Awesome experience getting to explore the coral reefs of the Keys! It was my family's first time snorkeling and we all had a blast. Captain Rick & mates Liber & Brandon were the best -- friendly, attentive, & professional. You check in and purchase (if needed) snorkels at a spot up the road from the boat, goggles & fins are provided once on the boat. I'd totally recommend! read more

The initial boat ride out was good. Took about an hour to board, talk through procedures, get vests, etc and arrive at the reef. Once at the reef, the water was extremely choppy. One passenger fell due to the extreme waves. Everyone put in their gear and started snorkeling, many people were struggling due to the waves and I was one of them. I got back on the boat 5 mins after struggling with the waves. For the next hour, I was extremely sea sick on the side of the boat. Many people proceeded to get back to the boat after me with bad sea sickness. Many snorkelers had to be rescued with a flotation devices. 90% of people were back on the boat before the time was up. I'm very been on this trip with this company before and had no problems. The water then was calm. I don't think it was safe to allow people to snorkeling in those wave conditions. read more

Great experience! Never imagined it would be so incredible. Captain Rick and Mate Brandon were excellent; kind, informative, friendly, and gave us a great suggestion for dinner--Lazy Days. read more

We went on the Sundiver about 3rd week in May. Had to buy a snorkel $15 to 25 or you can't go on the boat b) No bathroom on the boat c) When they give the safety instructions, they speak so rapidly, its hard to understand them d) Masks only one size and painful on my nose e) When waiting for the boat be sure to get on in the first third or you may get wet and will be out in the sun for the trip to the snorkel location - would have been nice if they had a water proof covering for you. f) Actual snorkel only 1 hour g) Due to high winds they took us to a reef location where * The coral appeared to be mostly dead, since it was covered with sand, only a few live coral with color. * Very few fish in most areas of the coral. No fish in most areas only fish at the areas where there is coral * The waves breaking on the coral cause so many bubbles it is hard to see the fish clearly read more

We had an amazing time snorkeling with Sundiver Snorkeling Tours! They were very organized and it was a great experience for the entire family. Captain Rick and Justice were excellent guides. We will definitely recommend them and we look forward to visiting again. read more

Really friendly people. Nice ride out. It was a bit windy so we didn't get to go as far out as we had hoped. But we got to see some nice coral and fish. read more

Our tour on August 2, 2025 with Sundiver Snorkel Tours was incredible! Captain Joe and mates (Auna and Hope) provided the best experience for myself (an experienced snorkeler) and my 25-year-old son (a newbie). I have been on other snorkel tours before, and Sundiver with this crew is the best. They attended well to passengers (approximately 30 of us) and took the time to explain the hows and whys to my son. The conditions were optimal, the underwater snorkeling adventure was breathtaking (my son is now all about snorkeling and because the experience was so amazing, we are going to try diving next). When we asked Captain Joe some questions at the end of the tour, he spent quality time explaining to my son how it is living and working in Key Largo and also about the available diving internships in the area. The ocean water was a very clear, pristine blue. We are very glad we chose the Christ of the Abyss tour - it was amazing - see pictures below. We will definitely return to the area and take this particular tour again! read more

Captain Joe and first mate Liber were amazing and just a fun duo. My daughter has a great time celebrating her 16th with them

My wife found this place online when searching for a snorkeling location. We pre-booked (including wetsuits) online. Note that you have to register at one location on the main road and then drive to another location where you actually board the boat. We showed up at the specified time and had plenty of time but it's something to be aware of. We brought our own snorkels, and I had my own mask, but my wife noticed when we got there that hers had shattered. Fortunately they had ones to borrow (you have to supply your own snorkel). I'm a big guy (6'2" and 300 lbs). I can't imagine getting a wetsuit that's comfortable (or flattering) but they at least had one that fit (with my wife helping me pull it over my shoulders). They also had flippers for any size. Boat ride was about 30 minutes. Shortly after getting in the water I had to get out because I was having too many issues with my personal mask fogging up. The guide gave me some tips and some soap and I was right back in the water with no issues the rest of the dive. Mostly we saw coral, sea grasses and a handful of different types of fish. I did happen to see a +3' green moray eel. I tried to grab a photo of it, but by the time I got my camera out and looked back down it was gone. When I got out, I was mentioning it to my wife who totally missed it and the guide overheard me. He said that they are nocturnal and rare to see but are confused sometimes on cloudy days like we had and come out. read more

oh my gosh where do i even start ? this experience truly was incredible, from captain john directing us out to the most beautiful reef and carolyn making sure we knew how to keep the reef thriving as we enjoy the sights. and wow were there sights, we saw a manta ray and so many species of fish i think i'd reach the character limit on yelp. thank you to chelsea in the store for setting us up as well, she's such a sweetheart and informative it sold us on going in the first place ! thank you sundiver - a new repeat customer !! read more

Experienced Capt and staff. Well worth the adventure. The kids had an amazing time. Saw lots of fish, beautiful coral and pristine waters.

