We brought our two boys (10 & 14) to get their NAUI Junior Open Water diver certifications. As previous instructor and divemaster, we were very impressed and grateful with their patience, especially our chatty youngest on getting them comfortable with all their skills. Terry and Ron were their instructors - thank you so much. I absolutely loved returning to a childhood spot for their confined water (Jules Undersea Habit & Marine Lab). The boys loved that they got to stick their head inside the habitat as well as swim by and look in the windows. Returning to Molasses Reef where we used to visit often with our advance classes was very nostalgic to take the boys. My youngest was so excited to dive up close to real live coral reefs. We really appreciated the one stop shop of this dive center having their own boat since you were working with the same people through the whole process. Having not done instruction for quite a while ourselves, they were so nice & kind to share with us changes and updates. We look forward to coming back here for more family dive trips and look forward to bringing them to the wrecks we used to enjoy as well.

Larry, Erika, and the entire KLDC are such amazing people. I felt comfortable and at ease with everyone from the moment we met. They ensured everyone's safety while also making sure our dive experiences were top notch and memorable. We had 6 dives with them and also did our Nitrox Certification with them. We would have made 8 dives if the weather had cooperated. This is now our go to dive center even though we live in NC. We intend to come down multiple times a year to visit them. I can't recommend them enough.

We have been diving with Key Largo Dive Center for over a year now. We have also taken a dive trip with Captain Larry and crew. We’ve dove with a couple other dive centers in Key Largo and can honestly say that Key Largo Dive Center is above the rest from the boat, the equipment, the dive crew’s professionalism and attention to safety and knowledge of all things diving. We love diving with KLDC.

We had such a great time with this group! Our daughters just got certified and this was their first real dive. They were very patient with them (and us) both on the boat and under water. Definitely know what they are doing but made it fun. It is clear that they enjoy what they do for a living and that they are extremely knowledgeable. Definitely will look to use them next trip.

Family trip to Key Largo and wanted to set up a dive/snorkeling trip and these guys gave us a great experience. All the info and paperwork was so easy beforehand and all of our questions answered over the phone. Once there, were ready for us in the morning to set us up with the equipment we needed. Took us on an amazing 2 dive trip. We had an experienced diver, a novice diver and snorkel only and they accommodated us all. They provided water and snacks, and were very personable we had a great experience.

Our group booked with the Key Largo Dive Center and our experience could not have been better. Professional service combined with personal attention from Erica, Max (Dive Master) and Larry our group had an awesome time diving and snorkeling. Would recommend their service to anyone.

KLDC is beyond friendly, knowledgeable and professional. This was our first time diving in the Keys. Max and Terry have the best jokes. Captain Larry is professional and friendly while offering professional advice and information of dive gear, dive sites and safety. We always had a full boat and all gear was prepared each dive for all divers.

I don’t often write reviews but have to make an exception for these folks. From the initial contact to sign up for classes and the follow up with all our questions the team at Key Largo Dive Center was top-notch. Terry our instructor was the most patient person. We were not the fastest to learn the first day but he took the extra time we needed even changing up the lessons to keep us motivated. Wish he could have been my college teacher. We will definitely be going back to dive with them in the future.

Good operation. I've gone with them several times before, only they were located in a different plaza about a mile away. They used to be a '6 pack' operation, and now have a larger boat. New boat very functional and organized. Crew nice and friendly. Only complaint is when they were a smaller operation there was more "hands on" assistance with tank change overs. Overall I will continue to use them in the future.

Incredible experience! We have dove all over the world; brought our 5 young adult children to learn and dove several different places. Wow! What a great choice! From Erica in the office to Terri (best dive instructor in the keys!) to Capt Larry and the crew- it was a superb experience. I cannot recommend them more- if I could give 6 stars I would. Highly recommend.
