My husband recertified his PADI with Sail Fish Scuba. And went with them to see Christ of the Deep. He was very happy to see the statue and all the marine life around it:)) Very exciting trip and a lot of species to see while diving. Thank You, Tim and SailFish Scuba:)!

In 2012 the iconic boat the African Queen was restored for her 100 year centennial celebration. In May 2012 she once again began plying the waters of Key Largo and currently offers canal and dinner cruises. We go out daily at 10am, 12am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. On Fridays and Saturdays at 6pm we offer a dinner cruise to the Pilot House Marina where passengers disembark and enjoy dinner in the restaurant before boarding the vessel once again to return to the Marina Del Mar. Dinner and lunch cruises are also available on request for groups of at least 4 people.

Nice experience (very socially distanced and safe) with this congregation. They exude wonderful ministry to travelers. We were happy to support their work when the basket came around. Two points in case they read this review: (a) I needed more direction from ushers as to when to approach for Communion as they had a fill-in-from-the-back pattern that I didn't perceive as I was sitting in front. We were the last to be served so all good! (b) Sound was a little echoey, but I was just taking in the cool artwork and sort of half listening, TBH. A spiritual sanctuary next to a marine sanctuary--what a happy place to be!

A premier dive site in the Florida Keys, this Treasury-class Coast Guard cutter was sunk intentionally to create an artificial reef.
Reviewed By raed452
A USCG Cutter built in the 1930s. It is a great wreck dive. Lots to see. Great fish. Lots of cool places to look inside the hull through the passageways. But it is a deep dive and so it is important to watch that dive computer. Wreck is laying on her side. A dive light really helps bring out the colors of the critters!