I loved this trip, while we didn't go in statue area (not their fault it wasn't the season) it was really fun. There were light currents which made swimming really fun. We read some bad reviews about the crew but I thought they were really nice. :) (My 12 year old wrote this ) - her second review!! read more

Nice, nice professional safety first staff we enjoyed it thoroughly. We felt very confident in the abilities of the captain and crew, and were able to simply enjoy the reef while they took care of everything above read more

Sun diver was great! The ladies at the store for check in, the sweet girl who checked us in before we boarded, as well as the captain and Greg the first mate! Greg was fantastic, he provided snorkel tips, talked about the fish and the area, and was all around a good dude! He even provided restaurant recommendations for the area! I wouldn't hesitate going out with this crew again! read more

Incredible snorkel experience at a fair price. We will be back again next year. Thanks for the safe and memorable experience Sundiver.

It was an amazing day! Great Crew, fun day snorkeling, kayaking and hanging out at a sandbar.

This tour was incredible, and I had a fantastic experience. The mate and captain were very kind and informed all of the boat's passengers. Despite the slightly choppy thirty-minute voyage out to the reef, none of the passengers experienced sea sickness. The water was breathtaking and they are quite cautious of the reef and won't allow you to carry spray sunscreen because it damages the reef. This is understandable given that people were still doing things in the water that they were instructed not to do. Although I wish I could have seen more fish, the nation's coral reefs are fading. All in all, I had a terrific experience and will most certainly be back. read more

I feel 50/50 on this. The snorkeling was a pretty good experience and specially for the price point, however some of the staff seemed like they hated their job. The lady at the check in window location where you wait to get on the boat just came off very rude and was very short with people when asking questions. The boat crew was mostly great but again the woman who was on the boat didn't have the best personality either but the two guys were super nice and friendly. Overall they were helpful and patient with the kids onboard and helping out those who had some issues with mask fogging or just general questions. Maybe the two ladies were both having a bad day, who knows but for the price point I'd be willing to try them again. read more

If you are in Key Largo and looking for a Snorkel tour I highly recommend Sundiver snorkel tour. The captain and mates on the boat were all extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. We did two excursions with this company, the Christ of the abyss morning snorkel tour and also the sunset snorkel tour. The Christ of the abyss tour it was amazing, you really were able to see a number of animals and also the statue very clearly. The sunset snorkel tour was OK the snorkeling was decent but the boat right back was a little before sunset so you don't really get that ambiance. The one downside, which isn't the companies fault, was the water was extremely choppy both tours we did and a number of people got sea sick. If you have young children with you I recommend keeping them close by! read more

Sundiver Snorkel Tours - Christ of the abyss - Tours Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

Everyone was so kind. We had a great time!!! This was a last minute trip and the snorkeling trip was perfect

This is a well run shop and the staff is great. I would give 5 stars from an operational standpoint. HOWEVER, the quality of the reefs we saw was only 1 star (we went to Grecian reef). It was almost all bleached out and void of color. I get that this is not the fault of this company and they are just trying to make a living in a less than ideal sitaution. But the colors of the foral, the fish and other ocean wildlife was a huge difference from a few years ago when I went to snorkeling in the Keys. Not very many fish or variety of them left. I'm surprised few of the other reviews mention this. It was absolutely apparent to me and really affected the quality of the experience. read more

This was our first time snorkeling and we had a blast. We are so glad that we chose Sundiver tours. The crew is so friendly and helpful through the process. They ask that you check in an hour before departure. Note that the office where you check in is not where you board the boat. You check in and then drive to the hotel where the boat is docked. Don't worry, it is only about 2-3 miles away and you have plenty of time. Check in was easy and we purchased some snorkels as we did not have our own. They do not provide snorkels but do provide everything else. Once we got to the dock the final check in was quick and the staff was so friendly. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the reef and you have a little over an hour to snorkel. The water was fantastic on our trip. The crew provides safety and instruction tips on the way out and hands out the snorkeling vests, fins and masks. They provide tips to help such as inflating the vest a little bit and using a noodle to take out some of the work. I did both and highly recommend it. You have a little swim over to the reef. Once back on the boat we had some good conversation with the crew and learned where they were from and even got good tips for dinner. If you are looking to snorkel in Key Largo I definitely recommend Sundiver. They were great! read more

