PADI 5-Star Dive Center · Key Largo, FL
Two-tank dive trips through North America's only living coral barrier reef — small groups, no rush, no crowds.
The Diving Capital of the World
Key Largo scuba diving with Silent World is a small-group, two-tank boat trip from Garden Cove to reef and wreck sites on the Florida Keys coral tract — for certified divers who want a full hour of bottom time at each site and a hard cap of 14 guests.
Sixty miles south of Miami, Key Largo sits on the only living coral barrier reef in North America — shallow coral gardens, historic wrecks, and the most famous underwater statue on Earth. Every trip visits two sites, with a full hour of bottom time at each. No cattle-boat schedules. No being herded back on board the moment you find the eagle ray.

01
The nine-foot bronze Christ statue standing in about 25 feet of water at Key Largo Dry Rocks. One of the most photographed dive sites in the world, and it hits different at depth than it does from the surface.

02
A classic spur-and-groove reef inside John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, scattered with wreckage from 19th-century ships. Big coral heads, resident green morays, and reliably excellent visibility.
03
Swim-throughs, ledges, turtles, nurse sharks, and the healthiest coral in the continental U.S.

The Silent World Difference
1
Just say NO to crowds! We keep our scuba excursion sizes small (a maximum of 14 people) so that you can get personal attention from a Silent World staff member as you are guided through your charter trip experience. A smaller group means plenty of space for you in the water.
2
Just say NO to rushing! In your relaxing, laid-back, four-hour scuba diving trip in the Florida Keys, Silent World offers ample time for you to explore. Because you spend an hour at each dive site, you can take your time observing the sea life — colorful fish, dolphins, perhaps even sea turtles — and explore fascinating shipwreck sites at your leisure.
3
Just say NO to stress! Feel your stress drift away in the warm, tropical waters of Key Largo. Silent World provides an all-inclusive experience — including all scuba-related equipment you need for your dive. Our world-class PADI 5-Star dive center is full-service, and our experienced staff have your safety and enjoyment as their top priorities.
A Family Boat
Traveling with friends or family who aren't certified? They're always welcome aboard The Phoenix, our mixed boat. While you dive, they can take in the reef from the surface with mask and fins as surface viewers — same boat, same sites, same stories at dinner. Divers and surface viewers together never total more than 14 guests, so our no-crowding promise holds for everyone. Minimum age aboard is 5 years old.
On the Phoenix, you will visit two of the best scuba diving reef sites located on the Florida Keys coral reef tract — including John Pennekamp State Park, Elbow Reef, and one of the world's most famous dive sites, the Christ of the Abyss statue. This all-inclusive excursion supplies water, chips, various sodas, and a cooler for outside snacks. Come spend your family time with our family!
