This was my first experience diving in Florida. I called the Silent World number provided in the Silent World google search. The staff member talking to me on the phone was gave me a clear explanation of what to expect, this included when to arrive at the Dive Center, what to bring, available rentals and how to pay. The payment process was smooth and simple. Once we arrived, we were quickly greeting by the kind staff who showed us the Dive Shop and bathrooms. They were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The dive boat was well staffed to easily managed 7-8 divers. The staff to diver ratio was perfect to meet everyone's needs without making the boat and the dives feel too crowded. Our guide, Liam, was very educated in both marine life and diving skills. He gave us a thorough briefing before the dive to make us aware of what we should expect for what to see and how to navigate the reef. His underwater communication skills were extraordinary as he effortlessly understood all the divers in my group. I felt safe and comfortable during each dive. I highly recommend booking a dive trip with Silent World! Also, they provided free snacks on the boat.

Competent, professional, reliable, friendly.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Silent World Dive Center in Key Largo! From the moment we walked into the shop, everyone was welcoming, professional, and easy to get along with. The shop was clean and well organized, and the entire staff made us feel comfortable and taken care of. Genevieve was a fantastic instructor. Our son was working toward his Advanced Open Water certification, and she did an excellent job teaching, encouraging, and making sure he was learning and understanding everything he needed to know. She was patient, knowledgeable, and great to work with. The owner was also wonderful. She was extremely friendly and made sure everything was done correctly and that we were taken care of throughout the entire experience. What really stood out to us was how great the entire team was—from the owner and instructor to the boat captain and deckhands. Everyone played a part in making the experience enjoyable, safe, and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our son as he worked toward his advanced certification. It's obvious that Silent World has a great team that takes pride in what they do and genuinely cares about their customers. We are already looking forward to diving with Silent World Dive Center again! Highly recommended! 🤿🌊
Captain Ceaser and first mate Drew were fantastic and clearly experienced. Drew was super helpful and patient. Grateful for the opportunity to gain dive experience in a more challenging environment given the surface conditions with a knowledgeable team.
We had a great late summer dive with Bella, Drew and the boat crew of Michael and Caesar. We saw an Eagle Ray, lobsters, southern sting ray, Goliath grouper and tons of other Carribean species from hogfish, mutton snapper to queen angelfish and massive rainbow parrots. My son is ten and it was his first dive officially after getting certified and I could not have been happier with our day. Perfect conditions on the water, 25 minute boat ride and 15 minutes in between dives. Hard to argue any of that on a Sunday afternoon. Max depth 40 ft.
We trusted Silent World for our son's PADI certification and they were amazing. They were organized with the e learning and ensuring all the paperwork and waivers were in place before we arrived to maximize our time in the water. Killian was his instructor and he was phenomenal! So patient and calm. The boat crew was also great. They were constantly moving and assisting all the divers. Overall an amazing experience. I really appreciated their professionalism sowe were able to focus on our weekend as a family and the milestone of my kiddo getting certified
Excellent dive trip and company to work with. Friendly and experienced staff.
Wonderful roomy shady boats, nice equipment, friendly professional staff and most of all had a great guide, Liam, he pointed out many interesting things and very helpful and accommodating!! Knowledgeable! Thumbs up!!
Could not have been better: Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, helpful, wonderful guide and dives. Will return.
Our scuba diving trip was amazing! The instructors were the perfect fit for my teenage grandsons, who were diving for the first time. They taught us in the pool that morning and took us on two dives that afternoon. The boat wasn’t crowded, and they provided snacks and sodas. The instructors were incredibly attentive and made sure to keep a close eye on my grandsons underwater. Everyone was so friendly, professional, and caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely dive with this company again! 🤿💙
This is our third time with Silent World and will not be our last! We are newer to the diving scene and they are the very best! Everyone from office staff to the captin are always AMAZING, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Boats are not overcrowded . Today we had a great time with Murphy our guide, Drew the deck hand and Captin Caesar! They are the same crew we had on are second trip! Also, want to give a shout out to Shelby who helped anwser all our questions!
Me and my son chose Silent World Dive Center for our dives and we had a great time. Captain Cesear and crew took great care of us. They were always willing to share their knowlegde of the reef or help with any equipment issues. We highly recommend them and look foward to our next visit. As an added bonus, the dolphin gave us a show on our way to the reefs.
Got my Advanced Open Water certification with Silent World. My daughter and I both took the class. We had a great experience with my Instructor, Murphy who is exceptionally experienced. Shelby in the office is so responsive and organized, really appreciated that as we were trying to sort through all of the paperwork. Loved diving with Silent World!
