I have my advance diving certification and we decided to dive in Key Largo. We chose Key Largo Dive Center for our first dive in the keys. I must say it was the worst experience ever. When we started out everyone was friendly as could be. We rode out to the Molasses reef. The waves were extremely bad and the boat was rocking terribly. We did our wide stride into the water and it went downhill from there . The waves were so bad that I began to get a little panicked because I wasn’t weighted enough to go down. I made my way back to the boat and got back in. Mistake #1 they let me back in the water in a small panic. I made it down and made it for 10 minutes. Got back to the top of the water in a full blown panic. I latched onto a buoy and manage to cling to it an my husband. I was in full panic in the water for 45 minutes. All the dive masters from Key Largo Dive C. enter left us and went back to the boat then made two failed attempts to get me out of the water. Worst experience ever. Then went we got back to the marina the captain told me I didn’t preform to my certification. Well I will say the captain nor the crew preformed to their certification level either. The captain was very rude amd cursed the other divers trying to get back on the boat. If you are looking to dive in Key Largo I would not recommend Key Largo Dive Center.
I also want to give a huge thank you to Rainbow Reef. They were out there and saw the cluster attempts to get me out of the water. Finally Hailey jumped in and was able to get my husband and I to their boat. We were taken back to the marina by them . They were extremely nice and accommodating . So I would highly recommend Rainbow Reef for your Key Largo diving adventures. - via
