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!!!

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

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!

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.

The Rainbow Reef Dive Center was such a great experience! My fiance and I are Open Water Divers and…read morewe wanted to dive the Florida Keys on May 2024. We booked the morning and afternoon dive (total of 4 dives/sites) and we enjoyed the experience. The boat and dive guides were very friendly. We checked in then we got our rental gears. Before we left the dock, the dive guides were able to help us set up our gear (we are beginner divers and, sometimes, you just need to double check if your gear is correctly set up). We went to the Eagle Raw Alley, JJ's Cave, Minnow's Cave, and Christ of the Abyss. We saw a lot of creatures like lobster, hammer head shark, nurse shark, different fishes, stingray, crab, Christ of the Abyss, parrot fish, and tube sponge. Highly recommend this location for your next dive!

Horrible customer service!…read more My husband and I walked I into the shop 3 times and ended up walking out 3 times disappointed with the customer service. The staff, behind the counter, was extermely unhelpful and we both got the feeling they just wanted us to leave the shop so they don't have to deal with another tourist. We are both experienced divers, just asking to book a dive, but ultimately we decided we would rather give our money to another dive shop in the area that made us feel welcome. I strongly suggest looking for a different dive shop.

My family just finished our open water dive certification with Jayme H. At CRD and had an amazing…read moreexperience! Jayme is an excellent teacher, so fun and easy to get along with! She's honestly treated us like family! She gave us tons of tips and tricks to make things as easy as possible. Very knowledgeable about our dive spots and found lots of sea creatures for us to see. She even braided my daughters hair prior to diving because she know how tangled curly hair can get in the salt water. We would highly recommend CRD for your open water certification and recommend Jayme even more!!!!! We will be bringing ing our oldest son back for his certification when he is ready!!!

Fantastic Personalized Experience with a Woman-Owned Business! Highly Recommend!…read more Our family had an unforgettable dive experience with Conch Republic Diving on Christmas Eve afternoon. We booked the dive with only about an hour's notice, and they truly went above and beyond to accommodate us. The team arranged for a private boat just for our group, which included my wife, three sons, my mother-in-law, and myself. We were taken out to two amazing dive sites--Betty's and Davy Crocker--which were absolutely breathtaking. We saw incredible wildlife, including green moray eels, dozens of nurse sharks, and schools of reef fish so big we had to swim through them. The dive sites were gorgeous, and the underwater scenery was just stunning. Our dive guide, Will, was excellent. He did a fantastic job handling our group, which included both my two younger sons who are still new to open water diving, as well as my mother-in-law who is also a beginner. Will made sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and having a great time, adjusting to our varying skill levels with ease. Ashley, the first mate and owner of the company, was super friendly, bubbly, and passionate about what she does. As a woman-owned small business, you can feel the level of care and attention to detail in everything they do. Ashley's dedication to providing a top-tier experience really stood out, and it made the whole trip feel more personal. She made sure to include thoughtful touches that went beyond just the diving. The boats are state-of-the-art and updated, with warm water showers to rinse off after the dive, which was a nice luxury. They also provide reef-safe sunscreen to help protect the environment, which we really appreciated. One especially thoughtful touch was the leave-in conditioner for long hair--a small but impactful detail that made a big difference for us and left us all feeling a little better than they found us. Captain Greg was very confident and clearly experienced, which made us feel safe and secure the whole time. On top of the amazing diving experience, they have a fantastic selection of merch--fun, serious, and even a bit goofy! It was a nice touch, and we ended up buying some fun souvenirs. What really stood out to us, though, was the level of personalized service. Conch Republic Diving seems focused on making each trip unique and enjoyable, which really sets them apart from some of the larger companies around. They truly care about their guests and it shows in every aspect of their service. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better diving trip, and we highly recommend Conch Republic Diving for anyone looking for a more personal, top-quality dive experience with a business that truly loves what they do. We'll definitely be diving with them again on our next trip!
