factor I from Miami Beach Marina.

RJ replaced Warp Factor I with a brand new 46-foot Newton in May 2004: Big Com-Ocean. She is the newest, largest, and fastest dive boat in South Florida, fully licensed and inspected by the USCG
