Has anyone ever used Hall’s Diving Center in Marathon, FL? We are thinking about booking a package with them for diving and lodging and wondered if anyone has feedback?

Thanks,

Kristin

 My daughter and I tried using Hall’s once but they had the engine apart and we were not willing to row. The diving is shallow there. Don’t use Looe Reef Resort, they have burned me twice! The upper Key’s offer more choices but you need to run down to KW for the sunset atleast once during your visit.

I would Suggest Tildens which is in Marathon...They are awesome if you use them tell Haye’s (he’s an instructor) that Alan said hi.....

Thanks for the info guys! Haven’t been to the Keys before (even tho I’ve lived in Florida all my life) so want to make sure it’s a good trip.

I dove the Thunderbolt about 10 years ago with them. Cant really say that was a shallow dive so Im lost as to where that comment came from.


They were a really professional operation at the tyime and would use them again.

They will probably take you to sommbero light, it is the closest reef, very nice, easy shallow diving. The Thunderbolt is 120 to the sand probably 90 to 100 to the deck.

Hi:


I have recently finished several diver training classes at Hall’s Diving Center, i.e., Wreck, Nitrox, Advanced Nitrox, and Decompression Procedures with certifications via SSI, Scuba Schools International and TDI, Technical Diving International. The dives are whatever you want, deep or shallow. The guy’s are great and very helpful. I would recommend them and plan to use them again for a rebreather course soon.
