Silent World Key Largo: Dive, Snorkel, and Certify in Paradise

Learned about Christ Of The Abyss from a guidebook while planning a trip to the Florida Keys. Found Silent World online while researching snorkel excursions to see the statue. My wife and I chose the two reef trip, which was a three-hour excursion. Everything about Silent World and the tour itself was perfect. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, our Captain (Brad) and first mate (Michael) were informative and entertaining and made the entire experience feel comfortable and rewarding. My wife had never been snorkeling before and they made it easy for her to learn the basics. The two locations were mind-blowing. I cannot describe the feeling of seeing the statue of Christ in the water for the first time. We are Catholic and seeing this image of Our Lord in this setting, surrounded by all of the underwater life was a very moving experience for us. We even swam with a shark! Which wasn't scary at all due to Captain Brad's thorough explanation of shark behavior. The boat ride was pleasant, all equipment needed was provided (including snacks!), and the time in the water was more than enough to make memories that will last a lifetime. And we even saw Manatee back at the dock who swam up to enjoy the fresh water while Captain Brad rinsed the boat. We would happily return to Silent World on future trips to the Keys, and will recommend them to friends as well!

Went out with my wife and two of our friends. Capt Brad and Michael took us out. We stopped at the Christ of the Deep first. After the first stop Capt Brad informed us he had to make a change in our itinerary because of the currents. We were very happy with his decision. The other two stops were perfect. We saw plenty of fish and lots of turtles. The boat was clean, our rental gear was well cared. The ladies who took care of us when we checked in and gave us our equipment were very nice and professional. Overall all we had a great day and we were so glad we chose Silent World Dive Center. Thank you everyone!

I had such an incredible experience with this snorkeling tour—I actually ended up booking it twice on different days because I loved the first trip so much! Captain Brad and first mate Ashlynn were absolutely amazing. They were fun, welcoming, and did a great job of making sure everyone on board felt comfortable and had a great time. From the moment we set out, they created such a relaxed, positive atmosphere and were always kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire trip. Each tour included three different snorkeling sites, and every stop felt unique and exciting. I saw so many different types of sea life across both trips, and it truly felt like such a special experience being able to explore those environments. One thing I really appreciated was how safe I felt the entire time—I could fully relax and enjoy being in the water knowing I was in good hands. Both trips were equally amazing, which says a lot. It’s rare to have an experience be so good that you immediately want to do it again, but this was absolutely one of those times. I had so much fun, and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. I would highly recommend booking with this charter if you’re considering a snorkeling tour. And if you happen to get Captain Brad and/or Ashlynn on your boat, consider yourself lucky—you’re in for a truly unforgettable experience!

Had such a great time completing my PADI Reactivate course with them last weekend! Their boat and equipment are well maintained, everyone on the team was friendly, professional and made getting back into diving easy and fun. Emily and Liam were both awesome instructors, Captain Chris is the best, and Malaria was incredibly helpful throughout the trip. You can tell they genuinely care about their divers. I'll definitely be booking with them again soon. Highly recommend Silent World Dive Center!

We had a great time on our trip to the Keys with snorkeling and seeing Christ of the Abyss as the highlight! Captain Aaron and Emily entertained us with awesome dad jokes and a soundtrack for every step of the tour starting with Come Sail Away, then (I’m a) Jesus Freak when we got to the statue, and finishing with Bye, Bye, Bye. All the drinks and snacks were included and they were very personable and helpful. The whole crew back at the office were sweet and helpful. A few things noted by my 2 teen daughters and I were how lovely it was to have fresh water showers available, multiple changing rooms for LADIES since we always have to wait, and lady supplies in the bathroom because sometimes you’re surprised.
