Need a fix? Special thanks to Alan. I was here on vacay diving when my regulator got loose. I stopped in 30 minutes before closing on a Friday and he was not only nice enough to look at it, give it a once over (that took like 15 mintues), and even went so far as to spend another 5 minutes explaining to me what may have caused it. Service can't get much better. Thanks for your help and you definitely earned a fan.

Oh my goodness, what a great experience! Captains Doug and Lad hit it out of the park for our crew of divers! The day-long charter took us to two wrecks, and we saw everything we had hoped to see. Won't dive with anyone else in Key Largo.

Amazing people to work with! My wife and I had an amazing experience with Steve! He definitely did everything he could to accommodate us in finding amazing sites, was very knowledgeable about where everything was at all the sites and gave us tons of pointers! We will definitely be back soon. Thank you to everyone who helped and especially Steve!

First of all, I don't write reviews often but Quiescence Diving Services Key Largo deserves a HUGE thumbs up. My family just came back from a diving vacation as my two grandchildren were recently PADI certified. We chartered a private boat for 3 days of diving. The boat captains took us to the places where we wanted to dive. They would confirm the visibility from other boats to help us make decisions of where we wanted to dive. Allen was the dive instructor that went with us on all 3 days. I couldn't have made the dive without him. It had been years since I had dove. After a refresher course, I dove only one time due to my lack of buoyancy control. Allen was right by my side guiding me and making me feel very comfortable. I held onto him like a leach! Thank you Allen. My family swam as though they had been diving all their lives. I am so happy we went with Quiescence. The equipment was top notch. The boats were clean and comfortable. The marine life was plentiful. If we go back to the Keys, Quiescence will be the dive shop that we will always use.

Allen and Lad were awesome. My family of four couldn't have asked for better service. After getting seasick the first day, they were flexible enough to reconfigure our trip so we could enjoy as much diving as we could enjoy. Beautiful sites, animals and excellent service.

We had the most amazing 2 days on the water. First day was diving 2nd was snorkeling. They are 1st of all professional. That’s big on my list when it comes to diving. BUT they like to have fun too. We had Capt Scuba Steve and Morgan as our dive master. Top Notch! We saw everything- sea turtles, barracuda,sharks, coral, Goliath grouper

My wife, Lori, and I came down to Quiesence Diving Services for her Open Water certification and my recertification. It was simply the best diving experience I’ve ever had. The staff were professional, helpful and made us feel at home. They checked out my reg assembly, replaced some bad hoses quick enough that I could use them on the dives! Allen Adams is the tech guy and the best dive instructor. He put Lori right at ease quickly and compassionately. We had four dives with Allen and Captain Steve. Took us to some awesome sites for the check out dives. City of Washington..Christ of the Abyss…the second day we saw a shark, sea turtle, stingray.. I HIGHLY recommend this dynamic duo for crew and guide, even if you don’t need instruction! Steve seemed to read the water and I suspect Allen can talk to sea critters. Just a theory. Anyway-if you are in the area and want the best dive experience you can get, head down to Quiesence! You won’t find better people!

Just finished four days diving in Key Largo. I took my tanks to Quiescense everyday for fills. They bank 30-31%. I have low and high pressure 120s. Every fill was dead on the money for pressure. I have found it hard to get good high pressure fills in the Keys but not with these guys and gals. The shop is well staffed and all the staff was knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with and the price was fair. I will be back.