Silent World Dive Center makes everything so easy! My family of 4 went diving with them on their Dive boat, the Phoenix. Our kids are newly certified so we rented an instructor, Dylan. They fitted our kids with their gear and provided us with tanks and weights. They set the kids' gear up for them on the boat so we didn't have to. Dylan went over skills with the kids as a refresher. He was extremely attentive to my kids and our needs the whole time. Dylan even showed us where he is working to restore parts of the reef. My BCD broke during our second dive and the crew gave me a new one. The boat has water, chips and soda. The dive center even has reef-friendly sunscreen for free. There are fresh water showers to clean off after the dive. Bathrooms were super clean. The staff were friendly and helpful and jumped to help with anything we needed. They offer 10% discount for returning customers. We will be using them for all of our future dives in Key Largo. We recommend them 100%!
Excellent day with Silent World. The conditions for diving were perfect. Dove the statue and another reef. Staff at the checkin/store and boat crew were the best. Super friendly and helpful. Also had a focus on safety. Would definitely dive with Silent World again. Thanks so much for a great day.
Silent World was one the best dive shops my daughter and I have lived with. We dive quite a bit throughout Florida and I can't remember a better crew. We did a 2 tank dive on July 11th. Capt. Cesar, Carly, Liam and Drew were fantastic! My regulator broke and they brought one from below deck before I could even ask. I was able to dive and that saved the day. Incredible crew, great attitudes and a VERY nice experience for my birthday weekend. Thank you again from me and my daughter
We had an outstanding 2‑tank dive with this shop, easily one of the best experiences we’ve had anywhere in the world. Our guide, Liam, was brand new to the company but absolutely fantastic—calm, attentive, and professional. We felt safe the entire time and appreciated being able to move at a comfortable pace. Some dive operators rush divers off the boat the moment they arrive at a site, but this crew let us take our time, get settled, and enter the water only when we were ready. The dives themselves were shallow, around 30 feet, but packed with marine life. We saw sharks, an eagle ray, an Atlantic ray, cowfish, puffer fish, angel fish, and some impressively large barracudas. It was beautiful, relaxed, and exactly the kind of diving that keeps us coming back. We’re repeat divers with this shop and already excited for our next trip. Highly recommended! This dive shop has more of a boutique feel than some of the other companies in the area, which is a huge plus. THANK YOU for such a wonderful afternoon!
The place to dive with in Key Largo
Silent World was the right choice for my open water certification. They worked with me, were so patient, and I really feel that I got the best education. I would recommend Silent World to anyone wanting to dive in the keys!
We had a great experience. Micheal & Killian were great on the boat. Check in was easy. Dive shop girls were so nice & friendly. Bathrooms & showers were super clean. Will dive with them again.
Our captain and deck hand for the day -Killian and Michael, were great. They made the decision to take us to areas that would be best suited for divers and snorkelers, keeping in mind the topside conditions. They ran a smooth and safe trip with very clear instructions on dos and don'ts. As a return customer, I expected nothing less. Looking forward to go back out with the operation again soon.
Everyone from the folks in the dive shop to the captain and first mate was friendly and professional. I highly recommend diving with dive master Dillon. He made the experience memorable, educational and most importantly safe for us.
Cillian (captain) and Michael were an excellent crew. Very helpful and kind. Our guide Dylan was awesome. Very patient and informative. It really made the dive fun and felt safe. It was my first recreational dive after my certification so Dylan’s style of guidance was greatly appreciated.
This was my third time with Silent World, and I couldn’t be happier. They’re easy to work with, efficient, and highly experienced. Taking grandkids diving means paying close attention to every detail and to each person, and everything went perfectly with no issues at all. Emilee, Michael, and Murphy were fantastic with my five certified grandkids, from the thorough refresher course to the actual dives. Captain Killian and Drew really know their stuff, choosing great dive spots and making sure everything runs smoothly. I highly recommend Silent World for all your diving adventures.
Chose Silent World because the two dives were shallow, hired guides were available for a small fee, and shop was located just over the bridge. Booking was easy. This was my first ocean dive since being certified a year prior. Mallory provided useful information before the trip. Our boat the Phoenix wasn't packed with divers. Staff loaded all our equipment. My assigned guide was Emilee. She was a joy to dive with - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and patient. Emilee worked with me and another solo diver. Water was a little choppy. It was nice the dive shop sent a text the night before, asking those prone to seasickness to take some medication. Once in the water conditions were perfect. 84 degrees so wet suit unnecessary. Two dives around 20 feet each lasting an hour of underwater time. Visibility excellent, ocean life abundant. No sharks or turtles but we did see a Spotted Eagle Ray, Lobster and a variety of colorful fish. Getting back on the boat was tricky with the waves but the captain and his staff were very helpful. Dive shop facilities were awesome with solid gear, sunscreen, anti-fogger, bathrooms, showers, snacks and parking. I highly recommend Silent World and plan on using them again when I return to Key Largo.
