  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.

  From the moment we stepped on the boat, The Orion, Captain Tim and Scuba Joe were amazingly helpful and had a wonderful sense of humor. They... read more were very helpful getting our equipment on and getting us set up for each one of the dives. Both dives were amazing we saw so many nurse sharks, moray eels and beautiful beautiful fish! I can't wait to go back to Florida Keys Dive Center on my next visit to the keys.

  My husband and I are beginners and have 5 children under 12 so were a bit nervous about the day! Scuba Joe & Captain Tim were just amazing! ... read more Joe helped all of the kids feel at ease and grow a love for snorkeling! We swam with several nurse sharks, fish, turtles, eel etc! The kids became so comfortable in the water that it was just amazing. They've already asked to go back! This felt like a private tour rather than one of those impersonal tourist boats that I've done in Key West. We will definitely be back! Definitely a great place for the entire family! So much fun!

  Had a great trip on the big dipper. Awesome staff, very friendly and helpful. Zach was our dive guide and we had a blast with him! He was so personable,... read more funny and was an excellent dive buddy, pointing things out that we would've never noticed...More

  My two sons and I both went through the Open Water Cert class at FKDC and they were awesome! the instructors were patient yet carried the necessary seriousness about... read more dive safety for both you and old! It is clear they love their work. SCUBA Joe, Zach, Captains Kasten, Tracy and Tim were excellent leading the boat and we had a blast.

  I made the reservation online. When we arrived the required 45 minutes before departure time we were informed that drinks and snacks would not be included because of Covid... read more restrictions so we had to purchase these items (from them). The employee did tell us we could leave and get something from a gas station and come back. It would have been nice if the price was discounted. The fact we could buy snacks but they could not provide them for us was a bit of a contradiction.
The first mate informed us he would not recommend using the head (bathroom) because it was smelly, would not be as clean as we'd like and because he would have to clean it.
I'm not sure how the places the boat stops are chosen but it would have been nice to know ahead of time where we would be stopping. None of the places we visited were any of the recommended any where of best spots to visit.
Our 4 hour trip was also only 2 and a half.
They had just reopened after being closed for 2 months. Seems like they'd like to exceed expectations not provide mediocre experiences.
Definitely did not get what we paid for. Disappointing experience.
