Sail Fish Scuba

Sail Fish Scuba is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center in Key Largo, in the Florida Keys, and it holds a distinction all its own: it invented, and remains the only Keys dive shop offering, in-water photo-guided dives — with a free set of the day's tour photos at no extra charge. Rated #1 on TripAdvisor by its customers, the shop is built around listening closely to what each diver wants.

Courses and diving

With four PADI Instructors on staff, instruction runs from Discover Scuba Diving right up through Pro levels. Class sizes stay small — no more than four students per instructor — and guided in-water tours never exceed six guests per PADI Pro, making this a comfortable fit for beginners and returning divers alike.

Local dive sites include the Benwood Shipwreck, Molasses Reef, City of Washington, Bibb, Duane, Spiegel Grove, Grecian Rocks and the Christ of the Abyss, where you may encounter sharks, whales, turtles and ocean fish. Uniquely, the dive shop, classroom and boat dock all share one waterfront location, and staff speak six languages.