Awesome snorkel tour company in Key Largo, Florida. They offer several snorkel tours; morning, afternoon, later afternoon, and sunset. They have a tour that takes you to the Chris Statute. However, it is onlt visible in good weather conditions. They also have a shallow reef tour which lasts 2.5 hours. The prices are similar to other tours in the area. Staff was super friendly and everything was very clean. All wet suits, goggles, and flippers are disenfected. read more

We really suggest buyers be careful as they don't give warnings when it isn't ideal conditions. Our kids are 6 and 8 and this was their first time. When we checked in, the person ahead of us had a child who was scared and was reassured by the clerk that it would be fine. The water was way too choppy and not suitable for younger swimmers doing it for the first time. The kids lasted a brief time in the water and none of us even got to see a single fish. It created a negative experience for them and they never go again. It would have nice to know ahead of time that it wasn't ideal conditions. We were one of 3 families on the tour with younger kids - all of which had to come out early and had similar experiences. While the staff are nice (particularly the crew on the boat), as we were paying $300, we thought we should provide Sundiver with this feedback. We reached out to Sundiver on 5 occasions via phone and email and were told a manager would get back to us and never received a response. read more

We had a good time trying snorkeling for the first time. There was 6+ of us and they took time to explain and made sure we were ready from start to finish. Gave a plenty of cautions and tips about snorkeling and what to watch out for. Unfortunately, our trip was cut short due to medical emergency. They gave us free drinks while we waited. They were very helpful and issued us a partial refund. Other people on the boat went back to snorkeling afterwards too. They were very accommodating in the face of emergency. I would consider revisiting this experience in the future. read more

I enjoyed snorkeling through Sundiver! They took us to a shallow reef called White ...something on a beautiful day. The crew was nice and made me feel comfortable since I was nervous. I would grab the noodle. The reef itself was nice, we saw nice colored fish and some barracuda. Goggles, flippers and vests were disinfected. I find it rather dumb that we had to go to some shop first to check in and then drive somewhere else to actually check in again to then wait for the boat. read more

We went snorkeling on 2 consecutive days with Sundiver. From start to finish, an efficient and pleasant experience! You check in at one place and sign waivers (and buy a snorkel if needed), then they give you VERY clear directions to get to where the boat is docked (just a couple of miles away). This system makes sense, as their shop is on the main drag, and with its bright colors can attract potential customers, whereas the actual boat dock has limited space and only those waiting for the next tour end up there. The safety briefings, the equipment, and the crew were all wonderful. They had anti-fog for the masks, and their flippers were so comfortable I didn't even know I had them on. Once in the water, we were allowed to swim at will, which we enjoyed much better than being led around by the nose. The crew is watchful but not intrusive. The cold sodas ($1 each) available are very helpful, to wash that saltwater taste (or queasiness) away. (They also have free ice water). I must mention that I have very limited mobility, although I am an excellent swimmer. The crew were very helpful & patient in assisting me into/out of the water, and onto/off of the ship. read more

My friends and I did this as a day trip from Miami over the weekend. We had so much fun and it was a great experience overall! We took the first morning tour out at 9am to see Christ of the Abyss which is a statue at the bottom of the ocean. We were lucky to have great weather because the visibility was super clear and we got an awesome view of the corals and the statue. We saw fish, turtles and someone on our tour said they even saw a stingray. The boat took off at 9am and the ride out to our destination was around 30 minutes, which ended up being very enjoyable. There is unlimited and *complimentary* ice cold water on board during the whole tour and you can purchase soda for a dollar at any time. Once we arrived by the statue, we got around an hour and a half in that area, which was more than enough time to explore and really enjoy. Then the ride back was another 30 minutes. The snorkel gear is sanitized before every use, but if you're uncomfortable using that they offer brand new gear for purchase ($10) at the store before taking off. We had a really great time and I plan on taking more friends and my family to check out the statue in the near future. Side note, only the morning (9am) tour goes out to see the statue. So if you're looking to see it, make sure you book the 9am slot! read more

