    Went on an afternoon dive to sombrero reef and it was incredible the amount of fish and coral and caves was the best I have seen anywhere in Florida. The staff is very knowledgeable and safety minded.

    A trio or snorkelers looking to try scuba diving for the first time booked a pool session and a follow-up all-day-on-the-water (4 dives) trip. Chris was our instructor, and he had a great attitude

    We chose Hall’s based on their solid reputation both online and word of mouth locally. We met three of Hall’s trainers and would have felt safe with any of them. They were all well qualified, fun

    We were with another couple that was snorkeling, so the captain had to find a place to do both. Awesome job! We would highly recommend them and plan to use them again next year when visiting marathon

    I was down in the keys for vacation, went to Halls for a simple air fill and was welcomed by a young man named Hank. He gave me some great dive sites that I was unaware of and he was just the nicest

    If you want to be a dive pro, then you better do it right and learn from the best. Even with the normal stress of the environment itself, this dive operation exceeded my expectations.
