With all of today’s modern conveniences and equipment it is very interesting to see what others before thought was state of the art. This museum takes you back to days when air was stored in wooden diving bells through modern times. The dive helmets from around the world were extremely interesting. I loved the hands on exhibits and so did... more

Visited today even though I drive by on a regular basis its something I have been meaning to do for along time but never got around to doing till today. Even our 1 year old had a good time looking at all the cool diving stuff from the past! more

While this Ma and Pa museum has alot of old diving equipment it is hardly a professional museum in content and interpretation. Misspelled words in the narratives and dirty, dirty, dirty! Clean the bugs off the floor and wipe the fingerprints off the displays already. Someone needs to introduce a broom into the collection. Many dive shops in the Keys... more

I am not a diver but I love museums, antiques, history and technology. This museum was great! The timeline of diving was very interesting and includes 4000 years of diving. I consider the artifacts in this museum as works of art. As an antique and technology lover I really enjoyed all the old brass artifacts. The diving helmets and old... more

WOW! An experience I'll never forget. I never realized how much history there was in the sport of diving. This museum explains it all in great detail. Certainly fun for almost anyone. I like the hands on pumps, hard to belive they once used them for their primary source of oxygen. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Ms.... more

You don't have to be a diver to enjoy this small, very personal museum. It's a wonderful blend of technologically sophisticated displays that are at the same time delightfully kitschy--feels like something your favorite uncle and aunt would have created after a lifetime of collecting. It's an elaborate collection of incredible stuff and information about diving in the sea, good... more

Fun, informative and casual. You're free to take photos inside the museum. It's a great time for any age. The staff was very nice and helpful. It's definitely worth a stop. I really loved the exhibit with helmets from around the world. more

We had worked with Drs. Bauer (museum founders) in Ohio for years and had listened to them talk about their collection and their dreams for the museum. Being in Islamorada shortly after it opened, we thought we would stop to see it, except that we had our two children (ages 7 and 13) with us and were not sure that... more

This is a very well done museum with plenty of fun photo ops-- even for our teenager. Lots of educational information, incredible artifacts, diving memorabilia, and a nice gift shop. Also, the time it takes to go through it is just right. It may look kitschy with the old style diver suit in front of the building, but don't miss... more
