Staff was friendly. Equipment could use some updating and/or repair. Had a regulator seal bust at 30ft and then my air/depth gauges weren't working. The rum punch at the end was great! All-in-all, a good excursion.

Great family dive shop. Would dive again with Captain Slate and his fantastic team. It was awesome to see the sharks and yes the eel. Will definitely be back again with our friends. Thanks again for an awesome adventure.

Seriously the best dives I have had in ages!!! Dillion, Clay, and Sharkey are the absolute best and we loved every second! I cannot wait to come back and dive again with the crew!

Awesome dive, tons of fish! Ocean could have been friendlier though, a little choppy. Sharky and Clay ran a good tight ship, even got to see Clay do a swan dive at the dock!

Thanks for making my return to diving after 19yrs a painless experience, Cpt Dylan was excellent along with Sharky and Vito. My daughter took to diving straight away so also very grateful for making that easy. Hope to see you guys again next year.

I was wondering what restrictions you have in place for COVID -19 and if on the snorkelling boats you guys take one boat per party to follow social distancing. Also, how long are your snorkel trips?

Hey there!
We are wearing masks on the boat (if you wish) and we're disinfecting all rental gear and STILL practicing good hygiene!
Our snorkeling trips are morning and afternoon, approx. 4 hours total with visiting two GREAT sites!

Will you pick up and drop off at my hotel if I stay in the Key Largo area? If not, what are my options for transportation?

We went through Wild Lime Adventures. They picked us up, coordinated the outing with Captain Slate’s including lunch and delivered us back to near Hialeah, FL.

What are the requirements for SCUBA diving?

I also notice that many places want to see that you have done dived I the last two years, otherwise they want you to take a refresher course. I do not remember Captain Slate's policy. If is is a concern then contact the dive shop .

What is the best time of year to see the most fish? Would love his conservation/feeding/educational dive.

We have gone in the summer and fall and both times have been great for sea life. You see different critters at different times.
