Are you looking to explore the gorgeous reefs of the Florida Keys? Are you also looking to go out on a snorkeler friendly boat? Then you've the found the tour for you! On our snorkel-only trips we head out on our 2022 51' catamaran, the Calypso, to the beautiful John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and snorkel two different reefs for 45 minutes at each site. The reefs we visit are no deeper than 25 feet, and the same reefs come up to as shallow as 5-10 feet from the surface in some parts making it perfect for snorkelers - both kids and adults. We visit some of the most popular sites including Christ of the Abyss, Horseshoe Reef, Grecian Rocks, Banana Reef and more daily (weather conditions and mooring space permitting at the dive sites).

4.00Great excursion! I took my (young adult) niece and two nephews on a Florida National Park trip and wanted them to experience the underwater world of Florida. This was a wonderful way to do it. We had three great stops (shipwreck, lighthouse reef and Christ of the Abyss statue) and saw so much sea life, fish, eagle rays etc. Our captain (Jeff) and first mate were wonderful. Highly recommend this company.

5.00We have a great experience! All the equipment you need is provided including plenty of reef safe sunscreen. There is dry storage for your belongings, and water and snacks complementary on the boat. Our boat was definitely at full capacity, and there was a good amount of people at the dock, but they provide plenty of shade and bathrooms in the waiting area. The boat is maybe 85% shaded, so be ready to board right when they call for you (about 15 minutes after your listed arrival time) to get a shady spot for the 25 minute rid out. The snorkel experience itself was EXCELLENT. Lots of shallow reef with good visibility (at least on the day we went out), we saw tons of gorgeous coral, fish, some squid, an octopus, and even a couple of rays. Our captain got us right next to the Christ of Abyss Statue so that was easy to reach and see as well. I felt like we were in good hands in terms of the captain choosing where would be the best places to stop to snorkel. The staff were a real highlight! Our captain Aaron and first mate Jolisa made the excursion fun, lively, and easy. They played great music for the ride in and out, brought a great energy, and explained everything very clearly. Make sure to tip them via cash or they have Venmo QR codes as well which is convenient. We also spoke with Shelby afterwards and she gave us some AMAZING vegetarian restaurant recommendation for our trip to the Keys which were invaluable. Overall totally worth the cost of admission, we saw everything we wanted to see and had a good time!
The most amazing time!!

Fantastic Snorkeling Tour

5.00My wife and I did the Key Largo’s Snorkeling Legends tour in John Pennekamp State Park in early May. Captain Brad and Ashlyn were a great crew. Appreciate that they brought a jar of petroleum jelly to help seal my mask against my moustache. The water temperature was very comfortable. The Christ of the Deep statue was an impressive sight, as was the sea life at Molasses Reef. A lot of fun and highly recommended.
Capt. Jeff was great!...

5.00Great experience. Dry box onboard. Good, clean equipment. Amount of time at each stop was perfect for us. Off season was terrific for less traffic and few crowds. Also meant less wildlife though. Still lots of beautiful fish, coral, and a sea turtle!
Snorkeling in Key Largo

5.00We would highly recommend Silent World Dive Center. We did a two site snorkeling expedition from Key Largo. The staff and facilities were excellent and we were properly fitted with equipment and briefed on safety protocols. I liked that they offer life vests that inflate and noodles to make snorkeling easier. We saw lots of fish and felt safe. JoLisa and Captain Jeff were very accommodating.
