Silent World is the best! - This team of people were invested in our experience. Great adventure and our best day of snorkeling the week we were there. I would repeat this visit multiple times! Absolutely worth it.

This was a very cool... - This was a very cool experience I do recommend though if you've never been snorkeling if you can purchase a snorkel and mask we got ours at the family Dollar for $14 it's just eased my anxiety also watched a couple YouTube videos just so you have a feel of the equipment but not necessary you go on to sites I only went to the first one second I wish was a little bit more calmer it would have been cool to see Christ of the abyss but it still was a very very nice experience the captain Aaron and second hand Emily were great make you feel that ease and very comfortable I highly recommend this experience

Our family really enjoyed... - Our family really enjoyed snorkeling on both reefs and riding aboard Calypso’s with Captain Mike and Emily. Every part of the experience was great. From check in to fitting to understanding our gear and knowing where to go snorkeling to the play list on the boat these guys were pros.

Enjoyable day for all abilities - A wonderful day started with very accommodating staff in the office site. Drinks and chips were plentiful between snorkeling 2 beautiful reefs- saw a reef shark and a large turtle! Dive master Alex and Capt Mike took care of a large variety of snorkelers and gave us the freedom to explore, but I appreciated their careful attention to protecting the reef. They both have amazing positivity!

Snorkeling - Really nice trip. Everybody was awesome and incredibly helpful. Captain Mike and Emily were wonderful! A little choppy out there today, but visibility was still excellent! Would definitely book here again.

A must do event - We decided to spontaneously book a snorkle trip on our last day in Key Largo. It ended up being the highlight of the trip. The staff and crew were absolutely amazing. The day was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Great experience! - Had an amazing time. There were lots of colorful fish at the Christ of the Abyss stop, and even more at Horseshoe reef. The captain and first mate did a great job instructing and taking care of everyone. The team at the dive center made checking in and getting fitted for gear a breeze.

Nice area to experience once. - If you are looking for beach time, the keys are not your best choice. Enjoyed a snorkeling trip, visiting the different shops and roadside attractions, ate at very good restaurants. Key West has its charm. Checked it from my list! Would I go back? I don’t think so… unless just to go to Dry Tortugas National Park. Transportation tickets sell out months in advance.
