Great crew, clean boat, and great experience! - We booked a morning snorkel trip with Silent World Dive Center on Jan 11th and had a fantastic time! Both the captain and the first mate were wonderful (unfortunately cannot remember their names). The boat ride was a quick and smooth trip to both of the shallow reefs that we visited at John Pennekamp park. The reefs were very alive and we saw plenty of fish, marine life, and even the famous Christ of the Abyss statue! We brought our own gear, but, the gear they provided looked great and had we not brought gear it would’ve totally been fine. I believe it was around $80 pp and that included all rental gear, with the option for paying an additional $10 for a shorty suit. The boat was clean and had enough space and storage for all passengers who were going out. Next time we plan on booking their 2 tank dive and look forward to going out with them again. Would totally recommend to anyone who wants to get in the water as this company is very professional and amazing.

Snorkeling awesomeness. - Fun time. signing in was simple-staff in all the pre-departure areas were awesome and helpful. the Calypso’s captain was fun and funny. the first mate was top shelf and made everything on board smooth. we snorkeled in two different coral reef areas and saw tons of colorful fish and coral. the water was a bit chilly and we rented wet suits (SMART CHOICE!) my group had a great time - highly recommend Silent World.

Made the best of a windy day. - Captain Jeff and Emily were great with our group. They answers questions, were patient and even kept our 2 girls company when they decided snorkeling in the open ocean on a windy day wasn’t so much fun. We had a chance to see Christ of the Abyss, jellyfish and lots of tropical fish.

Two Reef Trip - Ashley and Brad were terrific. They took the time to help a new snorkeler and told us all about the fish we saw. AMAZING day for our group of 8!

Fab day on (in) the water - Jeff (captain) and jolisa (first mate and assistant extraordinaire) were awesome. Safety first and they have that completely under control. Both stops were long enough to really enjoy the ocean and see lots of interesting things. Even though there were probably 40 on the boat, it never felt crowded in the water. I had some trouble with my mask and jolisa called me to the ladder, reached in and fixed the problem. Equipment was great. Arrive a few minutes early to avoid rushing. Plan to stay a bit after, sit I. The sun and relax. Winter is tougher water, using the noodle made a huge difference. If going in the winter, be sure to rent a wet suit. TIP!!! TIP!!!
