Sundiver Snorkel Tours

As someone metioned already the crew was horrible and never gave any instructions or help. As soon as they stop they check the water and go up the stairs and hang out. If you ask them any question the instructor says it could be a fish in very rude manner. They hardly care whether you get to see something or you don’t.

The captain and first mate were both very helpful and knowledgable. The boat trip out to the reef went smoothly. Snorkeling was perfect, so many colorful fish, sting rays, jelly fish, and a shark.

Really enjoyed the waters — were very rough though, lots of. The crew was good, did a quick briefing examining about the reef and blue waters. We were 13, almost everyone got stung by the brown jelly fishes. As per the crew there were too many of them that day. I wish the crew gave us some tutorials on how to snorkel as it was my first time.

We bought our tickets at the Sundiver Station the day before. On the snorkling day we went to the harbour (3 miles south from the Sundiver Station) where we checked in and had the possibility to dress for the sea. Prior to boarding the boat captain Ken gave a short briefing which continued on the boat. We reached the reef in about 15 minutes and after a short briefing we jumped in the water. Matt the boatsman kept a good eye on everyone and was a fast responder if needed. On the reef we saw lots of fan and brain coral, various fish, a lobster, a stingray, a nurse shark and small schools of barracuda. Captain Ken made it very clear that touching anything in the water was prohibited; these reefs are very sensitive and the slightest touch can damage them, please keep this in mind.

It was our first time snorkeling… and we can’t swim. The captain and first mate were very nice and patient. They allowed us to explore but also warned us about the waves. Since we aren’t strong swimmers or know how to swim, it was better for us to stay closer. Despite being closer, we were able to see a lot of fish and corals. I also had my go pro and it dropped! Fell off my selfie stick. I felt hopeless due to the waves being so strong, it could have carried my go pro away. Lucky me, it fell right to the bottom, the water so was clear so I was able to find it by looking down and searching. After several attempts of trying to get it, the instructor, I think his name is Mike, came to my rescue! They were very patient, especially with new snorkelers. Even though they were quiet, they were actually funny.

The Sundiver tour was worth every penny, excellent set-​up and attentive service from First Mate Scott. The tour is for all levels of expertise, you can just show up for the quick boat ride to the reef and then venture out on your own. I saw plenty of colorful fish and coral, watch out for the jellyfish! The crew of the Sundiver thinks of everything, from water cups on the boat to a bucket of Anti-​Fog for your face mask. A++ service from Sundiver, thanks Scott!

This place was great!!! They were very easy to deal with and great to talk to!!! Highly recommend!!! We had some waves at our 3:00 tour but was really easy to snorkel in!!!

We just finished snorkeling. The staff were amazing! Wonderful! They have free ice water and sell sodas for a $ 1.00.

My husband decided to take me on a snorkeling tour for my birthday and we just happened to come across this place. I am so glad we did! When we first got there Deb greeted us with a big smile! She gave us advice, recommendations and put me at ease, as I am afraid of large open water.
When we got out to our destination (which took our Captain Ken 14 minutes) and got in the water, I quickly realized that I was not the strong swimmer that I thought I was: /​Matt, the instructor, was there to the rescue with a noodle (you know, the child’s floating device??)!! If it wasn’t for this piece of equipment I would not have gotten out of the boat!
This is definitely a must when you visit key largo. The coral reef and marine life is unbelievable! We saw fish of many colors, jelly fish (not the dangerous kind), a sting ray and barracudas! Someone on the trip also seen a nurse shark (not really a shark it’s a part of the whale family)! This company is very affordable compared to other tour companies in the area. For us two it was $ 85 for 3 ½ hours!
All in all, great customer service and a great experience!

Wish I could give them less stars. They lied to us about the stand by times, and then when there wasn’t enough space for us on the boat told us to rush over to another place that had space for 3pm. Turns out they were lying– the other place doesn’t even have a 3pm boat! I called them to figure out what had happened, and they gave me a number to call (which was disconnected). I never received an apology, even though they had my family running around Key Largo for 3 hours for nothing! Do not trust this place!!!

