Sail Fish Scuba live reservationist always here to help

Yes, Key Largo scuba guides and boat crews on snorkeling tours are in a service-based industry, and our team works diligently to ensure all guests are safe, happy, and totally enjoying their experience. While the amount you tip is up to you, a 20-30% of the tour cost you paid is customary.

Please bring only the essentials aboard, as space on the boat may be limited. We recommend reef-safe sun protection. There are dry storage areas to keep your personal items dry.  If you’re bringing your own dive equipment, we recommend a mesh gear bag. We have freshwater rinse buckets for your cameras. 

Key Largo scuba diving tours take an average of 30-40 minutes to get from our boat dock out to the dive sites. Unlike volcanic islands, which have steep walls not far from shore, the Florida Keys sits on a shelf system which remains quite shallow until you've traveled several miles offshore. On our snorkeling tours and dive tours, our Key Largo scuba guides will advise you when we are about 10 minutes from the site, so you have time to get geared up to maximize your time in the water! 

At Sail Fish Scuba, we believe that attentive guidance, high-quality service, and genuine care are part of what every diver deserves—without any extra fees. That’s why we include experienced, in-water Dive Guides at no additional cost. It’s not a gimmick—it’s simply how we make the dive all about you—safe, personalized, and fully focused on your experience. 

No, because most Key Largo scuba diving and snorkeling tours take place at shallow reef sites—typically under 40 feet deep—surface intervals are brief. Our guests usually have just enough time, about 10 to 15 minutes, to swap gear while the captain moves the boat to the next dive or snorkel site along the Florida Keys reef system. Between the morning and afternoon tours, there’s a longer surface interval of about an hour back at the boat dock to rest and recharge. 

You can find your free underwater photos on our Home Page by scrolling to the "FREE Photos" box, or in the drop-down menu under "Guest Free Photos"—plus, the Flickr app makes viewing and sharing even easier. 

Late cancellations and no-shows before the scheduled trip will result in a 100% charge. This means if a guest cancels within 48 hours or fails to show up for their scheduled reservation, they will be charged 100% of the full reservation payment. This applies even if the reservation was made within the 48-hour window. Groups of three or more must cancel at least one week in advance to avoid charges.  Please visit our Policy page for further details and guidance.

 E-Learning (online) codes or any course that includes online academics are non-refundable at the time of purchase.

We will work with you to ensure your trip proceeds smoothly and safely.    No refunds are given to those who fail to review our policies in advance.
