    The Christ of the Abyss
    Ben S.

    Fun experience, great crew and staff, and a great amount of time on and in the water! We took off around 11:30 and pulled back into shore around 2:30 - out of this time we spent roughly 35 minutes traveling to and from and the rest was made available for exploring! Capt. Aaron and Emily did an awesome job of guiding our tour out to sea and along the way we visited two separate reef colonies, one of which included The Christ of the Abyss statue. We would highly recommend going with Silent World for any of your Key Largo water exploration journeys!

    I've only done three snorkeling excursions in my lifetime, but this was far and away the best of the bunch. To begin with their land side facilities were exceptional. Clean, air-conditioned bathrooms for changing, showers for washing off the salt, shaded seating areas, free water, free pop, free snacks, and reef safe Sunblock besides. The proprietor was an absolute sweetheart who made me feel very welcome from the moment I walked up to the counter. The captain (Mike) and first mate were also very friendly and made a real effort to make our excursion fun while also keeping us safe. The boat was in top-notch condition with well-maintained and comfortable seating areas. All snorkeling equipment is provided and all of it was in great condition. We had a beautiful sunny day for our time in the water, which afforded me beautiful views of the reef and the wildlife. Obviously your mileage will vary with this but my experience was absolutely wonderful. Not sure if I'll be back, but I wouldn't ever hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

    Awesome experience for reef snorkeling! Everyone that works here is super friendly and helpful. We actually went to the wrong place at first but when we called they were able to get us to the right location quickly and easily. When we arrived they were ready for us - helping us with equipment and familiarizing us with what to expect on the excursion. Preston was our boat captain and he was awesome!! Really dynamic and did a great job engaging with everyone on the tour. The two spots they dropped us in to snorkel were perfect. There were other boats in the general proximity of us but we were far enough away that it felt secluded and not overly crowded....they provided snacks water and sodas in between the stops too which was a nice touch. Preston talked a lot about the waters and reef preservation and you could tell he has a lot of passion for what he does. This company was very organized and had everything ready to go - if you're looking for a smooth boating trip I highly recommend!!

    Caption Dave and Kelly were great, they were fun and very informative. We took a snorkeling tour and loved it. It was beautiful and I can't wait to come back and do it again. It was cool to see Kelly dive down to retrieve someone's watch that fell off. Francisco & Jeannie TEXAS

    Going to dive site

    Great quick check in. Staff is knowledgeable and explained everything that would happen and amenities down to a T. Emily and Cpt Jeff great crew, dive sites were clear with plenty of fish. Equipment was great and fairly new. Would highly reccomend

    Waiting area complete with outdoor games

    Silent World is a Dive/Snorkeling Shop located on the Northern tip of Key Largo. Having taken many snorkeling trips in the past off Key Largo, I was expecting to see a rickety old dive shop, with an even older pontoon boat. When I pulled up to Silent World, I was greeted with a completely different experience. The dive shop was new, with excellent restroom facilities, the waiting area was a nice tiki hut with plenty of seating and outdoor games to play (Cornhole and giant Connect 4), and most importantly a new and well maintained vessel. Pricing was on par with every other dive shop in the area, but what sets this shop apart are the employees. Captain Rob and Eddie were great! We visited the Dry Rocks reef "Christ of the Abyss" and the Grechian Rocks. Captain Rob gave the history of both, knowledgeable of local sea life, and were extremely patient with less than coordinated passengers who lost gear. The Grechian Rocks were much more alive with sea life, and Capt. Rob advised he knew several other better places to snorkel than Dry Rocks that they visit. We went to two dive spots in the time most dive shops would have only done one. I highly recommend.

    I was clearly very nervous to make the jump, but the captain and crew were very comforting and accommodating.

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!
