About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Benjamin B0 contributionsHighly recommend!!!So many fishies and wildlife!! Out of the other two times I’ve dove in the keys, this experience has been my favorite. Captain Brad, Shelby and Layla (the beautiful brindle pup) created the most welcoming experience. They made it super fun, laid back and easy to get out on the water and explore the underwater world. Michael was my instructor for my refresher, he made it fun and enjoyable while also covering everything needed to dive safely. Special shout out to Shelby, Captain Brad, Layla, Yasmin, Mallory, Amanda, Captain Bob, Captain Killian and the rest of the crew for creating a fun and adventurous dive.Written October 29, 2024
- jesshilll20180 contributionsGreat Dive CompanyThis is a great dive company. As we all know, some are good and some are great...This one is great. Great customer service and equipment. Having dived all over the world, I also gotta say that Florida is way under rated. Great sea life! We will be back.Written October 26, 2024
- keokis5380 contributionsGreat Experience/ Highly RecommendI had a great experience with the Silent World Dive Center! I was able to get SCUBA open water certified in 2 days (did the online pre-work before hand). Michael, my instructor, was very patient and encouraging. Looking forward to going back and exploring the Keys further. Highly recommend!Written October 23, 2024
- inflocloud0 contributionsA knowledgeable, kind and fun Crew to learn and dive with…Mallory, Michael and the Crew at Silent World are top notch. We had a small travel/dive window in the Upper Keys with high winds in the forecast… They went above and beyond arranging PADI Refresher courses and dives to accommodate as best and as safely as possible all factors considered. They are a knowledgeable, kind and fun Crew to learn and dive with!Written October 22, 2024
- Scott W0 contributionsCame for certification, stayed for great service! Go diving with them! JUST DO IT!Silent World was amazing to work with! Shelby and Mallory were so helpful coordinating on the phone prior to arrival. Michael and Ashlyn were amazing guides in the water! Captain Killian and crew did a fantastic job on the boat. We had a couple of days of bad weather that kept us from diving but they took care of everything! Everyone at Silent World is very customer focused; they do everything they can to make your vacation relaxing. We’ll be back!Written October 18, 2024

Friendly professional crew. Killian was especially helpful and very knowledgeable. The person who I talked to when I made my reservation was extremely helpful (sorry I can’t remember her name). The whole experience from checking in to getting off the boat was great. There was plenty of time to snorkel on the two reefs and the captain ( sorry I forgot his name) pointed out a turtle before and while we were in the water.

After our original flights were cancelled we ended up rescheduling this tour and were lucky enough to get Captain JoeL (not Joe people) and first mate Art. They were extremely knowledgeable and had lots of tips to share, I highly recommend listening. The only slightly annoying part of the trip was adults that couldn’t seem to listen to basic instructions. Lucky for them Joel and Art exhibited an amazing amount of patience and ensured everyone had a great time.

My Mother and I took a trip to the keys to do some snorkeling. The trip we took with Silent World in Key Largo was fantastic! The front staff was great and THANKFULLY talked us into wetsuits! Then we seamlessly went to pick up our equipment which was a very smooth and quick process. Once on the ship, the crew members carefully explained all the equipment to be sure everyone understood (even the shy ones). After arriving at the first snorkeling location, the captain told us the best spots to visit. Although it stormed pretty bad earlier that day, the snorkeling visibility was AMAZING. We were able to see soo many fish! The crew memebers were extremely helpful with managing the equipment and answering any questions.

Our family had a great time aboard the Encounter with Captain Joel and first mate/rescue swimmer Art! They were extremely knowledgeable and offered great tips I had not received from others despite being snorkeling various times when I was younger. I especially appreciated Captain Joel’s no-nonsense orientation with clear/direct instructions designed to keep everyone safe so we could all have a good time.
This was our first time snorkeling with our daughters, our youngest of whom was a bit scared. Art took the time to speak with her individually and showed her pictures of all the incredible fish she might see. I truly appreciated this gesture.
We were fortunate that we got to see the statue of Christ of the Abyss during our snorkeling tour - only one of three in the world!

We booked this snorkel trip through Trip Advisor. 2 of the 3 in our family have never
Snorkeled. Our experience started at check in, the lady that checked us in and gave safety briefing (don’t remember her name) was awesome! She was very welcoming and informative, I figured at that point we were gonna have a good trip. Upon boarding boat we met Capt. John and Emily, I particularly enjoyed Capt. John’s dry sense of humor and made the several more safety and instructional briefs enjoyable, Emily jumped in and helped with some humor as well. They were very attentive and helpful as us new snorkeler’s entered the water and gave good tips on how to navigate flippers, mask and noodles. Boat was clean and in good mechanical condition as well as being a Catamaran hull made ride very smooth and comfortable. Overall, a very good and enjoyable trip and would recommend them for snorkeling trip

The Captain and his First Mate were 100% Awesome. Had a fabulous time on the boat ride listening to the Captain’s musical selection, his safety briefing (funny), and then hearing the First Mate’s snorkeling instructions. First Class operation all the way, from beginning to end.

I loved seeing so many different kinds of fish and the submerged Jesus of the Abyss statue. Our Captain Robert and First Mate Eddie were great. They taught us everything we needed to know and everyone had a great time!

My family has been on numerous similar excursions and the management of this excursion set this company, Captain Mike, and deckhand Ashlyn apart. This excursion maintained timeliness, provided great instructions, and effectively managed gear so participants were prepared to enter the water immediately upon arrival at the reef, the boat was gorgeous, well-organized, and clean. This excursion was a great way to enjoy the beautiful reefs in a safe, calm and relaxed environment. Highly recommend it - Captain Mike and Ashlyn were on point!

We had a great time! Definitely bring a water camera to photo all the beautiful sea life. In September the water temperature was warm and on the day we went very calm making it easy to see everything we wanted.
