We joined Capt Slate on his Creature Feature. The boat was crowded and there was only "comfortable" sitting for 6 people. Unfortunately there were 12 on the dive. Seeing the Shark and Groupers was neat but the staff seemed very confused. We did purchase a DVD of the trip but have never received it - even after going back to... More

We were in Ft Lauderdale for a week and found a brochure for Captain Slate's Atlantis Dive Center. So we made the hour and half drive thinking this would be a great place to snorkel and they had a glass bottom boat (if you could call it that. We had snorkeled in Ft Lauderdale and it was awesome so we... More

We were booked (more like bamboozled) onto a trip with Captain Slates at the unofficial visitors center in Key Largo. The official visitors center turned out to be a bit further down the road and I wish we had found it first for some impartial advice on the best dive companies in town. We were taken out on a smallish... More

My family and I have been diving all over the world and wanted to dive in Key Largo. The staff was friendly and the prices were reasonable. We got the military discount which was a generous 15%, in total it cost a little over $100 per person for two dives and all equipment rentals. Since we were going on a... More

Plan to do the Creature Feature...it is amazing. Sharks, grouper and barracuda swim close by and you can pet the shark and grouper. Diving with Captain Slate has been on my wish list for a long time and it surpassed my expectations. A very professional team. More

I came down a few weekends ago from NYC with a few friends not knowing what to expect and truly had the time of my life! Our first day there we went snorkeling and saw incredible fish and wildlife underwater. The second day we actually did the Creature Feature and I was able to pet sharks, it was beyond unreal!...

Forget the other dive centers in Key Largo, Capt Slates is the way to go. Adam was the instructor for my three kids as they completed their check-out dives. Very professional, very frendly and very helpful. I never felt uncomfortable with him watching /instructing my kids. Every picture we took, Adam was in teh back ground keeping a close eye... More

I first started diving about 20 years ago. This was my first reef snorkeling trip. The water, fish, and reef were fantastic. We decided to try hitting the reef on our last day in Key Largo, and Pennekamp was all booked up so I started Googling dive centers. Captain Slates's answered the phone on the first ring. The woman I... More
