We had a great time, my husband did 3 dives and I bubble watched. We had great experience. It was a bit windy but we felt safe with crew and... read more they took us to best locations possible in that weather to have a great experience. Big thank you to Captain Allison, Scuba Joe, young ladies Sophie and Faith(? Sorry if I messed up names.) We hope to be back again.

We scheduled for 11/22 but weather was not great and they didn’t have enough people to run. We got rebooked for the next day which was beautiful! Staff was awesome... read more and we had a wonderful time snorkeling.

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!

We went diving with Florida divers in July and enjoyed it so much that when my good friend and new dive buddy Heidi decided to come to Ft Lauderdale for... read more a visit. The first thing she asked was would I like to go back down to Key Largo for another day of diving. I of course jumped at the opportunity to go out with Florida Divers again. The morning we were to go diving the wind was whipping and the temp had drove to 62 degrees... that’s quite cold in Florida especially on the water. We were hoping they would cancel the dive but...”no problem” they said. So we pulled on our wet suits and got aboard. As they predicted...The sun came out the wind calmed down and Captain Tim and Zack took us to Davies Reef, which was a very pleasant and relaxing dive. Then we went to Pleasure Reef where Zack said “ this is going to be fun”....WOW! Super friendly Nurse sharks, huge moray eels, incredible variety of marine life and the signs of returning corals. It was almost overwhelming and Zack was an excellent guide the fish appeared to no him personally. It was one of my all time favorite dives and that covers a lot of diving! Thank once again Florida Divers for an amazing staff!!

Gotta say we had a great great trip!! Parking was cake and not far at all to take gear to stage it before departure. Restroom was clean, staff... read more was SUPER friendly, Tim (Capt) and first made Zack did an outstanding job with briefings and information. Went to Pickles Reef, 2 spots, Capt put us on great moorings. The boats were very clean, sounded well kept, we didn't see any of the ugliness that happens when you mix snorkelers and divers on the same boat. They followed the Covid rules and made everyone as comfortable as possible. Definitely on the list to come back to!!

Our Captain, Scuba Joe, Doc, and Jackson were great! We knocked out our Open Water certification in a day and a half. Our first dive, Pleasure Reef, was my favorite.... read more It had lots of colorful fish and nur sharks. Bring some Dramamine in case the sea is rough! I was glad I brought a rash guard and shorts for extra warmth. Thanks FKDC!

We had an excellent experience with our scuba refresher course and dives. The whole team was helpful especially Charley, Lana, Scuba Joe, Captain Greg, and Matthew. The trip... read more to Pleasure Reef to swim with the sharks was especially memorable. Great job guys!

Amazing staff, extremely well run, really took covid precautions seriously (which was great), and beautiful dive. I loved everything about this company. I got a wee bit motion sick on... read more on of the dives and the staff and boat captain were extremely attentive making sure I was ok, I had water, and making it as comfortable as possible while I was feeling a little sick. Overall great place to dive with and I will recommend to anyone who ask.

Did two days of diving with this crew! Top notch very knowledgeable, on time, very helpful.. the shark finder 3.0 was my favorite part and it did the trick.. we... read more definitely saw some cool friendly sharks!! We will definitely be back

Incredible experience. Captain Brad and Scuba Joe were two of the most friendly, knowledgeable and fun individuals I’ve ever met. Boat and facility were nice and tidy. Team was so... read more knowledgeable and the 3 spots we went snorkeling were full of so much sea life. Could not recommend this place more. Will be back very soon.

Absolutely a top notch operation! Captain Chase, Doc, Nate, Scuba Joe, and the rest of the gang were just incredible. Scuba Joe is one of the best dive guides we... read more have ever had the privilege to dive with. His caring attitude and love of sharing his passion, made it possible for my wife to overcome her fears and do her first deep and wreck dive on the Eagle. He led her around the entire wreck by the hand, reassuring her the whole way. Joe, you have no idea how happy you made our family today. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And to the owner Eric, you are the man brother. You have managed to recreate the magic of the Islamorada Dive Center with Florida Keys Dive Center in Tavernier.

Having dove all over the western hemisphere, I've missed out on FL diving. FL Dive Center is by far one of the most professional, non-corporate but ultimately professional groups I've... read more had the pleasure of hiring in my 10 years of diving. Their boats and gear, top-notch! I appreciated the strict process of organizing the diver positions on the boat and the pre-dive review by the boat captain and dive masters.
The employees were pleasant and observant as they would assist in precheck and donning gear. All of this, plus a sense of humor. Our first day of diving was so enjoyable that I booked a second day, immediately following.
While the chance to ensure that you have Oklahoma Joe as your divemaster depends upon your schedule, if you manage to land him, you may get a chance to see the evasive Western Atlantic Black Parana.
If we make it back down there, These people will be our ONLY choice.

Such a great experience with Florida Keys Dive Center. My new favorite dive shop to go diving with! They were so much fun, very experienced, helpful and knowledgeable! The locations... read more they brought us too were full of marine life and the wrecks were just magical. The crew did such a great job of leading us and guiding us! Plus they had great equipment to rent and buy, definitely check out they're gear in the dive shop!

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.

Away from the crowded sites of Key Largo the ocean teams with wildlife and FKDC will take you there in spacious well equipped boats. A little bit more expensive but a lot worth it.

We have been diving with FKDC for several years now. We do an annual January trip from Ohio when it's a bit slow down there and seas get a little rough. FKDC always tries to accommodate our dive plans whether deep, shallow or at night. We store our gear in a locker between trips which is so great and they also offer multi trip discounts. I don't rent gear but from what I have seen, the rental equipment is very well maintained. There's lots of dive shops in the area but this one it top notch.
