About this center
Captain Slate's Atlantis Dive Center is a Key Largo institution, known for intimate, personalised dive experiences and the colourful personality of its founder. The centre runs daily boat trips to the Upper Keys reef system, visiting sites throughout the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
What sets Atlantis apart is the focus on marine life encounters. Captain Slate developed relationships with resident sea creatures over decades, and the centre's guides carry on this tradition, knowing exactly where to find friendly moray eels, curious nurse sharks, and the resident goliath grouper at specific sites. The approach creates magical interactions that feel spontaneous rather than staged.
The centre offers PADI courses, snorkel trips, sunset dives, and night dives. The operation maintains a relaxed, fun atmosphere with entertaining briefings and personalised attention. Located on a quiet canal in Key Largo, the centre feels like visiting a friend's backyard dock rather than a commercial dive operation.
