    David was exceptional! Knowledgeable, personable, and very informative. He gave us maps, discount cards, shared info about the weather and wave heights regarding boat rides David shared options for sunset cruises and different ways to go to Dry Tortuga National Park. David helped us make decisions & plan our exciting adventure!

    My wife and I stopped in here two years in a row. Captain Kenny was so knowledgeable and helpful in planing the activities we were interested in. All it cost us was a tip. The first time we stopped my wife accidentally took a book and when we got down the road she seen a price tag on it. So a year later I paid for the book when we stopped in and Kenny was understanding. Please stop in and talk to him. It is way faster than searching the web to be where you want to go.

    If you are looking for some guidance on snorkeling and/or scuba diving, I would highly recommend The Florida Keys Visitor Center. Vicky took care of us and set us up an a tour with Horizon Divers. They took exception care of us and showed us a nice day on the water taking us to shallow reefs for viewing lots of coral reefs and tropical fish. Great for beginners to advanced. The captain and mate were great helping all and telling silly jokes! Thanks Vicky for the recommendation and making the reservation for us!

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.

This year, it was a sunset cruise, which far surpasses a dinner at yet another restaurant. Jill met me at Buzzard's Roost, which was great. I am local, but for folks who aren't, this is a great extra! I got to meet Suzy, their rescue, who was very sweet. Captain Glenn took us from ocean side to bay side to Nest Key for sunset. Close to Nest Key, we encountered at least 25 dolphin feeding. We sat and watched and them when we started to move away, the dolphin wanted to play in the boat's wake. Could not have imagined such a special experience to celebrate a birthday!!! My friends brought refreshments and Lucky Fish supplied reusable cups and also had a tank of water. A plus is their actual head (toilet) aboard. Their cat is a perfect size for 6 passengers. It is well appointed, spotless and very stable. Highest praise for Jill, Glenn and Suzy!

We decided not to let the pandemic spoil our 4th of July celebration and spent the holiday in Key Largo. After seeing the larger dive operations with their packed boats of 30+ people all weekend and the COVID-19 outbreak reaching an all-time high in Florida, we made the smarter decision to do a private dive with Lucky Fish Scuba. Captain Glenn and Jill took my dad, my sister and me to the perfect location for our first ocean dive. We had the best time! We were so happy to have the extra attention and instruction as new divers. It was such a stress-free experience. We were able to book the dive last minute, and all of the necessary equipment was on the boat ready for us when we arrived. The boat was beautiful and clean. The equipment was very new and in top condition. Glenn gave us tips to improve our scuba skills. Jill provided snacks and unlimited reef-friendly sunscreen. We even got a video of the dive to share will the rest of our family! I highly recommend using Lucky Fish Scuba if you plan to dive in Key Largo!

    What a great place to go if you are an amateur snorkeler/diver!! Its not to deep pretty good water…read moreclarity lots of fish to see as well.. The best thing it you dont need a boat, you can pay 30-45 dollars and they will take you there snorkeling gear included!!! There is a late afternoon snorkel trip which includes champagne and a sunset... Reef Roamer does the sunset champagne thing (877) 453-0110, Great to go with a group of friends/girlfriend whatever good idea for a mini getaway!!!! Christ of the abyss is probably one of the more famous reefs in the keys some facts on statue.. The original sculpture, "Il Cristo degli Abissi" is in the Mediterranean sea off San Fruttuoso between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. It was placed in the water on 22 August 1954 at approximately 17 metres depth, and stands 2.5 metres (8.5 feet) tall. "Il Cristo degli Abissi" was created by Guido Galletti after an idea of Italian swimmer / diver Duilio Marcante. The statue was placed near the spot where Dario Gonzatti died in 1947. He was the first Italian to use SCUBA gear. San Fruttuoso San Fruttuoso The statue depicts Christ in a pose offering peace. His hands and head are raised toward the surface (or the sky, when positioned above water).

    A must do in the Florida Keys!!!!…read more General Facts: Christ of the Abyss is a 8 1/2 foot, 4,000 pound bronze sculpture of Jesus Christ that stands in 25 feet of water off of Key Largo, Florida. It is located near Dry Rocks, about six miles east-northeast of the Key Largo Cut, in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. I was very fortunate to finally visit the Christ of the Abyss after wanting to go for many years! We went on my fiancé's boat. We looked for the coordinates on the web and simply followed them. When you arrive you will see a good number of ball boat bouees set up with a rope which allows you to tie up. They then have a floater which says "Statue" which marks the spot. It's a really cool spot if you are an amateur snorkeler. The water is 25 deep so if you are a beginner and feel comfortable being in that depth you should be good. There are tons of colorful fish around which makes the snorkeling adventure very special. It is my understanding you can go on a tour from John Penne camp for $35-50. If it includes snorkeling gear I say it's totally worth it. Definitely a place worth checking out if you are in the Key Largo Area. Here is a website with more info: http://www.divespots.com/scuba-diving-spots/florida/florida-keys/key-largo/spots/christ-of-the-abyss See my video below! Enjoy!
