Had a great time!!
Sonia Gellman Y.

This was lots of fun! We went to Grecian Rocks with our older kids. Beautiful snorkeling spot! Make sure you ask if it's a calm day at sea. We kicked out and it was but some ppl have had a rougher time. I opted not to being my 5 yr old but the 10 yr old and up were fine. We saw sting rays, barracuda, beautiful colorful fish! They let you use a noodle if you need one. There a little vest you get that you blow up yourself - not like a life vest.

What a great experience. The owners and my trainer are experienced, fun, kind, smart, etc. It was…read moremy birthday and they even bought me a cake! They all really went above and beyond my expectations and I couldn't be more happier that I chose them for my scuba diving training. Elara was my trainer and I'm soooo happy I had her. She made me feel safe, calm and confident. She is delightful and caring and made the whole experience fun. I'm coming back on a few days to do scuba diving and my boyfriend will snorkel. I trust them and would encourage my loved ones to go here for training or for a tour.

The initial booking with Michaela (one of the owners, along with T) was a breeze, and when I arrived on the first day, she set me up with rental gear that all fit great and worked flawlessly for all my dives. Once on the boat, the vibe from everyone was a perfect mix of laid-back, fun, professional, and safe, with clear communication about what was happening every step of the way. In the water, all of the guides did a great job making sure everyone was comfortable and able to fully enjoy the beauty of the different reefs and shallow wrecks we visited. As a brand new diver, I especially appreciated this, as it helped boost my confidence in the water and make me fall even more in love with diving. I also really like that they include underwater photography on each dive, as it let me stay in the moment and just focus on diving, while also having plenty of wonderful photos to look back on afterward. After each dive there was always plenty of fruit and Oreos (both original and the far superior Double Stuf, which all rational people prefer) to refuel. And back at the shop, T and the guides were very generous with their time and knowledge, talking with me about gear that I want to pick up in the near future. They even let me try out a back-inflate style BCD on my last dives, which I really enjoyed using. I can't recommend Sail Fish Scuba enough. Whenever I'm in Key Largo again, I look forward to diving with them again and picking up some quality gear from them as well. Trust me, if you want to dive in Key Largo, this is the dive shop you're looking for.

But despite the scale of the business, which I'm normally iffy about big operations like this, we had a great time. Our five master was so fun and energetic and down to earth. She found us some great sea life: nurse shark, sea turtles, lion fish, eel, barracuda, parrot fish, puffer fish and more. Our first dive was the Brentwood. It's the first wreck dive I've ever done and I loved it! There was so much sea life and the bullet holes in the wrech were so neat to sneak a peek into. The second dive was French reef and again so wonderful. We got to go into little caves and arches in the coral. It had been a while since I had to set up my own tank and BCD so I had to ask some questions to remember. They will help you out, but there is some labor on your end unless you ask. Overall a fantastic 2 tank dive in January in 75 degree water. I would definitely dive with rainbow reef again. Especially with how competitive the prices are!

These folks will give you concierge service and will take your BCD off of you and handle them for you in the water if you need that. They will do as little or as much as you request. Guides have good knowledge of dive sites and what marine life we would likely encounter. We have our own equipment so cannot comment on rental equip. Overall atmosphere was relaxed and fun while still managing to focus on safety.

I do wish they were better about inspecting their rental equipment. My OWD class saw a few non-safety-critical equipment issues like a mildly leaky BCD and torn wetsuits.

Keira is a pleasure to book with and work with to plan dive trips and she goes out of her way to make sure everyone has a pleasurable dive experience. Captain Jason is very safety forward and makes sure everyone gets on and off the boat securely. He is also so fun and always a pleasure to be on his boat. The instructors we dove with, KA, Tomos and Sonia were super patient and understanding of our different levels of experience. When we wanted to branch out and try new things like lobstering, they were very accommodating, and everyone was willing to work with us to be successful. I love that unlike at places in Key Largo such as Rainbow reef you can actually lobster and Spearfish with Islamorada, but they actually make sure you do it in a safe and responsible way which I really appreciate. I will definitely look forward to diving with this team again!

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!
