The crew here really stands out in these reviews. Keira gets multiple shout-outs for being welcoming and remembering repeat visitors, while instructors like Andrei, Tomos, and guides like Charlton consistently earn praise for their teaching style and attentiveness. Captains Jason, Jessi, and Pete all get recognition for running smooth operations. People particularly appreciate how the staff adjusts to different comfort levels, which matters whether you're newly certified or getting back into diving after a break. The operation itself seems well-organized. The booking process is straightforward, boats are well-maintained, and gear storage is available for multi-day trips. The location at Three Waters Resort offers convenient marina access. Divers and snorkelers alike report great visibility and sites, with some calling it better than other tropical destinations. There's one notable complaint about certification restrictions that seems inconsistent with what other mixed-certification groups have experienced there, and another vague safety concern, but the overwhelming majority describe feeling well cared for and comfortable throughout their time on the water. Many are repeat customers who specifically mention coming back trip after trip.
We headed down to the Keys to do some diving with my newly certified son last weekend. We dove with Islamorada Dive Center and it was wonderful. The boat/dive crew were amazing! My son got to experience his first ocean diving in a warm welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately for my son, his checkout dives were in a northeast quarry. The boat is well equipped and very nice. The shop is great and has lots of gear as well. We will definately dive with them again!!
