Our hotel recommended South Beach Divers for our snorkel trip, but the experience is really for divers. There were about 16 divers and 4 snorkelers on the boat. The snorkelers saw ZERO fish, unless you include jelly fish... stinging jelly fish. I have snorkeled quite a bit and have never left without seeing something! The divers all seemed to have... More

we went a short notice withut any equipment or proof of certification. The staff were more than happy to sort this out for the 3 of us and we were of on the boat within the hour! We did 2 dives just of the coast. The first was forgettable - hence I can;t remember a thing about it. The second... More

Well my husband I were down in South Beach for vacation and decided we'd like to go snorkelling for something different then laying by the pool for a day. I called a few days before booking to ask about the jellyfish situation in Key Largo cause I knew they'd been bad in SoBe and the guy on the phone said... More

We are truly sorry that your day with us was not as expected. In the 15 years that we have been in business we have never had a jellyfish invasion like that. We too were caught off guard and it seems that every employee had there own solution to keep you protected. In light of this we are all in... More

Sometimes towards the end of summer our boats tend to fill up on the weekends. That said, we never put more people on the boat than what it is Coast Guard rated to. Currents are a part of mother nature and we do our best to avoid them. In some cases we have to choose an alternate location than what... More

The gentleman at the shop was very friendly and helpful. Our original trip was cancelled due to weather so he recommended we come back a few days later and go with them to Key Largo. He had highly recommended it so we rearranged a day on our one week trip to fit it in. This was actually our first snorkeling... More

We are sorry that your snorkel trip was less than expected. For 15 years we have taken snorkelers and divers together in Key Largo and the vast majority of our customers have an excellent time. Many of our customers, both divers and snorkelers, return year after year to do this trip with us. The reefs that we visit are in... More

If you are looking for a beginning (PADI-Discover Experience) to a more challanging scuba diving experience, I highly recommend South Beach Divers. They offer different packages, often to Key Largo. The waters were a bit rough (five miles out in the ocean in the barrier reef) so take sea sickness medicine even if you never get sea sick. My instructor,... More
