Although the reefs are not what they used to be 35 years ago, diving can still be interesting and fun with Southpoint Divers. The operation is run well and lead by some excellent dive masters who work very hard to make your dives exciting and memorable. Considering the varying levels and skills of the many divers to dive with them... More

Our dive was on the Vandenberg a week ago today and it was absolutely great. We've been diving with Southpoint before, but this was our first deep water wreck dive, and our entire trip, from check-in to boating out to diving to coming back in was a breeze. The captain (Trop) and the dive masters (Alex, Mack, Zach and Bing)... More

Completed my AOW PADI certification with Southpoint Divers in March 2013. Henry Tripper Rose was a great instructor, explained each dive in detail and the skills I had to demonstrate to complete. Would highly recommend Henry and Southpoint for anyone working on their certifications. Liked it so much have already planned a followup trip in August. The Vandenberg is an... More

All the folks at Southpoint from Emily and Hydrr at the shop, Alex, Matt, Henry, Bing on the boat could not have been more encouraging. I don't get to dive as much as I like and they were there with explanations and really helpful advice that made the whole trip worth the money. I had opportunity for 4 tank dives... More

Our guide, Henry, did a great job diving the Vandenberg wreck with me and my dive buddy. The crew was also professional and did a great job as well. I think the price is reasonable but the rentals were a bit more expensive than what I have been used to. Overall, great experience and when I return to Key West... More

I got my PADI Open Water Certification from Southpoint Divers in May 2013, and I could not have been more pleased. In particular I want to say how impressed I was with the skill, knowledge, and professionalism of my scuba instructor Gabe Russell. Gabe's extremely thorough instruction enabled me to feel comfortable during my first open water dives. Gabe never... More

We were excited to dive in Key West. I admit that most of our experience diving is in the Caribbean, but we were looking forward to a new experience. While registering in the dive shop the young woman helping us seemed much more interested in carrying on a conversation with another employee in the shop and then interrupted our already... More

This was my second experience with this company, and I have not been dissappointed. On this last trip we dove the Vandenberg twice. My boyfriend had never done a wreck dive, and absolutely loved it! This wreck is not to be missed! Alex was our guide in a small group of 3-4. He was very nice and informative. He swam... More

We decided at the last minute to dive in Key West and given this holiday was part of a longer trip around the Caribbean we should have given more thought to Key West diving. To start with the positives, the boat was great and dive guides seemed experienced, safety focused, we're friendly and knowledgable.. The rental equipment we used was... More

I am a key west local and have been diving in key west for a couple years. South point divers is the only company I go diving with now. I recently completed my advanced open with Henry as my teacher. He was extremely knowledgable and a great teacher. He really went the extra mile on everything. Definitely request him. Everyone... More