Amazing experience for my 10 year old water loving daughter--and even for me--her landlubber mom. Staff incredible (Killian our boat captain, Drew 1st mate (both of whom I got to know when everyone was under water and I hung on the boat) and of course Murphy my daughter's assigned dive partner. They saw everything but more importantly, we were treated like family--everything went smoothly, excepyt when I reluctantly went in to snorkel and saw a 10' reef shark which sent me running on water back to the boat but DELIGHTED my water baby child. Murph stayed with her to enjoy the Jaws moment enjoyed being on the boat with the boys safely out of chomp's way. The Keys are world class for diving but these boys on the boat were world class in a more personal way.
We did 6 dives over three days. Carly and Millie our guides were awesome. They were professional well spoken and treated us with the utmost attention. I recommend silent world dive center for scuba diving Key Largo. The trip was amazing. The boat captain Keenan was funny well mannered and handled the boat like a professional. We have been diving all over the world, and I can’t express enough how professional the dive team was and how beautiful all six dives were the reef is gorgeous. Do yourself a favor and reserve your dive now.
I’m a newer diver (certified last year) and I’ve been dying to dive the keys. Getting a reliable dive buddy has been an issue for me, but I was beyond happy to know I could hire a guide. It game me the extra confidence I needed to enjoy my dive.
Well run dive shop. Great crew, captain and guides. Been going for 2 years and will be back.
Great facility and super helpful staff. From check-in, gear rental (good quality BTW) and excellent boat staff... 10 out of 10. They have clean restrooms, gift shop and great area for getting prepped and discussing dive plan before boarding the boat (not to mention gear rimse tanks poat dive). Boat crew was helpful in all the ways we divers need help (also reiterating underwater plans and expectations). I'd come back to dive from the "Phoenix" again. Thanks for a great experience Captian Killian (sp?) and crew (including Drew).
2 reef dive sights. Vibrant colored coral and sea fans. Lots of underwater critters. Sting Rays, Moray Eels, Turtles, Barracuda, Nurse Shark, others. Dive Master (Michael) and his apprentice (Adriana) were excellent, knowledgeable and focused on safety. Very helpful with dive gear selection and in and out of water guidance. Boat Captain and crew were very helpful with in and out of the water. Silent World is one stop shopping.
Wonderful experience with Silent World! We had two divers and two snorkelers in our group, and the Silent World crew took such great care of us. Upon entering the water, I discovered my mask had a poor seal. Plus, I needed a little more weight. The crew immediately adjusted my equipment, and I was off to enjoy some of the most amazing views. They were professional, on top of everything, and provided us with an amazing experience in Key Largo.
Silent World was amazing!! Beautiful set up, staff were well-organized, friendly, helpful and safe! Had a wonderful 2-tank dive and saw a Nurse Shark, swimming Moray Eel, many barracudas, lobster, puffer, sting ray… and all the other usual suspects :-) Karley my guide was wonderful!!! Killian the captain did a great job as did all the others! Would definitely recommend. 💯 Karin
Clean, comfortable boat. Friendly crew. Good knowledge of the reef with easy to understand predive briefing. Very helpful. Would definitely dive with them again.
We both had an amazing time scuba diving with Silent World for 4 days. We completed our refresher and NITROX courses with Michael, fun dives with Drew and Emille, and AOW with Murphy. Cannot recommend this shop enough, everyone is very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient! They all go above and beyond wether you are newer or a seasoned diver. Also the boat captains and first mates all deserve a shout out, very experienced and helpful. Will definitely be returning to dive with Silent World the next time we come to Key Largo. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!
We can’t say enough about Silent World. The staff and crew are fantastic. Mallory, Ashlyn, and Killian! They were friendly, professional, and made the entire experience comfortable from start to finish. We have about 100 dives and felt safe and cared for throughout the trip. The crew’s enthusiasm ranks them high on the list of the greatest dive operations we’ve ever experienced! Elbow reef was in great shape and Mike’s wreck had lots of fish, and saw an eel and turtle. Definitely would recommend Silent World!
