Customer Testimonials

  Dive operators in Key Largo are common, there are good ones, there are greedy ones and there are amazing ones who really care about you and your experience. ... read more I have had experience with several. FKDC is one of the few great ones, in fact, I doubt you can find a better more professional operator in the keys.
Super professional, super meticulous, and very knowledgeable of the dive sites. I took my 16 yo, son, on a dive trip and he was incredibly well treated by Scuba Joe, the best dive guide I have seen in my 28 years of diving, a great guy with great stories, and super knowledgeable, he took my son through his AOW with ease, and really made me feel like he was in very safe hands.
I highly recommend diving with FKDC and make sure you go out with Joe and the rest of the crew, you will come back with one of the best diving experiences you could have had.

  Fabulous experience, captain and crew made the whole process easy, as I’d never done this before. Seas were very choppy (about 3 foot) which they have no control over;... read more but if you’re prone to seasickness don’t go on a choppy day.
I would definitely go back to them.

  The trip to Pete's, Spankie's, Davis and Pleasure reefs are great! Saw sharks, turtles, eels, crabs, lobsters, etc. You name it. The crews are wonderful and helpful. Hope to dive... read more with them again!

  I'm not one who usually complains, but what's up with me calling your center today at 4:03pm to make sure we didn't need our own lights for the night dive... read more with a 5:30pm check-in and getting "oh...we were just about to call you..." TO CANCEL? I mean I get that we were the only two left because someone cancelled and that there's no money in taking only two people out, but now I have zero chance to reschedule anything and I even offered to pay more to try to make it a private charter.

I had another company say they could've done a private charter "if we'd had more notice". And THAT is the crux of my complaint. We are expected to give days of notice in order to get our money back and there's no refund for less than 24 hours notice. Does that mean that you guys knew about this for more than a day and didn't even so much as give me a heads up? Or did the others cancel just today and you kept their money and still didn't take us out?

This is a special father-son graduation trip and we fly out on Sunday, so our options to get in a night dive now are NIL. I'm very disappointed for my son and in your company.

  Captain Jason and team were highly professional, efficient and environmentally conscious! We had 3 days of diving with Diving With a Purpose to certify in maritime archaeology, and they easily... read more accommodated our technical needs. They were extremely helpful in getting 20+ divers in and out of the water quickly and safely and even helped with special equipment. I would definitely dive with them again. Don’t forget to bring an insulated tumbler for the water cooler on board as that is the standard for dive operations today. If you pull a rookie move and forget it, you can purchase one in their shop.

  If you want to learn or just scratch that diving itch this is the place to do it. All the staff are the coolest dudes and Scuba Joe's dive classes... read more are second to none. The dives here are always are an amazing journey. You get to see all the awesome life that the keys have to offer. You may even see some rare ocean life like the West Atlantic Black Piranha! Overwhelming good time hear, the only thing you will regret is having to get out of the water. 5 Stars Hands DOWN. Scuba Joe Rocks!

  Excellent tour on 4th August 2019 - we got to swim with at least 10 sharks (Nurse sharks, so all very safe!) on a coral reef, what more could you... read more want? Brilliant tour & a fun crew.

I brought my own tanks and they could not have been nicer about accommodating fills and the usual o ring issues.

I have been on many charter trips in the keys through different operators and this was a complete happy experience. Excellent customer service, clean conditions on the boat and in the shop, friendly, and all needs met. There is no question that I would use them again.

  Yesterday we went scuba diving in the morning with Florida Keys Dive Center. We often dive with them and have great experiences but yesterday took the cake! The weather was... read more perfect the boat was very clean and organized for social distancing and staff and divers were considerate of the mask rules. We saw so many animals that we stopped pointing them out to each other! Maybe a dozen nurse sharks sleeping, sleeping together, moving, moving together, one rooting around for something tasty under a little coral. A multitude, really, or big green moray also in a variety of poses. Many just out swimming from one hidey hole to another! We also saw a golden eel and two very small black and white eel. A crab , lots of collector urchin with big collections. There was a beautiful turtle, a few large barracudas, yellow stingrays and southern rays, and to top it off 2 amazing bonnet sharks! I mean really? It was a dream day of diving with Florida Keys Dive Center. And thank you for your service to our country to both the Captain and his first mate son