This was a great experience for my family and I. There were 4 of us. 2 adults and 2 children (8 and 12). The crew was extremely informative, helpful, and PATIENT.
We had a large tour of people which I am sure makes their job more difficult. They did it perfectly.
The spot they took us was fantastic, and we had every bit of an hour and ½ to bob around. Lots of sea life to see.

I had an amazing time. The crew was friendly and I felt comfortable with them. The trip to the reef was short, about 15mins. The only thing I was nervous about was the life vest. I’m not a strong swimmer and wanted to make sure I’d float. I was able to inflat the vest and after that I was very comfortable and confident. The reef was beautiful and full of beautiful fish. The fish are not afraid of you, they are so use to we humans swimming in their territory. I didn’t attempt to go deeper but I did try to touch a fish since they were so close but they got away too quickly. The only thing I would change is the extra charge for the equipment. I thing it should be included in the total cost.

If you are a beginner, this is an excellent snorkeling excursion for you. As a Miami native, I have spent most of my life in and on the water so I have been on many snorkeling trips in my lifetime, but what I forget, and was reminded of today, is that I fall into the minority and most people around the world have snorkeling on their bucket list, not something that they did just about every weekend as a kid.
As someone who resides in Miami Beach, I have turned into a hotel for my out of town friends. Other then the excellent restaurants, great nightlife, and of course beautiful beaches, I forget that I can be in Key Largo in an hour and 20 minutes and feel like I went on vacation to the Caribbean and snorkel in coral reefs with tropical fish. #blessed
When I was entertaining an out of town guest, with the weather report clear for the day, we drove down to Key Largo and went snorkeling for the afternoon. Although my guest was a Marine, she had never been snorkeling in her life so snorkeling we went. We found Sundivers online and called to reserve a spot. We showed up at their location off of route 1, paid a bargain price of $ 34.00 plus $ 7.00 equipment rental, and were given instructions to the boat and dock at the Key West Inn (3 minute drive).
Ken, the boat captain, was an pro. His captain skills were exquisite. The instructor, Matt, was excellent at explaining equipment and snorkeling technique and also very entertaining and down to earth. Matt even checked and adjusted all of the snorkelers equipment before exiting the boat to snorkel. Exceptional customer service!
Both Ken and Matt were extremely personable and wanted to make sure all of the guests got all of the photo op’s taken care of by doubling as photographers. Their commentary was very entertaining during the 30 minute trek to the reef.
My bf and I are water brats so we knew before we even drove down to Key Largo that the conditions were not ideal due to the wind, but our first timer was excited and motivated so off we went. Other then the bf and I, everyone else seemed to be beginners on the excursion and had an excellent time and stayed off off the boat for the full time allotted. After being pushed around by the current, semi murky water, and no motivation to free dive due to the conditions (we were coasting on the top) we retired to the boat but we still had an excellent day out.
I was very impressed with how nice, clean, and sanitized the equipment was. They would even wash it again right in front of you.
After the excursion was over, they have a shower, bathroom, and hose right at the dock to rinse off.
I highly recommend this charter for beginners/​children and anyone that isn’t the greatest/​not very comfortable on the water. You will have a blast! For more intermediate/​advanced/​divers, you might be very bored.
Excellent afternoon excursion from Miami Beach. Great alternative and rec for out of town guests as far as something to do while you are at work.

They are located within John Pennekamp State Park. The crew is very nice and helpful. They have everything you need to feel safe and comfortable in the ocean. There is drinking water on the boat so you won’t get dehydrated. They take you around 8 miles off the shore to a beautiful reef where you spend a couple of hours enjoying the coral and fish. The life jackets make it very easy to swim for that long. The cost is around $ 40 with rental gear. Totally with the boat ride, swimming with the fish, and enjoying the coral.