We booked with Silent World over the phone. And we got a call appoloizing and letting us know the weather was going to be a problem. We heard another operator went out, and turned around. Silent World called it right. We went the next day and had a great day, there were some waves. Capt. Killian navigated them well and we made it to the site. We actually did not do the guided dive, and went out on our own. We got a great dive site overview and plunged in with some assistance from Ashlyn at the end of the boat. Snacks between dives and on the way back. Some refreshing cold water and a soda if you like. Can't complain about anything but the weather... and I don't think they have much control there. This is my 3rd of 4th trip with them. There will be another.
Another great experience with Silent World. Drew did a great job of guiding our group! I hope to be back soon.
Great crew! They were super helpful and the sites were beautiful. I highly recommend them!
Great trip - well organized- I snorkled my husband and daughter scuba dive. Veryenjoyable would recommend- Captail Killian and crew Drew
Another great dive on Sunday with the team at Silent World. Manny thanks to my guide Karly, always supportive and offering tips to improve my dive experience. Mallory assisting with the booking. The captain, Kendall and crew, for making the boat ride fun and enjoyable but at the same time following the rules for boating. I feel like I’m part of a family there. Lots to see on the reefs of Key Largo. On this last trip, the remnants of a ship wreck, an eagle ray, grouper, lobsters and more different kinds of fish than I can count. And the reefs are beautiful. This is my go to dive shop. I’ve been to others but always end up back here.
I booked a two-tank dive during a week that turned out to be quite windy, so the operator had to reschedule it for later in the week -- which was smooth and fine. Then it turned out I was the only diver signed up that that day and time, so they moved me to a boat run by another operator, which was also fine. I had signed up for a guide (since I was diving solo) so it was just me and her (Ashlyn) and my first experience with a one-on-one guide. Ashlyn was super friendly and enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about fish, coral and other things that I could see, and she was a terrific guide -- highly recommend!
We had a great time with our kids. The operation is very organized, the equipment was in good shape, the boat was clean, and the team was friendly and helpful. Our kids certified last year and the team made it easy and comfortable for them to go again this year. We did two dives and had a great time. I would recommend this group to friends and would use them again in the future.
Wonderful experience. The kids loved it.
Great crew and staff! Great experience for my daughter’s first ocean dive.
This is my fourth time diving with the Silent World family. I absolutely love these guys! Great atmosphere, from the shop girls to Captain Killian and my Dive Master Mallory you won't find a better place in southern Florida to dive or snorkel. Hands down the best place to go, don't go anywhere else, I promise you won't be disappointed in the experience or the people.
We did the shallow two tank dive. Excellent dive guide, captain, crew and dive center staff. Super welcoming, professional, accommodating. As recently certified divers we appreciated how eager everyone was to ensure that we felt comfortable and well-equipped for the experience. We had a very attentive guide who helped us review fundamentals as we completed our dives.
My husband and I are getting our PADI Wreck Diver certification with Silent World Dive Center, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about them! We chose Silent World because every single one of our dive friends raved about them, and now we completely understand why! Ashlyn is our instructor, and she is truly incredible. Not only is she an amazing teacher who makes everything feel calm, safe, and fun, but she’s also an insanely talented photographer. One of the fish literally swam right up to her like it knew her, and honestly, that sums up her energy perfectly! You can tell she genuinely loves the ocean and what she does. I cannot wait to dive with her again! Killian was our captain and he was fantastic! He is super professional, relaxed, and made the whole day run smoothly. Michael was also on board helping everyone with their gear and getting in and out of the water, and he was so kind, helpful, and attentive. The entire crew made everything feel easy, safe, and stress-free. The whole staff truly treats you like family. From start to finish, the vibes were so positive, so welcoming, and so professional. And the diving was UNREAL. We saw two sharks, a MASSIVE grouper, a stingray, moray eel, TONS OF FISH, and so much more. Every dive was full of life and felt special. You can really tell Silent World cares about safety, conservation, the experience, and their divers. If you’re thinking about diving in Key Largo, whether it’s your first dive, a snorkel, or your next certification, I cannot recommend Silent World enough. We will 100% be back. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience. 💙🌊🤿
We had a wonderful experience with Silent World. Murphy was our Dive guide, and we really enjoyed him. Killian and Michael were part of the crew, and honestly, everyone was so helpful and lots of fun. I would highly recommend diving with this group! Great experience!
Saturday and Sunday morning dives with my daughter were excellent! The crews were professional ( Killian, Brad & Aaron) and they all obviously love their jobs! Murphy was a great for us both days. We will be back for sure.