We had an amazing time snorkeling with Sundiver! The crew does an excellent job and are all so friendly. You can tell they know what they are doing. Even a rough cloudy day was still awesome to go out. Thanks guys! read more

Highly recommend! We did the 2.5 hour trip to see the Christ of the Abyss on a Wednesday morning. It was amazing! As soon as we got to the check in place the guy was cool and very helpful, he gave us directions to the marina that were very easy to follow. The crew was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back for another trip! We were very impressed and had a great time! read more

I took snorkeling sunset cruise, but do not expect to see the actual sunset, it's just a name to attract people. The captain was very rude and angry. He was obsessed that someone might be stepping or touching the reef even if it's not and he yelled at people from the boat while we were snorkeling. And if you reply you didn't touch the reef and it's way too deep to reach, he yells even more - "Don't argue with me!" The girl who assisted on the ship was a combination of being rude and sarcastic. Just before I went to the water I asked her if are sharks out there? Her cold reply with careless look was - "They live here, I'm not gonna lie to you"...This reply left me puzzled and I did't know what to expect, being bitten, eaten or who knows...but honestly I expected some basic assurance from the crew, like for example: "Don't worry, it's highly unlikely!" or "Don't worry, it never happened before" or "Don't worry, we are watching you guys". Weird crew...I was scared and my experience was ruined. And for some reason this snorkeling company makes you go to two different locations before departure. You drive to the first place just to sign one page paper and then you drive to the pier, which is not clear to find with the map they gave you at the first place. We got lost and barely made it to the ship on time. And If you late, no refund of course. read more

$170. For 2 adults and 1 child. Thunderstorms and wind predicted for 1 pm. Snorkel session starts at dock at noon. Storms predicted until 3 pm with a break at 4 then more storms at 5 pm. 35 minute boat ride to get to the snorkeling spot. At noon heavy black clouds and the wind starting kicking up. At this point customers should be give the option for a rain check but this company is more concerned with making money than the safety and feelings of their customers. As we stared out on the boat the waves got very large due to the wind kicking up. For me this was NOT fun. It was very scary but I also didn't want to throw $170. Out the door. I have been on many snorkeling excursions all over and hands down this was the WORST experience I have ever had. It was raining on the was out to the reef, black clouds, high winds. When we got to the reef the water was crazy choppy and rough. Almost impossible to snorkel with the rough water. Their were few fish to see because we couldn't get that close to the reef due to choppy rough water. I would have given this company a 1 if it had not been for Rick snd Katrina, 2 of the crew people. They were very good and helpful. As for the boat it was ridiculously loud. The loudest I have ever heard for a snorkeling boat. Bring ear plugs because I'm sure I had some hearing damage. Many of the blow up life vests are old, worn out, faded, and frayed. I will never book in advance with this company due to their poor weather policies. If they had flexibility they would have repeat customers. A big thank you to Rick and Katrina for helping me not get too strep it as we drove out into the storm. You guys were great. I think the boat driver drove way too fast, I felt like he was racing the storm. read more

Worst snorkel tour company in the keys. They treat you like a little baby just learning to swim, you have no option but to wear those dumb inflatable life vests and they don't tell you until you are on your way to the reef. Staff has an attitude about everything. Horrible parking situation. Boat sucks. Waste of money. Sundance is the best snorkel tour company in the keys, highly recommend them over these losers! read more

I booked well in advance and the day before the trip was canceled due to weather (medium wind). I called the next day to try to get in another date and was informed it was possible they may go out Thursday. I said that would work. Never heard another thing until they called at the departure time. Obviously I was not there since it was not confirmed. They kept my booking money and would not refund it. read more