Pretty great time. We went out as a group of three we really wanted to do the noon but when we called and asked they said it was full and the 9 am wasn’t going on. Luckily the 3 was perfect but if we had not called ahead we could and would have been stuck there waiting for the 3. They tell you to come at 215 at the latest. You pay for tickets at the first location and then go to the second location where the boat is. Lot of sitting around until you go especially if you don’t get a wet suite. The reef was really nice and colorful. It is very shallow and hard to swim directly over it without feeling a little claustrophobic. If you are the type of person that has a hard time relaxing don’t go into the center of the reef. It was hard for me at first to relax enough to just float on my back on the water. You can and will but only if you can relax enough.

The 1^st mate and captain were drinking beer while we were in the water. Really? Is that even legal?
They show this as a snorkel tour; but the only thing they do is rent you gear; take you out on a boat; and leave you to yourself.
For someone snorkeling for the 1^st time; there was no «how-​to». The only instruction we got was how to put on the mask; not the breather in when the eater fills in; and how to inflate the life vest. Thats it. I expected more after paying $ 45. I could easily do this by renting a boat and gear myself.
Some people in my boat had no clue how to proceed and just had to sit around the boat the whole time while the crew were chatting.
The captain and 1^st mate were very rude. Also, as mentioned, they were drinking beer.
The corals were great; which was the saving grace and saw some nice jellyfish as well.

Myself and 4 of my friends arrived in
Key Largo without snorkeling tour
reservations. We attempted to walk into
another tour office and were quickly told
they had no room unless we wanted to
go snorkeling at 5 pm (it was 8 am). We
managed to find Sundiver tours on Unilocal
and called. The woman who answered
was not only friendly but very helpful,
she advised us that the 3 pm tour the
way to go because it was not as hot
outside, more wild life to see, the seas
weren’t expected to be as rough, and
gave us directions to the ticket booth at
the Keys Inn. Once we arrived MARY
was fantastic, she was approachable
and friendly and gave us some tips on
how to kill some time while we waited
for the 3 pm trip. Mary was also nice
enough to let us know that we could
bring food and drinks in our cooler as
long as we didn’t bring glass (including
beer) which was not an option at some
of the other tours we contacted. I
believe her words were «There’s
nothing better than an ice cold beer
after a snorkel trip!» My thoughts
exactly! Where has she been all my life?
I digress, Mary was also kind enough to
keep an eye on my cooler while i went
exploring. Once we boarded to vessel, i
noticed it was very clean and in order.
Captain Ken was quick and to the point,
yet friendly. The only time i saw the
captain get upset was when some joker
interrupted his head count before
heading in (I cant blame him for that).
Matt the first mate was friendly, funny,
energetic and informative. I’m not really
sure about the comments I’ve read
about him in other posts. I guess some
people don’t have a sense of humor and
don’t listen when important things are
being said, but again i digress. We
swam around for what seemed like 2
mins, but i guess time flies when you’re
having fun. We actually were onsite for
about 2 hours. We managed to see all
types of colorful fish and gorgeous
coral as well as a shark, barracuda and
someone also saw a stingray. The
whole experience was a memorable one
thanks to the smiling, professional and
courteous staff at Sundiver tours. I will
definitely be back with family and
friends.

I highly recommend their snorkeling tour in Key Largo. Excellent service, reasonable pricing (print the coupon from the website), and great snorkeling spot! We saw a lot of pretty fish in the reef. You can rent the gear from this place. They also sell disposable waterproof camera, and that’s what I used to take the underwater pictures. All you need to bring is yourself, towel, and food /​drink if you wish. I think they sell soda on the boat.

This was the best choice we made for snorkeling tour today.
The staffs are really friendly and everything was smooth.
The captain brought us to the great spot!!!
We were able to see a LOT of fishes and luckily a turtle too! The water was quite clear!!! I wanna do this again!

Went on a trip with my family and decided to go snorkeling with these guys. Glad we made the choice, it was the best experience I’ve had snorkeling.
The reef that we got to explore was amazing, by far the most abundant reef I’ve explored. The staff was very friendly and made the trip and breeze.
We did the 3:00 tour and hand some rough waters but it was still amazing. Highly recommended.
