We were lucky enough to go out with Captain Justin and Dive Master Amy yesterday. Family of four, two teenage boys, my wife and I. They were an amazing combo, put us right on a couple of great wrecks and took care of all of our needs. Very safety conscious, very adventure seeking dive team. I would recommend Finz charters to any of my friends that wanted a great dive experience in the Keys.

I went down to Key West to meet friends from NY, NJ, and MA to do some diving. We dove with Finz on two separate days and they were amazing. I have been diving over 30 years and I have never had a better experience on a dive boat. The first day Justin was our captain and Rob was the dive master and the second day Amy was the captain and Justin was the dive master and we had so much fun both days. Amy told jokes all day and both Rob and Justin made sure I was able to get some great pictures.

Our experience was 5 stars with this dive center in Key West. The team is friendly and professional. Me and my husband dived yesterday afternoon, coral and wreck. Both were awesome experiences. Today, like a cheers on the top, we dived in the spectacular Vandenberg wreck. Other marvelous times that we're bringing to our home, Brazil. Thanks a lot for your attention. See you some day. Definitely I recommend this company.

Our family spent the day snorkeling, it was or first time and Captain Amy, Nick and Jason did a wonderful job showing us around Dry Tortuga. Not only were we able to explore Dry Tortuga and Loggerhead, they also brought us to some other wonderful locations. Overall, a wonderful experience and highly recommend their services.

The team at Finz Dive Center exceeded all expectations for a two tank dive trip this past week in Key West! Taylor, Mason and Amy were super nice and fun to hang out with! They are very skilled and thorough dive instructors, guides and captains. My teenage son and I had an amazing and beautiful experience with Finz, and we'll look forward to our next adventure with them! Thank you Amy, Mason and Taylor!

Diving with FINZ is a FIRST CLASS EXPERIENCE - Wish I could give them more than a 5 star rating!! Our Captain Robert and DM Mason were exceptional! Very knowledgeable about diving, the area, conditions, with a warm, friendly, low key attitude. Their non-intrusive attention to safety and gear checking was the best I’ve seen on a charter. They were always at the ready, looking for any possible to way to assist and make your day about enjoying diving, in a safe and completely hassle free way. The level of service provided by Finz left you wanting for nothing. Boat was IMMACULATE - cleanest we’ve been on. Public charters for 6 people max, private dive and fishing charters, Nitrox fills on site, gear rinsing/storage between charters, lock boxes, and even day trips to the Dry Tortuga’s. If you don’t see something you want listed on the schedule, give them a call directly and they’ll work to get you to the site you want to visit. After diving with Finz we won’t dive with anyone else when we’re in the lower keys. Full service, first class FANTASTIC operation.

We booked Finz Dive Center for 6 dives over 3 days and they were amazing. We did reef and wreck dives from 30 to 100 ft and the crew was outstanding. Safety was very important to them which we really appreciated. We had plenty of room on the boat which was so much better than being packed in like sardines like we've experienced on larger charter boats. 5 STARS!

Updated--- Finz contacted us less than an hour afterwards offering us another trip at 12! We went and HAD THE BEST TIME! The captain nick was so nice and the tour guide (unsure of his name) was so great and showed us so much! So glad it was able to work out and we are so happy! Thanks finz!! You definitely made our honeymoon!We scheduled a snorkeling trip earlier in the week on Monday for a Friday trip. We had already left to travel to finz and received a text 25 minutes before having to be there we were unable to go as they overbooked our trip. As we were pulling into the lot we received a call asking if we had received the cancelation text. This is very upsetting as we waited all week and something we really wanted to do on our honeymoon.

First time diving Key West and I chose Finz. The crew took us out for a twilight and night dive and it did not disappoint.I was fortunate to Have Amy and Tim for the frew and Amy was a fantastic guide and dive buddy.Finz provided plenty of water and the boats were comfortable. Tim and Amy made the whole experience worth while and really took care of the three divers on board. Kind, expert, and good humored the Finz experience was one of my better dive interactions and it felt like a catered experience!

We took a full day private tour to the Dry Tortugas with Kelly and Taylor today. We had an amazing time. Taylor was our Johnny On the Spot Dive Master. So much fun and so professional! Also, she gave us an exceptional private tour of Fort Jefferson as if she was the caretaker over there. Incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour so much fun. Plus there were no tourists there (other than us)We toured and then we took a dive on the Texas reef, and then hit the Windjammer and had lunch later at Loggerhead key which was amazing. These guys were such great guides.Later we headed back and dove for Lovett’s off of Key West for 40 minutes. So much fun!!Taylor and Kelly were both great hosts and super professional.If you’re looking for a trio of a lifetime you should really consider a day at Dry Tortugas and the only way to go is a private tour. I can’t speak to the other guides but these guys at Finz, Taylor and Kelly, were as good as I’ve ever been with. Thank you for making our trip!

My family of six dove for two days with Finz dive center. We are novice divers who wanted a personalized experience in warm beautiful clear waters. Our first day was a bucket list item for sure going to Dry Tortugas National Park to dive three sites and do a site tour of the fort with lunch provided that we are at the fort. Our dive master Nick was incredible and helped my family with four boys 17,13,10 and 10) feel comfortable on our first post certification dives. We dived the Windjammer on our third dive which is only in 20 ft of water and was amazing! Tons of fish including seeing a Goliath Grouper under on of the sections of the ship. Being in a National Park made everything large and unspoiled. Our Captain Kelly was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They had all our tanks setup for each dive and gave great tips to improve our experience as well as great food recommendations for afterward. The second day we dove near Key Weat and learned to spear fish we got a Yellow Jack which we took to Hogfish Grill after to cook. It was amazing. We saw large grouper and even a nurse shark and stingray on one of the dives. I would highly recommend Finz over the standard large boat dive companies. The smaller personalized experience was very appreciated. They helped us feel extremely comfortable and made the dives amazing.

Our group had an awesome day on the water with captain Kelly and dive master Nick. We started our day at 7am at the marina, and after an hour and a half trip on their 34ft boat, we arrived at Fort Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas. Aside from a handful of campers and a small group who arrived by seaplane, we had the island and fort almost entirely to ourselves before the large ferry group arrived. Nick gave us a walking tour of the fort and surrounding area and we were free to explore for as long as we wanted. After the large ferry group of several hundred people arrived, we decided to head out to open water for some snorkeling around a submerged shipwreck and beautiful reefs. All necessary gear was provided and Nick accompanied us on our dive as Kelly watched over our group. We proceeded to nearby Loggerhead Key for some lunch and to explore this nearly deserted island. It is home to a beautiful abandoned lighthouse and many turtle nests. After lunch we did some more snorkeling and then headed back for Key West.It was a long but fun filled day on the water. Kelly and Nick were very patient and accommodating of our groups needs. If you can afford the price I would highly recommend seeing the Tortugas with Finz over the ferry or seaplane. We had a much longer time to explore and got to see and do so much more than we would have in a large group. If you don't like smaller boats or are prone to seasickness this might not but be your best option but on a clear day with calm seas the trip wasn't bad at all. Overall I give Finz 5 stars for their professionalism and the unique experience they offer.

Robert and Mike provided the experience of a lifetime! I chartered a private trip to Dry Tortugas and Loggerhead Island. I shared with Robert my love of sea turtles and he made sure to stop the boat any time he saw turtles on the surface. We made three snorkel stops, one even at an old ship wreck! Absolutely top notch hospitality, great senses of humor, flexibility for customizing the trip, and paying attention to all the details. Highly recommend!
