Captain's Corner Dive Center - Key West, Florida

Best diving operation, contacted them before my trip and spoke to Leslie who was very responsive to all my questions and quick call backs. On dive day the process was easy, checked in, and was on the boat introduced to the dive masters and off we were. 1st Dive the Vandernburg, an amazing wreck experience, a must do for bucket list divers. Second day of diving was on the reef paid extra for the guide Dereck $70 it was well worth it, he was kind enough to take pictures as my camera was not working, which made the experience even better. So much to see lots of rays, sharks and turtles, it was awesome. The captains Ricky and Zack were so much fun and safe, extra points for dry humor. I highly recommend Captains Corner for diving on the Keys

We did several dives with Captain's Corner back in August 2024. Conditions were less-than-ideal since Hurricane Debby had moved over the area a few days before, kicking up a bunch of crud and making visibility not great. Thankfully, we had a few days in Key West since our first day of diving got pushed back to the next day due to poor visibility. Even the next day, we didn't have the picturesque ocean visibility we had expected in the Florida Keys, but we could still enjoy the dive.

We had to go with an instructor (and do the reef dive first) because we wanted to dive the Vandenberg as PADI Open Water Divers. Visibility was starting to improve, but it was still reduced, giving spooky vibes at the wreck. There were also light currents on the day of our dive. This dive was a fantastic experience that we weren't expecting to be able to do as open water divers, but Leslie was willing to work with us, and we cannot say enough great things about the captain and crew.

If we ever find ourselves in Key West again, we won't hesitate to do another dive with Captain's Corner. I do recommend them!

This place was absolutely amazing! Everyone was super cool and professional. My OWD instructor David (Young David) was very patient and knowledgeable. He took the time to make sure you understood his instructions and would also perform the skill where you could see and understand what he expected from you. Having a pool on location makes things simpler and convenient. The crew got along well and were quite efficient working together. As an African-American male, I'm accustomed to being made to feel uncomfortable when doing adventurous activities, particularly related to water. Not a single person acted in a way that made me feel uncomfortable. I also loved the focus that they put on safety as well as customer experience. I plan to return to Captain's Corner for more advanced courses. Please be sure to tip the crew well, as they're putting their lives on the line to ensure your safety while giving you a great experience.

Absolutely fantastic. I did my PADI Open Water Dive certification with Captain’s Corner on a vacation with my family, and I cannot say enough about the experience. Mike was the best dive instructor—so knowledgeable and fun. He reassured me every step of the way, and made me feel as confident as all of the already-certified divers on the dive boat with us.

The dive crew was also a blast. I left my sunglasses behind on the boat, and they facilitated a way for me to apprehend them. Thank you to Ricky for finding them, and thank you to Jen for bringing them to me.

If you’re still trying to find a company to usher you to your PADI certifications, look no further. The crew at Captain’s Corner is next to none! Looking forward to my next trip to Key West so I can do my Advanced Open Water training with Mike and Captain’s Corner.

Couldn’t be more happy with my experience at Captain’s Corner. I did both the afternoon reef dives and the Vandenberg with them. The dives were amazing and got to see turtles, eels, lots of cool fish, and even a shark! In my 30+ dives, these were by far my favorites. I highly recommend getting a guide to see all the best parts of the sites. Derek was great and I highly recommend him, but all of the guides seemed nice and helpful. The boat staff was very friendly and attentive. They will do everything for you to set your gear up (if you want them to) and they are quick and proactive. If I come back to Key West, I will be diving with Captain’s Corner again!

Captain’s Corner took very good care of me. They were immediately able to schedule me on a boat trip and get me out into the water. My instructor, Derek, was incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable and one of the nicest, most helpful teachers I’ve come across. I highly recommend captains corner to anyone! Also, their boat and boat staff are fantastic.

I went on a guided dive with David. Jennifer and the team are the best. Saw some great marine life and highly recommend this place for your dives. Got sea-sick for the first time after finishing the dive, but the team was really helpful.

The best dive operation I've been with in 20 years of diving in the Caribbean, East coast US and Europe. Friendly staff, knowledgable Captains, great boat (Sea Eagle). I've been to Key West 3 times in the last 10 years and have dived with Captain's Corner every time. I can't imagine going diving with a better outfit. I love these folks and can't wait to dive with them again.
