What a great day of diving in the Florida Keys. Check out this picture from another satisfied diver on Pete’s Reef. Sure is a pretty boat! Thanks to Susan and Malcolm for the great shot.

Completed open water certification with Joe and Sara as instructors. I found both instructors to be exceptionally competent in their knowledge and instruction. Sara is great at instilling the confidence you need as you move along with your skills and Joe is a good teacher – making sure you get what you need in order to be competent in the water. Can’t wait to get back to the FKDC and dive in again!

They are thoroughly professional, excellent instructors. who demonstrated enthusiasm for the sport, excellent group leadership and teaching skills, and safety awareness.

Capt. Greg,

Just wanted to let you know Adam and I had a great trip! To quote Arnold Swartenagger (I’ll be back). The attention to detail, knowledge of the area and best dive sites was to say the least impressive. I only wish I had more time.

Happy, Happy….Joy, Joy!!!!

Hello,

I wanted to thank all the staff and crew for a terrific morning charter on Sunday. We had a wonderful time diving the Eagle and a lovely reef. Then back at the dock we had the luck of watching your local manatee drink water from a hose. That was such a nice surprise bonus to the trip.

Thanks so much for the fun time; we will definitely be back.

Best Regards,

My wife & I completed our 4 open water dives this week to complete our open water scuba cert. YAHOO!!! I am a stroke survivor, with some physical challenges, Joe very patiently reviewed all the required skills and guided us along the course to this very significant achievement! He was challenged with my limitations, and met every hurdle with his great CAN DO ATTITUDE. Considering the amount of skills testing we covered, I never felt rushed or hurried. Capt Greg was very helpful with the water entries & exits, and his local knowledge was very informative. We were lucky that the other students on the boat were good people. Thanks, buddies! & we wish Florida Keys Dive Center!

Forever Grateful,

Dave & Laura Stahl

My son and I recently completed our wreck and Nitrox PADI certifications with Joe. He is an excellent instructor and thorougly reviewed all of the required skills. We had a great time diving on the Spiegel Grove, Duane, Eagle and Benwood, as well as the reefs. The staff and crew at Florida Keys Dive Center are a great group and very safety orientated. You will not be disappointed!

Special thanks for the encouragement to get me through my recent open water certification. I was ready to give up and Captain Tom and John gave me the courage I needed to succeed. The dive crew is very helpful and I will definitely be back!
