I would highly recommend Tracy and the level 1 free dive course for experienced and inexperienced…read moredivers. This class teaches you necessary skills and safety for yourself and others, applicable for anyone on the water. Taking the FII freediving class with Tracy was incredible! She's patient, professional, and explains everything so clearly. I learned the Frenzel equalization method, doubled my breath hold, and reached new depths I never thought possible--all while feeling safe and supported. Tracy's passion for the ocean is contagious, and she makes the whole experience fun and inspiring. During the class I was able to hit my personal best breath hold in a safe environment and was not aware I was capable. I also watched her help other classmates overcome their issues with equalization so they could hit a PB depth. Highly recommend Freedive Key West!

We went diving in Big Pine and Marathon, 4 dives total. They were some of the best I've ever done…read more We saw sharks, barracuda, lobsters, giant groups, eagle rays, as well as abundant other colorful fish. The reef was vibrant and the water calm. What a great day. Our dive master Jennifer took care of everything. All we had to do was jump in and enjoy the view. I would definitely do it again.

We went diving with Captain Hook's Key West over Fourth of July weekend and had a great time doing…read moretwo reef dives! The dive shop was organized and the process through the morning went smoothly. For a 9AM boat time, we got to the ship just before 8AM. The waiver process, just like the process to register for the dives, was smooth and well rehearsed. Gear issue and transportation to the boat were seamless. All the folks in the shop, on the boat, and diving with us were so friendly, informative, and personable, and most importantly made us feel safe! Disclaimer: I'm a super novice diver so my only goals were to be safe, see some fish, and reinforce the basics of scuba. All three of these goals were achieved with the help of Captain Hooks! Once on the boat, we got all gear issued and did two 45-min reef dives. Wildlife was great, gear was great, and so was our dive master! Truly exactly what I was looking for. I would gladly sign up for more dives with this team!

My fiancé and I booked online with Lost Reef Adventures for our first ocean dives. We were…read morecertified back in October in a fresh water quarry. The day we went, the waves were pretty choppy. I got in the water and panicked. Kelly, our guide, expertly made sure I got back to the boat. Spencer, our dive master, helped me up and reassured me the whole time. I got to spend the next couple hours hanging out with Spencer and robin (the captain), which honestly, was a great time. What I loved is how committed they were to safety, and also making me feel valid in my decision to abort the dives. My partner successfully completed two dives and had a fantastic experience with Kelly guiding him. If/when we're back in key west again for diving, we will definitely book with Lost Reef again!!

Lost Reef Adventures...the worst dive shop that I have encountered in 30 years of scuba diving…read more The negatives: The owner, Nick, was extremely unfriendly to the point of being hostile. He had a serious attitude problem and had no idea what the concept of "customer service" meant. He just stares at you, waiting for you to say something...it's really creepy. After telling us to show up at 7:00 for the morning dives, no one from the shop bothered to show up until 7:45. The crew was only okay. The dive master acted like this was an annoyance to be taking us out on a dive...like he just wanted to get this over and done with. He just swam around for 45 minutes until it was time to re-board. The boat pilot told us, "We're not leaving the dock until you get your gear ready." There was one guy (with a mullet and ear rings) that was pretty cool and very helpful. The equipment was fair, but had some issues. The first tank that I hooked up to only had 1200 psi, turns out that 1/4 of the tanks onboard had previously been used and not removed or refilled. The fact that they all had the rubber covers on the valve (indicating a fresh tank) made it very confusing as to which tank to use. My dive buddy's regulator was inoperable. The dives were fair at best. I guess Key West really isn't that great for sea life when compared to the USVI or Belize, buy the dive master didn't even bother to point out sea life. EVERY dive I've been on in 30 years had a dive master that took pride in his/her job and did their best to point out - things to see - during the dive. I told the travel office on the base at Sigsbee not to recommend them. There are vastly superior shops like Southpoint Divers and Captain's Corner that will give you a much more pleasant experience. I dove with Southpoint on all of my subsequent dives in Key West. The positives: The boat was great - lotsa space for everyone, safety equipment was plentiful, and the safety briefing was well done. As I mentioned before, one of the crew (lives in Roatan, Honduras and was visiting his daughter) was very helpful but unfortunately, he was the exception. The BCDs, masks, and fins were fine. There's not really anything else positive that came out of my experiences. Do yourself a favor and use one of the other dive shops in Key West.

Great charter ship for actual SCUBA. Did not use them for the SNUBA, but based on the way they ran…read moretheir boat, I'm sure it is a great experience. We ended up using them based in a few recommendations to dive the Vandenberg on a Sunday morning in Key West. They weee very accommodating and the setup process was simple. Waivers were done digitally, so everything was set once we got to the boat. Parking and directions were simple, which says a lot in Key West. Once we boarded, they helped us every step of the way. The dive briefing was thorough, the captain did a great job, and our guide/DM Scott was very effective. We did a two tank dive, so the second dive was a shallow reef. Visibility wasn't great, but we made the most of it and had a fantastic second dive as well. I haven't dive with all of the operators down in KW, but I would have no problem recommending divers to SNUBA. Thanks for the great dive and team!

Wish they could offer more to see at the reef -- kind of a let down. Few fish, not much other sea life, and lots of seaweed.
