Dive operator in Key West

jmaa · Apr 10, 2008

Hi everybody,

I'am a French and fresh Open Water (last year) and I would like to get by PADI Advance in Key West and do some additional dives during a one week stay there in May June.

I am looking around for a good and reliable dive operator / instructor... I am not necessarily looking for a big organization.

Sub-tropic seems to be well-regarded. At least, seemed to be. Any recent news on it?

Do you know other operators?

Many thanks in advance for you answers.

Cheers,

Jerome

I've used Captains Corner and they've served me well over the years!

Recent news on Subtroic?

a month or so ago they ran their main boat up on a reef and broke the keel. clearly an accident. I'd check to see if they have their boat operational first...

see http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/florida-conch-divers/219710-subtropic-glad-no-one-hurt.html

I used them a few years ago and had a positive experience with them and would use them again though.

I prefer to use Southpoint on Duval St. Found them to be very professional.

I believe I saw that Southpoint had moved to across the street from the Hyatt, where their boat is docked. I second this recommendation, I did my AOW with them a couple years ago.

Yep, they're now on Front Street...

Stay away from Subtropic, they are a total mess. They are left with thier small boat and pack on 12 or so divers and they do not have a steady crew.
Southpoint Divers is very professional, very experienced, knowledgable crew and have the best boat in Key West.

Many, many thanks for your help. I guess Southpoint Divers should be the winner!

Let's hope they will reply to my email.

Cheers,
