Peter is an experienced diver and boatsman, and knows the waters of the Keys very well. We dove with him two days, a total of four dives - two to the Vandy and two to the reefs. Peter dove as the dive master on the Vandenberg dives, and did a good job in creating a dive plan, describing what we... More

It was choppy and the current was strong..but one you decent the line...things just improved...we discovered the center of the wreck (inside/out). I was very lucky to dive with Peter and only one other dive buddy....that's as private as it's gets! I have over 130 dives logged & I recommend to be fit & experience and bring enough energy to...

2 of us did a 2 tank dive with Peter, the divemaster and owner. We weren't expecting to dive this trip and didn't have any gear with us. Peter accommodated us at the last minute and took us to the Vandenberg wreck site and then let us play around on a shallow dive on the Key West reef. Conditions were... More

Captain Peter makes some pretty good diving into THE awesome diving experience of Key West, FL. For a group of four divers ranging from 400-ish dives to 4 dives, Capt. Pete set up an itinerary and timeline that not only met some very demanding customer expectations from a very diverse diving crowd, but exceeded almost any expectation of personal service... More

My highest recommendations go to Bonsai Diving. On time, professional, knowledgeable, and great fun to dive with! Have dove with many people in many locations and haven't found a better divemaster! Took us to beautiful locations and allowed us ample time to dive without feeling pressured or rushed! Will definitely dive Bonsai again! Kate Schafer More

My wife and I, just certified in June, took two dive trips with Bonsai over a three-day span in August. Although, the captain, Peter, has a small boat, earlier in the week we went out in Key Largo on a large boat with 30 divers and couldn't sit down for most of the trip. My wife wanted to use Bonsai...

Went diving yesterday with Bonsai Diving. We dove the Vandenburg and a local reef. Peter and Vince are both very knowledgeable divers and great hosts. Conditions were not perfect for the Vandenburg but were still good. It was an excellent dive and Peter and Vince are very professional and know the dive site very well. Peter chose a nice reef...

When shopping around my girlfriend and I finally decided to use Bonsai Diving to view the Vandenberg as they offered a free tour guide and pictures which made their prices competitive. Our trip was to consist of a Vandenberg dive followed by a reef dive. We arrived at the docks to find Peter, the captain, and Vinnie, his teenage son... More

My apologies to the two unhappy divers. We try our best to please everyone but in this case failed. With a full boat there is not as much room, but everyone had a seat and appeared comfortable. We provide one or two dive masters for free on the first dive to promote safety and to take free photos when conditions... More

What brought us to Bonsai is that they take no more than 6 people out. We went in and met Peter, the owner who is one of the most knowledgeable and environmentally sound individuals I have ever met. We booked a snorkeling trip with him, my husband, myself and our 12 year old daughter. We met him and his son... More
