Sea Dwellers is an EXCELLENT dive center in the keys that I would highly recommend. I travelled to Key Largo from Germany, and they took great care of my family. Tony started by coming up with a whole package for us, including getting my daughter her Junior Open Water and my son his Junior Advanced Open Water. He also scheduled us up for 3 more trips for our time here. Once we arrived, he and Jazmine took great care of us in the shop, changing our schedule a few times due to sea conditions. Seeing that my daughter needed a personal touch to get her comfortable, Erica (Ops manager) personally stepped in to make sure she was completely at ease for her course. Emily was my son’s AOW instructor. Her amazing attitude and safety first enabled my son to complete his AOW and Enriched Air certs. Beau (instructional manager) assisted me with gear needs we had and provided me some great advice for future dives. The rest of the staff were top notch. Instructor Ryan also assisted with my daughter’s training, doing an amazing job with her confined pool time. On the boat, their staff also excelled. Captain Merlin was exceptional, really giving my daughter words of encouragement when we had a rough day at sea. Captain Kate only took us out once, but she too was great when we had another rough day. Mates Ryan and Sebastian ensured we were taken care of as well when it came to moving around the boat safely. The seas didn’t always cooperate with us, but the staff at Sea Dwellers was so flexible, knowledgeable and understanding. I see why they are the oldest dive shop in the area and 2nd oldest in the world. Having experienced dive shops all over the world, I have to say my diving experience with them was the best I have had in my 24 years of diving. Thanks you Sea Dwellers!!
