This is my second time I've come down to Key Largo with Silent World. Nice smaller boat with limited people and room to move around. (no cattle cars here!) Oliver is a great Captain, and Jonathan a great help. The vis was limited, so the second dive we went out further. Went on the Spiegel Grove later, and as a... More

Skip to the bottom if you want to know why this is a 3 star review bordering on 2 stars instead of a 4 star review. Last summer I sought out a dive shop that was going to emphasize diving over snorkeling (divers and snorkelers have very different priorities and propensities to get seasick which can cut a trip short...

I like that they visit the Speigel Grove so much. Its a great dive and I want to go back again to find that basket ball court and to see if that hallway underneath goes forward to the bow section. They take all divers and work well with tech divers - better than anywhere else I have been. I'll go... More

this shop is my type of place.....it seems they specialize in the serious divers. a certain amount of respect was given to me as an advaced diver who just doesn't get to go that often. i was in the keys with family as a lone diver and had a 1 day window. when calling around prior i got everything from...

Hi Steve, thanks for the review and sorry we couldn't get you out to the Spiegel. Yes, your free trip voucher is valid and can be used at any time, despite the situation being beyond our control. We had a group on the boat who were diving over multiple days. They changed their schedule around as they wanted to get... More

I spent two weeks in Key Largo to dive with Silent World in order to complete my training as a divemaster and do some technical diving on the side. The first thing I noticed when I arrived on my first Sunday was the quality of the gear and cleanliness of the dive shop itself. Chris, the owner, keeps the shop... More

I choose Silent World because, weather permitting, I wanted to go to the Spiegel Grove and I did not want to be on a large boat with many divers. Silent World promised and delivered. We had a short delay getting out of the marina. The captain's briefing was good, dive plans made sense, and the weather was perfect. We only... More

Travelled to Key Largo with friends and family in December & we were reccommended to Silent World by an acquaintence back home. I did some research on them and saw on their website that they have smaller boats, very reasonable prices, and they seemed like an all around good dive shop. Myself and two others in our group are new... More

My brother and I went out with Silent World a couple days ago. We were staying in Miami and thought this would be a fun day trip. We both were recently certified (within the past 6 months). This was our first dive since our lessons and we were both really excited. I did my research, called the center twice, confirmed... More

I am extremely sorry that your experience didnt meet your expectations. The sea has been very rough over recent weeks and some of the sites have had reduced visibility. On this particular occasion, the captain elected to go to an 'inner reef' where the waves would be lower and fewer customers would get sick. As the visibility was lower than... More

This customer had complimentary dive vouchers from 2009. I decided not to run the trip after all the other customers cancelled due to bad weather. The customer elected not to reschedule their dive and instead asked for 2 free t-shirts. Unfortunately during extended periods of bad weather (such as we experienced over the last 5 weeks,) people start to cancel... More
