Bluewater Divers

My son and I have dove with Blue Water Divers each of the past three summers, and have each done 22 dives with them total. They are our favorite dive boat as they provide crowd free diving and personalized focus on you.
Blue Water will take you out even if there are only two divers on the boat. Most of our trips with them have averaged around 2 – 4 divers, and there have been occasions where we were the first boat on a site and were able to get down to the site before the big «cattle boats» showed up. This proved to be huge on one of our last dives with them as we were able to see some turtles on the Benwood before they went into hiding when a large boat showed up on the site.
Due to the fact that Blue Water’s boat is not overcrowded, their entire focus is on you. I greatly appreciated this aspect of my experience with them two years ago, as my son and I weren’t very experienced at boat diving at the time. Eric provided us with a lot of pointers throughout our first four dives and by the 5^th dive we felt pretty confident in the routine.
During our three summer trips, my son and I have done a few dives with two other boats in the Keys. Both boats provided a good experience, but diving with Blue Water feels like home to us, and they will always be the boat in the Keys that we do the majority of our dives with. In fact, I can’t wait until we are diving with them again.

My girlfriend and I signed up for a scuba certification class with Christi and she was awesome! She was extremely thorough and paid a lot of attention to our needs. We started with a pool session with her in the morning and then went off to do a real dive in the afternoon. After our dive my girlfriend and I realized that diving was not for us and we decided to cancel the rest of our classes. Christi completely understood and gave us a refund for the classes we did not take.
Great customer service.
I will definitely be calling her back to continue my classes if I ever change my mind

Christie is the BEST! and we all LOVED Captain Ann too!
I was the «cruise director» for our ladies’ trip to the Keys late June through 4^th of July. There were five of us: two certified divers, one newly certified for this trip, and two wanting to take a resort course on site and dive same day. As we were all traveling from different places, there was a bit of back and forth on our desires. Christie was very accomodating in answering all of my pestering questions and was able to take the two resort course students in the morning, and all of us together for diving in the afternoon.
I felt that her pricing was some of the best I found and her availability/​quick response in answering questions was fantastic. The resort course was super easy to catch on and Christie has a very calm demeanor that really helped my one friend who turned out to be more nervous than I expected underwater.
We were able to bring snacks with us, but they did provide waters and orange slices. The orange slices are heaven after being in the salt water. We dove two different locations.
I will say that I was a bit overzealous in my excitement as a first time diver and kept getting a little too far away from Christie on the first dive as she was trying to help my friend who was having issues with her ears. She was patient with me and just motioned for me to come back closer to her. She would help us spot cool stuff and since we had an underwater camera with us, was more than happy to help us take photos and stuff.
When I return to Key Largo (because let’s be honest, I can’t imagine anyone who has ever been choosing to NOT return) Christie will be my first contact to secure my diving for the trip.
And so, my love of scuba ignited and now I’m off to my first live-​aboard trip in the Bahamas. Happy diving y’all!

I called Bluewater Divers 3 hours before the afternoon trip. They were accommodating, informative, quick, and professional. However I would not recommend this small outfit to new, less experienced, or nervous divers. Things move much faster on small, seasoned dive boats. These guys haven been doing this for several years, and so should you.

One word… RACIST…
Hope you get your leaning though.
And yes Christine, my parents know more English than you. What they don’t understand is your accent like you won’t be able to understand if I speak clear English (Indian accent) :)
Best of luck guys.

Did 2 dive tours with Sarah and Bjorn. Eric, Christy and Christy’s sister did a great job of accommodating us and we enjoyed their company (although Eric comes across as somewhat jaded). Reef and wrecks are not world class dive sites, but we had a great trip and enjoyed the experience.
Would recommend them without hesitation and will be back if I am ever in the Keys again.

We were planning a trip to the Keys and my 16yr old wanted to try scuba diving. I checked out several places but they all were big outfits and since I wasn’t going out with him I wanted a smaller outfit. Bluewaters divers had great reviews so we called and went down. What a wonderful crew! They are family run and they don’t take more than 8 out a time. My son took the Discover Dive lesson in the am and then was taken out to two dive sites that afternoon. My son had a great time and I felt totally safe sending him out without me on board. We will be back :)

Love these guys! I dive with them every time I’m in Key Largo. Smaller boutique service is the way to go! Furthermore, Christi is not only a great diving instructor, but she’s also a great reef guide. Support local small business. Call them!

Eric was pheonom!!! This was our first trip lobstering and despite the loss of the lobsters, we still had a great time and loved our host! A +++ for service!!!

We took a larger boat out earlier in the week and were surrounded by way too many people. Two days later, Bluewater took us to the least crowded spot possible on a boat with max 10 ten divers. Captain Eric and Christy run a first class, quality operation and we will definitely be back!

superb outfit, captain eric and christi rock!
They set me up really nicely when I was down there for a dive vacation. Even going as far as lining up another day of diving with a different outfit, when there boat did not reach enough capacity. Diving with a small group is much more enjoyable… Captain
eric is very insightful, professional and has a very affable personality. highest recommendation … top shelf

If you are looking to dive in Key Largo, there is no better choice than Bluewater Divers. They take a maximum six divers which means plenty of space on the boat and a super relaxing boat ride out to dive sites. Captain Eric is awesome! He is super knowledgeable, helpful and easy to get along with. He’s got some good jokes too. ;) My dive buddy and I were the only divers who signed up during our time in Key Largo. Even though it was the off season and there was only the two of us, Bluewater took us diving anyway. All the sites were great. Tons of life, cool coral structure, fun wreckage and over a fantastic experience! I will be back to dive with Bluewater divers.

By far one of the best diving experiences I’ve ever had. These guys really do live up their motto of «No Crowd Diving». It was great to dive in a smaller group, and Eric really made the whole experience great with a great and fun personality. They’re really knowledgeable, easy going, and take care of their divers. Next time I come to Key Largo, they’re easily my go-​to operation for diving.

This is hands down the best dive boats in the keys. I’ve dove through 4 or 5 boats in the past and none compare to this operation. For starters, these guys don’t believe in «We don’t have enough people to go out,» which is a common phrase in Key West. I was on a boat with myself and one other diver and they were happy to take us out. The boat maxes out at 10 people, and they try to keep it at 8 divers or less. The typical crew is only the captain, but he does a good job at keeping things moving. Dive instruction is done per PADI curriculum, and I enjoyed working on my wreck certification with Bluewater.
