The conditions here are the reason Key Largo trains more divers than anywhere else in the continental United States.
Living coral barrier reef
The continental United States has exactly one, and it starts a few miles off our dock inside a protected state park.
Warm water all year
Comfortable in a 3mm wetsuit whichever month you book, so training is never cut short by cold.
We run every day
Courses start daily rather than on a fixed monthly calendar, so your certification fits your trip.
Per instructor, maximum
Small enough that skills get repeated until they are comfortable, not until the clock runs out.
