    We had an excellent experience with Key Largo Dive Center. We went out with captain Larry for mini lobster season 2020. The boat is intimate with only six passengers/divers on at a time. We absolutely loved this. Other dive shops in the area will pack 30 or so divers on a boat and you feel like you're just lost amongst the crowd. The crew was very friendly and made it a point to talk to us and get to know us personally. The other divers on the boat were also very friendly. The six person limit makes fir a really great friendly and intimate dive. We would not hesitate to dive with them again and recommend them!

    We did a pool refresher course and went out on two dives with KLDC in early November and would highly recommend them! Our first point of contact was with Amber via email at the shop who quickly responded to our inquiries. She was able to schedule us for our refresher courses the following day and also assisted us with faulty second stage regulator replacements, which saved the rest of our dives. We also had the pleasure of meeting and diving with guide Max who was informative, personable, and really went out of his way to ensure that we all had a great experience. Thank you KLDC; we'll be back soon!!!

    We chose to dive here cause they said on the telephone they allow lion fish hunting as long as it wasn't on the protected reef. Also this place was very competitive in price (aka they beat everyone else's prices). Our dive was scheduled for a morning dive but we had to change the dive to the next day due to bad weather. We were called the day before and told by the dive shop that they were changing the dive to a deep wreck dive and then a reef dive. No problem we r both Advanced open water divers and we told the dive shop that. The dive shop told us they would see us tomorrow. When we went to check in we found out that since we hadn't done a deep dive in over a year and a half that we needed to have a guide go with us ($30 more per person). Then we were told that we had to use nitrox because the rest of the group was using nitrox ($14 charge). Lastly they said we now had to rent a dive computer for the nitrox ($10 charge). I had my own dive computer but it happened to have a dead battery (my fault). The dive operation was run very professionally and safely. I just through the extra charges ($54 per person) were kind of bs especially since they were not explained over the phone after the dive shop called and told us they were changing the dive. We weren't able to go lion fish hunting which I understand cause we were on the protected reef. I would dive here again, I just would make sure to tell future travelers to ask more specific questions about pricing when on the phone. The dive staff was great!

    Such great people. Great place to go and dive in the Florida keys just a short drive from Miami. Amazing crew and boat.

    After contacting several Kay Largo dive charters we decided to chartered a two tank afternoon dive here and was not disappointed. They had no problem with there being just 3 certified divers and two of us just snorkeling. The guys at the shop where extremely helpful with getting all our rental gear situated. It took about 40 minutes and we where all fitted and ready to meet the captain down at the dock. The captain and dive master were vary friendly and helped us load all our gear onto the boat. After getting the rundown of the boat and discussing our dive options we decided on Molasses Reef. We had a great dive. The dive master new the spot vary well and new where all the interesting finds where. We dove several spots in Islamorada that week but Molasses was our favorite. Definitely gonna use these guys again next year.

    My husband and I were in the Keys for a dive trip and I booked us on a 2-tank dive with KLDC over Labor Day weekend.

We do want to say that couple of the staff really stood out for excellent customer service - Jo as a dive guide was amazing, as was Savannah on the retail side - but the overall attitude is very much like you are just a number to fill seats. I question the safety standards. We went out in pretty questionable conditions (there was still thunder and lightening when we left the dock), and we witnessed people diving that really had no idea what they were doing, were bouncing around, kicking coral, not at all in control of themselves in the water - and none of this was directly addressed. The customer service in the dive center was pretty terrible - after we purchased over $1000 in equipment at their retail store, we were told we would get a free dive. Cool. So we booked a dive for 3 days later, and when we showed up, we were told that because we booked online instead of calling them, we could not use that free dive. We tried a few times to get this resolved and were just told "well that is our policy." There are so many options for diving in this area, I do not recommend this shop - they do not seem honest or like they really care about the dive experience, just filling seats.

We had 3 days worth of dives with 3 different guides. We went to Christ of the Abyss and Banana Patch with Emily as our guide, she did wonderful job of pointing out all the sea life. We had Bo as our guide when we dove the USS Spiegel. Bo knew the wreck and dive so very well and was great and making it a very fun and very safe dive, especially when my weights fell out on the dive. We have Jasmin as our guide when we visited Fire Coral Cove and Sand Island, she did a great job pointing out the sea life and was fortunate to find us a few nurse sharks. Captain Kate was great always making sure we have a good trip while keeping safety first. Sebastian and Ryan were also very helpful on board. Emily also helped us get Nitrox certified. We will be back in a couple months and will definitely come back to Sea Dwellers. Would highly recommend.

Sebastian made the check in process super quick, Bo got my gear together and was my amazing and hilarious dive buddy, Merlin and Kate were the knowledgeable and responsible Captains who took us to some killer spots, and Emily was out super responsible deck hand. Conditions were amazing and I saw a ton of organisms while the crew made the experience super relaxing and enjoyable. Would 100% recommend and will dive again. Next time I'm bringing my mom for the Discover Scuba class they offer. Also I found a teal mask I cannot live without lol
