DS Diving Service
Jacksonville, Florida
Location & Overview Doctors Lake Marina is a full-service marina in Fleming Island, Florida, just south of Jacksonville, accessible by water from the St. Johns River through Doctors Inlet. A Florida Certified Clean Marina and Clean Boatyard, the marina offers covered and uncovered wet slips, dry storage for boats on trailers, and a full slate of on-site services year-round, with all slips available on a first come, first served basis.
Dockage & Dry Storage Wet slips at Doctors Lake Marina come in both covered and uncovered configurations, accommodating everything from small runabouts at 17 feet up to vessels of 70 feet. Dry storage handles boats on trailers with unlimited ins and outs, supported by an on-site boat ramp. Boaters have access to ValvTect treated diesel and gas, a pump-out station, indoor laundry, private showers, a ship store, and Wi-Fi throughout. For boats that stay in the water season after season, DS Diving's underwater hull cleaning clears growth from the hull, running gear, and through-hull points, keeping vessels running efficiently between haul-outs.
Life on Doctors Lake Doctors Lake is one of the most active recreational waterways in Clay County, drawing swimmers, kayakers, canoers, water-skiers, and anglers chasing largemouth bass, bluegill, and speckled trout. With that much activity on the water, things go overboard — phones, keys, rings, tackle, tools, and occasionally something much larger. DS Diving's search and recovery divers handle exactly that, from small item recovery to lost vessel, cargo, and equipment recovery, calculating search zones rather than guessing and filming each search with mounted cameras so owners can see the recovery firsthand.
Boat Sales, Rentals & Service The marina property also hosts third-party businesses that give visitors a way onto the water whether or not they own a boat. Boat Florida Rentals offers a fleet of pontoons, tritoons, and deck boats suited to cruising, tubing, or fishing, while Bluewater Marine handles new and used boat inventory, parts, and factory-authorized sales and service on site, alongside the marina's own marine mechanic. Buyers evaluating a used vessel here can bring in DS Diving for a pre-purchase inspection, with a diver assessing hull condition, bottom paint, and running gear below the waterline and providing full video of the inspection before any money changes hands.
