DIVE TRIPS WITH SILENT WORLD
Dive & Snorkel Trips 365 Days A Year
We understand that you have a lot of choices when it comes to who you dive with during your visit to the Florida Keys and Pennekamp State Park. Although Key Largo may have more dive shops in a twelve mile stretch then any other spot in the World, we have always found a way to separate ourselves from the crowd and bring divers back to our boats over and over again. Many divers even consider us their local dive shop returning month after month to join us at Silent World instead of using the dive shop in their home town. We provide a friendly, personal and professional dive charter service that we believe is unequaled in the Florida Keys. Our dedication to customer service and passion for SCUBA ensures that you will experience the best possible diving during your stay. Our prices are also extremely competitive, giving you the best value for money available for Key Largo Diving and exploring The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

Our Dive Charter trips are unique in Key Largo and the Upper Keys. We offer the most flexibility for regular chartered dive trips. We start with our regular schedule of morning and afternoon trips that allows you to pre-book your dive or snorkel trips to your desired sites in advance. In addition, we will run anywhere, anytime, for any reason as long as we have the minimum required number of passengers. Can't get into town until mid-morning or mid-afternoon? No problem! If we have a spare boat and crew we will run for you. Have something special in mind? Underwater wedding at the Christ of the Abyss Statue? Cook-out at sea? Sunset Cruise? Give us a call and we will arrange it for you.

Standard Two Tank Two Location Shallow Trip

For those looking to visit the wonderful shallow reefs found off the Key Largo coast line, then this is the trip for you. Running twice daily, this trip brings you up close and personal with the reefs of Key Largo, including the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Not only will you visit sites within "S.P.A.'s" (Sanctuary Preservation Areas where the coral and marine life are superior) but you will also get the chance to visit many of the sites that other charter operations are unable to get to due to the distance from port, such as Carysfort Reef & Lighthouse and Pacific and Watsons reef.

At $80.00 all trips include tanks, weights, fruit, and juice. Trips are open to all levels of diver, plus snorkelers and riders, with site depths ranging from 5' to 40'. The average depth of most of the dive sites within the Marine Sanctuary is 25'- perfect for everyone!

Want to make the most of your trip? Have one of our guides join you for the dive. All guides have in depth experience of marine life identification and will even bring a digital stills camera or digital video camera along to capture the wonderful experiences to share with your friends and family when you get back home. Guides are available for $50.00 for the first person and $25.00 for each additional. Still photos are $25.00 for all photos taken during the dive. Video is available for an additional $50.00. Best of all we can even provide onsite post production service to provide you with a full length movie of your entire time with us!


One of our many friends encounter on the shallow reefs of Key Largo.

Deep Wreck Double Dip Trip

The Key Largo coast line is covered in wrecks, both natural disasters and artificial reefs. The shallow Key Largo waters with its hidden patch reefs and fringing barrier reef that sit just below the surface have plagued shipping for centuries. Here you will even find the third largest artificial reef in the world, the amazing LSD-32 Spiegel Grove. Sunk June 10, 2002 amidst a media fanfare the like of which Key Largo may never see again, the 510' vessel flipped upside down with her stern on the bottom and her bow still afloat. There was just enough time for the workers who were trying to finalize the sinking preparations to get off the ship. The reality was that the vessel would sink upside down if nothing were done, making it a poor dive or even undiveable for most divers. The Key Largo community came together and funded a marine salvage company to pull the vessel on its side where it remained for two years until miraculously, hurricane Dennis late in 2005 pushed it into an upright position. The wreck is now adorned with coral, sponges, schools of baitfish, barracudas, jacks and huge Goliath Grouper.

In addition to the Spiegel Grove, we also visit the USCG cutters Duane & Bibb as well as the wreck of the Eagle. See our Dive Sites page for more info!
For recreational divers, trips include two dives with a total run time of around 40 minutes, separated by a one hour surface interval. For those with relevant training, a single long decompression dive can be conducted with a maximum run time of around 120 minutes. Much like our shallow trips, experienced guides are available for both recreational and technical divers. All technical guides have extensive penetration and decompression experience and will be more then happy to guide you into the depths of these wonderful wrecks.

