I have been diving 10+ years, mostly in tropical waters doing reef diving. This was our (husband and I) first diving trip to Key West and I chose to dive with Bonsai based on great Trip Advisor reviews. We dove with Peter on May 7 and 8, four dives in total and two at Vanderberg. We were always first on... More

I am newly certified and this was my first experience scuba diving in the ocean. I contacted Peter several months before our trip (we were traveling on a disney cruise with a stop in Key West). The email communication was great leading up to the trip. Everything happened exactly as was expected with the pickup and the time frame. Peter... More

Wanted to dive the Vandenburg with my friend & my son, but wasn't sure how it would work out with our traveling via a cruise ship. Emailed and spoke with Peter on the phone several times and worked it all out. Peter isn't just an owner/captain, but a scuba instructor also. That allowed for everyone to benefit greatly from the...

My newly-certified 19 year old son & I arrived for our two-day dive trip in Key West to find the winds up and seas heavy. Although the other "cattle boat" operators couldn't get out, Peter's boat size coupled with his local knowledge really paid off. He put us in protected water where we enjoyed both dives under safe conditions. With... More

Second time visiting Key West in the past 10 months, second time diving with Peter and Bonsai Diving (dove the Vandenberg last April). His boat gets out to the wrecks/reefs fast and you are in the water in no time!! My wife and I had a great dive on Joe's Tug and the Western Sambos Reef and cant wait to... More

Hooked up with Peter and Vince on the 18th of February, 2012 at Key West, FL. Peter was able to find a dive buddy for me to go on a 2 tank dive to the Vandenberg and a nearby reef. I had a fantastic time. I was more into a "looky-loo" mode as I snapped pics and movies of the... More

Peter and his young son run this small but extremely friendly diving operation. I really dislike large catamarans that take out 20 divers at a time. Bonsai Diving takes out no more then 6 people. Peter knows the waters very well and knew exactly were to take us. I did 2 dives, one deep and 1 shallow, over a period... More

I chose to dive with Bonsai as I prefer to find companies that cater to small groups rather than those that load up with 20-30 divers then ship you into the water like cattle. Peter, owner operator, has a limit of 6 divers which allows for more personalized service and gets you out to sites before the others. We dove... More

Peter is an experienced diver and boatsman, and knows the waters of the Keys very well. We dove with him two days, a total of four dives - two to the Vandy and two to the reefs. Peter dove as the dive master on the Vandenberg dives, and did a good job in creating a dive plan, describing what we... More
