Join us for a private snorkel trip to the reef with just your group(up to 16 people). Snorkel boat hire is $550 and includes Mask, snorkel, fins and safety vest.

All trips are 4 hours long and you get to spend 2 hours snorkelling on the reef. We can recommend the best site to go to or you can pick your own as long as its on our route and the weather permits! Want to have a mixed Snorkel SCUBA boat to take the whole family out for a trip to the reef? Half day charter to the reef is $550 and SCUBA tanks are an additional $5 each so you can have a mixture of Snorkel and SCUBA and everybody is happy!
Services
No Stress SCUBA Diving trips to Key Largo Coral reef depart every day of the week to every part of the Key Largo reef. North to Carysfort reef, South to Pickles reef and everything in between. If the dive site is not on this list then please call or email us to request a different site. Our policy is that first person to book on the boat gets the choice of the first dive site!
If you have another part of the reef you would like to go to let us know when you make your reservation. Private SCUBA diving tours leave the dock at 830AM or 1PM and return at 12.30 and 5pm respectively. This is a great option for the photographers in your group, its when the best light is at midday when you will be on the reef.
There are many options for Key Largo SCUBA Diving from the beautiful reefs and shallow wrecks to the deep ship wrecks sunk purposely for SCUBA Divers. We are often asked what are the best places to SCUBA dive and the answer is always the same. Really depends on what you want to see or do and what the conditions are on the day!
Coral has been in decline on the Key Largo reef for many years due to many factors that include global warming and tourism. A normal reef would expect to be covered in hard and soft corals to around 40%. In Key Largo we are down to 2 or 3% cover and desperately need help in replanting. CRF have worked hard for many years replanting corals out on the reef and there are many places on the reef where you can witness this.
In association with Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary(FKNMS) we are conducting monthly Dive against Debris cleanups in Key Largo. We are able to make these dives free due to the donation we have have from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary under the Goal Clean Seas initiative. Payment will be required when you book online but will be refunded when you complete the dive with us.

Enjoyed the day here with my family. Our captain, Ed and his mate, Ron were super nice and knowledgeable. It was nice to have the boat all to ourselves too. They had all the gear ready for us. We had a lot of fun!

We did two dives on a private boat with them yesterday. Carrie was our dive guide and our captain was the mysterious wolfman. They recommended two places, the Christ of the Abyss statue and Horseshoe Reef, both of which were a lot of fun. Got some great videos on my GoPro. Carrie was quick with showing us the life underwater, we saw rays, lobsters, hogfish, and a ton other fish. All of this while maintaining all the precautions for covid. Thanks folks, for making the dives safe and memorable.

Did a 2 tank dive Saturday June 13th and another 2 tank dive Sunday June 14th. Everyone at the shop was very nice, crew was great, and guide was awesome as well. We saw a large sea turtle and was my first time seeing a manta ray which I hear is rare. Would def dive again!

I had the very best, most fantastic, first scuba diving experience with island ventures diving. the customer service was very friendly and helpful. my scuba instructor, george, was patient and nice and fun. i was a little anxious going in, but the entire experience was above and beyond what i expected. the personalized attention of island ventures, versus some of the bigger diving schools/boats made all the difference. i highly recommend them, especially for first timers. ;)

Being in the tourist industry good customer service is extremely important to me. With that said, our group had such an amazing time with Island Ventures. George and Wolfman made the trip comfortable and so much fun. Very laid back company (Stress free snorkeling) they even gave cookies out. I would definitely recommend Island ventures for snorkeling/scuba adventure in Key largo. I suggest packing a small lunch, or stop at the Hideout after.

The owner was horrible. Terrible customer service and just mean. She was yelling at us for being there when we dropped off a friend getting his certification. She was even yelling at the instructor with us. The place looked run down. Don't stay there....avoid at all costs!!!

This is my favorite dive shop in the keys! Michael, Wolfman, George, and Emma are just incredible! Their motto is "No stress diving" and it really is! They're always smiling, always eager to help, and always relaxed (but professional)! They will do as much or as little as you wish to have a good dive. They aren't one of the big names in town, but they will make sure you have a great day on the water. One of the biggest benefits of a small operator (10 pax boat) is that they can go to more unique dive sites than the big passenger ships. They also can cater the site more to the

Made a last minute trip to Key Largo for snorkeling. Called in the morning and they got us on an afternoon ride with only a couple divers. They were so helpful getting us all setup and explaining everything (several times for my kids). They took us to two fabulous spots to snorkel and we had a great time. Excellent trip! Would highly recommend.

This summer we decided to go diving in Key Largo and came across Island Ventures. Dave and Jan (the owners) were amazing and the price was not too bad. They even recommended the Bed & Breakfast we stayed at (Tarpon Flats) which was awesome because they came and picked us up at the marina in the morning and dropped us off in the afternoon. We dove for three days and rented equipment from them. The equipment was nice and boat was well maintenanced. The workers (Mike, Al, Wayne, Kara) were very friendly and made our short diving trip fun. The only issues we had were the snorkelers that made our