Recreational guides are available for $50.00 for the first person and $25.00 for each additional. Technical Guides are available for $75.00 for the first person and $50.00 for each additional. Guides have in depth experience with marine life identification and will even bring a digital still camera or digital video camera along to capture the wonderful experiences to share with your friends and family when you get back home. Still photos are $25.00 for all photos taken during the dive. Video is available for $50.00. Best of all we can even provide onsite post production services to provide you with a full length movie of your entire time with us.


 

3 Location 3 Tank Trip W/ Night Dive

Got a morning flight into Miami and going to be arriving in Key Largo after most afternoon boats depart? Still want to get some dives in as soon as you arrive in town late afternoon? Due to popular demand we have added a three tank 3 location dive trip that includes a night dive to our schedule.

This trip leaves the dock at 3:00pm and will return around 9:00pm. Trip locations can be customized to the requests of the first people booking onto the trip. You could visit a deep wreck such as the LSD-32 Spiegel Grove, followed by a shallow reef or wreck dive, and end with a night dive on the same site or another reef. By diving the same site by daylight and starlight you will experience two very different visual treats, and watch some amazing changes take place right before your eyes.
Best of all, dives are timed to allow you to enjoy a wonderful Key Largo sunset before you descend on your night dive. We can also place a portable grill on board so you can enjoy a freshly prepared dinner during your surface interval.

Due to the extra time out on the water these trips are billed separately from package trips, with a cost of $150.00 per person. Guides are still available for $50.00 for the first person and $25.00 for each additional. Still photos are provided for an additional $25.00 for all photos taken during the dive. Video is available for $50.00. Best of all we can even provide onsite post production services to provide you with a full length movie of your entire time with us!

 


 

Single Tank Shallow Night Dive

Looking to experience a whole new world of diving? Enter the underwater world following a wonderful Key Largo sunset. For many scuba divers, night diving quickly becomes their favorite type of diving. Marine life that hides during the day amongst the coral is out and about for you get a great look at.

Night dive trips leave one hour before dusk, arriving at the dive site just in time for you to relax and enjoy the sunset before you enter the water. Shallow night dives often visit the same location as the last shallow dive of the day allowing you to experience the location both during daylight hours and at night so you can see just how different they really are.

First time diving at night? Why not have one our guides join your dive group. All of our guides have countless dives in the starlight environment and provide you with an added comfort that makes entering into the darkened world of night diving more enjoyable for those who are not yet comfortable doing a night dive on their own.

Shallow night dives are open to all certification levels. For those who have never been diving at night before, a guide is highly recommended. Guides are available for $50.00 for the first person and $25.00 for each additional. Dive lights are available to rent or buy.

 


Eels, Lobsters, Turtles, Crabs, and much more are all common sights on our wonderful night dives.

 

Double Dip Deep Wreck Night Dive

If you are looking for the ultimate in night diving, then this is the trip for you! Once a week on Saturday nights we run a double dip night dive on one of Key Largo's deep wrecks. Exploring the awesome Spiegel Grove during the day is one thing, but at night its a completely different adventure. Just like our day time double dips you can do this trip as a two tank recreational dive or a longer single decompression dive.

Due to the nature of these dives, additional certification requirements are required for recreational divers. Recreational divers wishing to join us on a double dip deep night dive must hold a speciality rating in Night Diving and Deep diving (logged & verified deep diving experience within the last 6 months is an acceptable alternative to Deep Specialty) or a rating of Master Scuba Diver or higher.

Recreational divers with a rescue diver card but not holding the listed speciality certifications may dive as long as they are accompanied by a professional diver or hire a guide to go along with them.

Those doing two dives will enjoy a wonderful Key Largo sunset during the one hour surface interval. Those performing a single decompression dive will experience the wreck transform from a daylight dive to a night dive right before their eyes.
