Agree with earlier post from Jenny B. This was our first open water dive after being certified, and we were a little anxious, as you might expect, not having an instructor leading us around. Southpoint was referred to us by our home dive shop (SeaVentures in Atlanta) and we were not disappointed! Staff in the shop were very helpful; crew... More

Southpoint Divers did a great job for these first time divers! This was our first open water dive after being certified. The captain and crew were very helpful in calming our first dive nerves and getting our equipment ready to go. We did 2 reef dives and saw amazing fish! The staff was very attentive to the new divers in... More

Southpoint Divers comes through again! What a great staff, super divemasters, and cool boat captains. We had two dives on the Vandy, one on the Cayman Salvage Master, and a nice reef dive. The dive team is so professional, making sure everything is safe, doing things right, but still having a good time and keeping everyone happy. Mitch, Zack, Mike,... More

This is the third "mancation" we have been diving with SP Divers. The retail staff are all extremely friendly, courteous & very helpful. The dive boat, the Phoenix, is a perfect diving vessel & well maintained. The captain, "Tropical Mike" is one of the most knowledgeable & personable boat captains we have come across. He is not only outstanding at... More

Henry Rose did a great job teaching me the PADI Open Water certification. Very patient and thorough going through each skill set, demonstrating it, then ensuring I could repeat it. Did the classroom work online and then two morning pools sessions with Henry and two afternoon open water sessions. Very rewarding experience, now I can go to more advanced dives... More

My boyfriend and I had a dive lined up with another Key West company but their boat broke down, so we called Southpoint Divers about three minutes before they were scheduled to leave for their 2:00 pm reef dive. Since we were nearby, fortunately they agreed to wait for us. The reef dive on the Sambo reef in the Florida... More

The dive shop was near the boat and both were near the waterfront area. Tropical Mike was helpful and friendly. They accomodated my special needs regarding my back. I highly recommend them if you are diving in Key West! More

Southpoint divers was an unexpected good time. We strolled into the shop while walking around and booked a Vandenberg dive for the following day. Shop person was easy and nice to deal with. The dive boat was big, the equipment new. Our captain and guides (Steve and Mitch) were friendly and accommodating. I vaguely remember reading some unfriendly remarks when... More
