This is a solid owner operated dive shop. When I was there the husband captained the dive boat. He went to extra mile to try to find a spot protected from current. When I decided to dive another day the wife helped me find a hotel nearby Facilities were first rate.
Great dive center with an amazing, professional, fun staff. Captain Carson is one of the most interactive, fun captains I have even been diving with. SCUBA joe is helpful, informative, and enthusiastic about his work. Overall, high class dive center that I highly recommend.
I really enjoy diving with these guys. They go the extra mile to make sure you have a good time and get the experience you were expecting.
My 70 old father and I went on a 4-hr morning Snorkel/Dive trip. The trip included 4 snorkeler's and around 10 divers. We got to the first site and the divers all jumped in. I asked the mate about where to get the coast guard required snorkel vests, and was informed that we should have gotten them at the dive shop before leaving. She checked the boat and informed me we were "lucky" they had 2 spares on board - one of which did not hold air. What is truly lucky is that I had gone out the previous day with another company and knew the vests were required and how to put them on.
My father tired easily and we were back at the boat long before any divers were surfacing. The mate met us at the back of the boat to grab our fins as we got out of the water. The water was pretty choppy and my father was having a hard time getting his fins off in the water. He kept floating back too close to the bouncing ladder which had me concerned. As he took on a lot of water and couldn't seem to put distance between himself and the boat ladder I honestly started to panic. I yelled to the mate that I needed something to float. It was only on the 3rd time I made that request, that I was told to just grab the rope - the rope I was already holding. My father and I continued to struggle as the mate stood and watched from the end of the boat, but we eventually were able to get ourselves back on the boat.
When we got to the second site, my father stayed on the boat while I went out. He ended up getting sea sick and spending the hour leaning over the side of the boat. What is disappointing is the mate never once checked on him. It was another sick snorkeler on board that checked on him and brought him some water.
I had originally thought the lack of concern/customer service was just because we were snorkelers and the company is more dive focused. Before we left the second dive site, the captain called off names of all the passengers to make sure everyone was on board. At the end he jokingly said "Is there anyone on board that I didn't call your name?". An older woman said yes, and the captain confirmed her name was on the list. His response to her "Someone else must have said 'here' for you." I really hope that they also do a head count, because I would hate to be a late returning diver to a boat that left without me.
What a GREAT dive center! No complaints here. Thank u tracy,zack and to the captains. Try the night dive if you can! U won't regret it unless you don't go.
Just finished my first ever dive with Mikey here at the dive center. Friendly, professional and went out of his way to keep us entertained. Some of us in the group were concerned about doing this and he supported us through the whole experience.
We saw sharks, turtles, rays, and a ton of fish.
Thanks to the whole crew for an amazing experience! 100% recommended.
Great place with incredible staff. Big shout out to Scuba Joe who is truly a one of a kind fellow, Tracy and Captain "i forgot your name". We had a blast in the sporty weather this past weekend. Looking forward to more adventures with this great crew.
One of the best dive centers I have ever encountered. Shop is great, organized, and professional. Instructors/guides are knowledgeable and care about every diver has a great experience. Went on several dives while we were in the Keys and each dive was great. Additionally they have a nice boat and the captain was very friendly, welcoming, and professional.
Shout out to Will and Tracy for being great guides.
Without a doubt, when I come back to the Keys, I will be revisiting this shop.
My new favorite dive shop in the keys! Outstanding hospitality in the shop. Top notch service on the boats. I've dove with all the shops on Key Largo, many of which are very good. But this store has just earned all my future business. Thanks for a great day of diving!