First and foremost: Keep in mind is that you ARE going to a coral reef. Lots and lots of different types of living coral. If you're considering wearing sunscreen for your trip, make sure it's labeled safe for reefs as to not harm the reproduction of the coral and their very slow development so that others can enjoy for years to come as well as provide habitats for all the reef fish you get to see on this trip. We booked our trip a few weeks out for my 40th birthday so I couldn't predict if the weather would be optimal for snorkeling. As the time came, the weather was partly sunny with thunderstorms all around us which made the water very choppy. It didn't make for a great excursion as it was just a little too much for me to handle. In no way was this anyone's fault, just speaking in terms of my personal experience as the sea sickness hit a few snorkelers. The boat is large and clean. They provide fins and masks or you can being or purchase your own when checking in. We bought ours at check-in station. All the staff members were very professional and friendly and overall made sure everyone was okay. The boat had lots of room as well as covered space to take shelter from sun or rain. I would absolutely love to go back again on a day when it's sunny and calm. The price is very affordable, $50/person and while I couldn't handle the chop, current, and swim out to shallow reef, my husband had a great time. Floating vests are required for you to wear and trust me when I say, you'll love having it. They also provide noodle floats as an additional help to staying on the top. I wish I had gotten one for myself but I was too proud thinking I could handle it as I'm pretty athletic and fit. Also because shallow reef is VERY shallow. You're right on top of the reef floating on the surface. Tips to make your snorkel trip great: Eat a healthy but small meal before going. Bring a GoPro!! I cannot say this enough! Also, a filtered mask and snorkel that doesn't allow water in the tube. I purchased my and my husbands snorkel gear from Sundiver for around $120 and they're great. read more

They really pack the boat, like there were people that had to sit on the drink cooler it was so full. Crew was great, explained everything well (could have mentioned to pay attention to other swimmers around) and were attentive. It wasn't 2.5 hours though... we only had an hour in the water, and an a little under an hour trip time. My only complaint is about fellow passengers. It amazes me how rude people can be. Lady next to me kept elbowing me, hitting me with her bag, and then when we got back on the boat found she had been sitting on my towel so it was soaking wet. People kept kicking us in the water and running into us. I get if you are a first timer but you have to be aware of your surroundings and not JUST look down. I think if the boat wasn't so full, maybe these things wouldn't have been an issue. read more

My girlfriend and myself live right by the key in an awesome lake condo and decided at the last minute to snorkel after being in bed most of the day. We called last minute evening and were told the whole day was booked but to call back at 8:15am because they still hadn't heard from a large group that was planning to come. (Donna was very pleasant and broke the "already booked" news with sympathy.) Well, we just decided to arrive at 8am and let them know we were ready if they had availability. As luck would have it, we got on. ATTENTION: ANYONE GOING ON THEIR WEBSITE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE ONLINE COUPON THAT DISCOUNTS THE TICKET AND AN UNDERWATER CAMERA IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE ONE!!! ALSO, THE PRICES ARE VERY WELL POSTED. We were bringing the equipment we needed since I have een an advance diver for over four years now and was more than prepared, we boarded with 30 other people. Yes, seating was tight and some had to sit on a quasi "seat" near the front. The captain (Tom, I think) was very direct, non nonsense, and safety oriented. He also had an amusingly dry sense of humor. His crew were helpful and friendly. The only suggestion I would have is for Oscar to speak very loudly when he's at the end of the boat. The crew was great to my girlfriend, who was her first time in open ocean and was scared of everything. The captain was VERY clear about the snorkeling rules and Florida Laws concerning the reef, which us Floridians REALLY appreciated. The reef was amazing. Just deep enough for this mom who found the trip to the Christ statue with a John Pennekamp trip a little too deep. I know a lot of people are worried about jellyfish, so I want to say I only saw one. Everything about this trip was great and we will definitely be visiting this business when we return. After reading some of the negative reviews earlier this year, I want to support this business's commitment to safety. There is nothing more important out on the water than safety and a captain is responsible for returning his passengers safely home. Period. Overall we got to see tons of fish including yellow tale,groupers, chubbs which were funny and at some point were surrounding us. We saw a huge trumpet fish and a few barracudas. the reef was gorgeous full of royal purple sea fans and brain coral. The waters was pristine and a huge visibility. my girlfriend saw a small shark and maintained calm. i was so proud of her, she got comfortable right away going for long swims and even diving greeting closer to the fish. Now she is hooked into snorkeling and the ocean overall which makes me very happy as it is a way of living for me. I'm glad this company made the day for us and now we an use them often and enjoy for of the reefs. The reef was about 15-20 feet deep, for me i was like a pool, for her it was an open water adventure. So blessed to have gotten acclimated with the big blue world , now she is hooked and cant get enough SALT read more

We chose the Sundiver shallow reef snorkeling outing as my kids are 11 & 16 and fairly uncomfortable in the ocean. It was the most fun we've had on any recent vacation, and very memorable. Captain Daryl and mate Alexis were great. We saw many fish, a beautiful reef, and even shark and barracuda. I wish I had brought an underwater camera, but had a great experience we will always remember. read more
