My husband and I are AOW divers. We did two, 2-tank dives this past weekend. To start off we wanted to do reef dives to acclimate ourselves to the FL waters. We can confirm that Peter was low key but in his own words, "I don't typically raise my voice, but if I do it is to get your attention... more

I can really recommend getting certified with Bonsai Diving. Peter was very patient, laid back and an excellent teacher. He didn't get tired of my hundreds of questions before choosing Bonsai and helped us with a personalized schedule. We saw sharks (at 3 out of 4 dives), Jew fish, Baracudas, Dolphins ... In a nutshell: Superior teacher, small boat, private... more

This will be short and sweet. Peter, the owner, customized a dive to our experience and desires. We agree with previous reviews; fast boat, good customer service, laid back attitutude. However, do not be confused with the laid back attitutude. Peter was always conscience of us in the water and was an excellent guide. We dived the Vandenberg. It was... more

Without question one of the best dive operations in the Florida Keys. Peter understands customer service and from the minute you arrive at the boat he makes each diver feel comfortable and welcome in a very low key way. Trips are tailored to the skills and desires of the divers and his boat is quick, comfortable and easy to get... more

When we arrived at the boat Pete said all equipment didnt cover fins and he should charge for them. we said we had been... more

It was our first open water ocean dive as a family. Children, 10 and 12 and wife was certified last year in a quarry. I wanted something special but not a "dive boat" with 30 other divers. Peter met us at our cruise ship, right on the pier. We were the only ones on board his boat. My youngest had... more

Best Dive operation in Key West. Bonsai diving is for divers who want an fun personalized dive experience. Individual attention on a boat that only holds six divers, trips with Bonsai are assured to be customized and personalized. Peter, the dive operator, is wonderful and will dive with you and he will show you wonderful aquatic life. Diving the way... more

Bonsai is not the cheapest scuba place in Key West, but it's definitely the best and most personalized service! Peter was very friendly and willing to work around the tight schedule that we had for shore excursion on our cruise. No one in my family had ever done scuba before, but Peter put us all at ease and we all... more

We enjoyed our trip. Peter is helpful, knowledgeable, and dedicated to providing the best experience possible. The boat seats 4-6 so you will get very personalized service. He was our guide and provided us with underwater photography as well. We would definitely come back. more
