We booked with Rainbow Reef Dive Center as part of pre-Deployment Leave. The only thing we went off of as we booked were other postings off of Trip Advisor. It turned out wonderfully! Our only objectives for the trip were certifying the girlfriend and getting me a chance to dive Key Largo. RRDC was very helpful with the e-Learning PADI... More

Pre Dive- I recently did a dive trip with Rainbow Reef whilst away in Florida, the booking procedure was very easy and the staff were very friendly and even helped to book a hotel with a substantial discount. The Dive- This is where the service and safety levels fell. On the deep dive to the Spegal we did several swim... More

After some research I decided to use this dive centre because of the reviews they have received and because they provide a guided dive service which is rare in this part of the world unless you are willing to pay extra. I was disappointed that there was no sign of my booking on arrival, but I was able to check... More

Capt Neil, Meryl, and Kevin took great care of us the few days we were down there and we had a great time. My family and I go on dive trips around the world and Rainbow Reef definitely rates among the best dive operations out there. More

We had a great time diving with Rainbow Reef. All the staff are very attentive and we will be diving with them again when we head back that way. More

Thrilled with our experience with Rainbow Reef. My wife completed her PADI referral dives while I dove for fun and then we both dove together on the 3rd day. Instructors were flexible yet professional, and communicate well. A good rapport goes a long way these days and we were thrilled. I've interacted with a few dive shops around the country... More

I spent another fantastic couple of days with the fine folks at Rainbow Reef. Considering the bad experience I had diving in Cozumel, it makes Rainbow Reef shine even brighter. For some time now, they have been the best dive operator I've been with. They are safe and have tons of fun. I trust them so much that I have... More

My 14 YO daughter and I booked the "Discover SCUBA" program with Rainbow Reef and couldn't have enjoyed it more! Our instructor was knowledgeable and caring and we had a great time! After spending the morning learning the basics is our Hotel pool we were taken out to a reef for 2 30 - 40 minute dives. At no time... More

Rainbow Reef is a good dive service in Key Largo offering free dive guides for the navigation-impaired diver. (I admit that I like not having to worry about where the boat is.) More dives, less cost. Weather was quirky, so I didn't dive every day, but the days I went were great. Staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and excited about... More

Did a refresher class and a two-tank dive. The young instructors take their job very seriously. I hadn't been diving for a number of years so decided to take a refresher course. The instructor was very supportive and solicitous, helping me to become comfortable with the equipment again. On the two-tank dive the dive masters and the boat crew were... More
