This was an amazing snorkel trip. It was a short boat ride to the first reef and then an even shorter boat ride to the second reef. It truly was an amazing experience and the company really does put your safety first, and we’ll talk you through any questions you might have. Erin and Emily were excellent!

This was a very cool experience I do recommend though if you've never been snorkeling if you can purchase a snorkel and mask we got ours at the family Dollar for $14 it's just eased my anxiety also watched a couple YouTube videos just so you have a feel of the equipment but not necessary you go on to sites I only went to the first one second I wish was a little bit more calmer it would have been cool to see Christ of the abyss but it still was a very very nice experience the captain Aaron and second hand Emily were great make you feel that ease and very comfortable I highly recommend this experience

Our family really enjoyed snorkeling on both reefs and riding aboard Calypso’s with Captain Mike and Emily. Every part of the experience was great. From check in to fitting to understanding our gear and knowing where to go snorkeling to the play list on the boat these guys were pros.

We had a great experience on our snorkeling tour! The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, and I really appreciated their call two days in advance to recommend rescheduling due to strong currents. It made a huge difference, as the original tour date ended up being much windier with rougher waters. If you’re new to snorkeling, I’d suggest watching some YouTube videos beforehand, as they don’t provide much instruction once you’re in the water. Unfortunately, my phone got wet despite being in a water sleeve, but the staff kindly sent me photos from the reef so I could still have memories. The Christ of the Abyss statue was absolutely incredible!
Isabella_V, Mar 2025
It was amazing! They are very good at informing everyone of the rules and how to snorkel and dive, they’re very helpful and kind and super fun! Captain Killian and Captain Brad were amazing! I would totally come back again next time. They had a mistake on my booked time for the trip but they made up for it greatly!
Kate_B, Feb 2025
The guys were friendly and helpful! It was a nice clean big catamaran! A big one, but the gear was marginal. The locations were okay, but lacked marine life. For an experienced snorkeler or diver it was pretty boring but, the water was very clear and pretty!
William_B, Jan 2025
The staff was very knowledgeable and presented all information perfectly. Their capability provided a sense that the trip was well-run and well-planned allowing all to maximize their experience.
Shannon_S, Dec 2024
Great time, just wish we could have seen Christ of the Abyss! That is mainly why we booked this tour.
Shailender_S, Dec 2024
Excellent spot and wonderful experience with snorkeling
But instructor was worse not having patience with kids too. Yelling at everyone and come towards her to listen.
Colleen_G, Nov 2024
Captain Mike and Shelby were fantastic. Made the experience fun and relaxing. Even took us out Thanksgiving day and seemed happy to be out! Loved it
Andre_M, Sep 2024
We visited two reef locations, one of which was on my bucket list—seeing the Christ of the Sea statue! The ride out to the reefs was very comfortable, and the crew was terrific. I would recommend this trip to everyone!
Chris_W, Aug 2024
The reef was awesome and the captain and crew were amazing. They helped my 10 year old son and made the whole experience very enjoyable.

Kim_K, Jul 2024
My family went on this trip and really enjoyed the snorkeling at two different shallow reefs. The water was so incredibly clear, great visibility of sea life. Captain Mike and Alex were great tour guides. The snacks and sodas were an added treat. Thank you for our amazing memories.
Shelley_T, Jun 2024
Captain Mike was a great navigator. Boat was in great shape and comfortable. Plenty of snacks and drinks.
Norma_G, May 2024
Snorkeling the shallow Grecian reef. Not a lot of coral but had some coral and a lot of fans and fish. Went to the Christ of the Abyss area. The waves were really high and I felt too uncomfortable with the waves to snorkel. Many people did snorkel but many got nauseous. Boat was small but crew were great. Water and beer were available.

Good Evening!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your snorkeling experience visiting the beautiful reefs of the Florida Keys. Unfortunately I believe this review was left for our company in error and another operator deserves your wonderful review and compliments! Our tours do not take off from the Skippers location we are 7 miles up the road, and we do not provide alcoholic beverages on our tours.
Please feel free to e-mail us at silentworlddivecenter@gmail.com and we can provide the names of all other snorkeling tour operators in our area if you would like assistance finding the company :)
Warm Regards,
Shelby
