Amoray Dive Resort is the only dedicated dive resort in the Florida Keys.
In fact, Key Largo is considered the “Scuba Diving Capital of the World”. Jeff Gneiser (and his wife, Cynthia) own the PADI 5 Star Dive Amoray Divers that operates with the Amoray Dive Resort. Jeff sat down with me to tell the story of how they’ve renovated and expanded the facility, and what it takes to be a 2023 and 2024 award-winning dive operation. They took us to the reefs and the famous Spiegel Grove shipwreck, and we stayed a few nights at the resort. After seeing some of the local sites like The History of Diving Museum (and feeding the tarpon at Robbie’s) we even had dinner with the two of them at what is now our new favorite waterside dive.
This is someone who has it together and loves his work. If you want a peek into what the dream looks like, this is it.

Love Amoray. I've been a regular customer/ diver there since 2008. Love what Cynthia and Jeff have done. I was on the boat the day you filmed. Everyone does a great job. That's why I keep coming back. Peace love Dive 🤙🤿

Took my daughter on her first open water dive after certification last year and I can definitely agree with the connection between family underwater. I had enough tears in my mask that I had to clear it…lol! One of my best moments ever.

I have been going to the Keys since I got certified in 2004 and have stayed at many nice hotels but Amy Slates is my favorite. Problem with the Keys is the crazy insane cost of doing a dive trip there. I live in central Ohio and by the time I fly to Fort Lauderdale, rent a car, pay for my room, diving and food I can do a dive trip to Cozumel where the diving is 1000% better than the keys. I stay at an all inclusive resort where all food and drinks are included. I take a shuttle from the airport and can walk to San Miguel for restaurants . Key Largo has the wrecks and if you have never done the Spiegel Grove/Duane/Bibb or Eagle you should definitely go to check out the wrecks.

I've lived and worked all over the world. I have lived in Florida for 8 years now on the Space Coast but Key Largo is my favorite place in the world. My first dive in the Keys was with Amoray. That was 5 years ago. I've tried other dive shops on the Keys but tell everyone - Amoray is the greatest. Hey Jeff, wanna hire a senior citizen Instructor? Will work for dives 😘 Now that's Amoray.

I live on the Space Coast , I like the Keys but nothing compares to the awesome Drift Diving in Jupiter and West Palm. Blue Heron Bridge is a bonus in WP. Cozumel has awesome Drift Diving too. A hop,skip and a jump from Florida.

I love Amoray and its people. This was to be my recommended dive spot until Covid. That was when Florida hotel prices went crazy. Jeff and Cynthia are wonderful.

I live in SWFL I’ve been diving up & down the Keys. It’s been heartbreaking to see how devastated the coral is. There are awesome wrecks and amazing life. But the Hurricanes and bleaching events and disrespectful divers have defiantly left their mark. Glad that iCare is trying a new coral to help bring back the life & color. But my favorite dive location is Pompano Beach. They have 3 reef lines to dive, amazing colorful coral, LOTS of life from macro to Pelagic and multiple wrecks and wreck treks. The Lady Luck being my favorite.

Enjoyed your video so much I decided to go for a week with my family over the New Year. I have not dove the keys in 10 years. Looking forward to spending some quality time at Amoray dive resort..

Glad to hear that! We are going back there in a couple months ourselves with friends that aren’t diving just to explore the area some more - it really nails the vibe 🤙

Great video! We live in Palm Beach and visit the Keys often. This will be our next stay. It will allow me to make more underwater videos for my channel.

After getting back from recent trips to Hawaii, Asia, and Caribbean where you can pay a fortune for mediocre boat dives, we'll be coming back to Key Largo as our preferred location where even the bad drives are better and the great dives are simply amazing. Foreign boats can also be really sketchy, but our favorite captain (over the last 10 years at Amoray and elsewhere) has been Captain G and the boat has all the safety features and great crew. My only complain is that I prefer reentering the boat from aft (side is too sensitive to swells).

100%! We met him for the first time and HAD to interview him during this shoot. Interview with Captain G coming soon!

Incredible video Kenny. This summer will be our dive shops 3rd trip to Key Largo and I had no idea this place existed. This may be the answer for divers in the Keys with non-diving spouses/partners.

How are the keys in the summer? Is it unbearably hot and humid?
@TheScubaDivingChannel
@TheScubaDivingChannel 3 месяца назад
It gets hot for sure! But if you’re swimming, diving, wear island clothes and flops and make sure there’s a pool, it’s epic! There is often a breeze, too, which helps 🤙
@billweithman52
@billweithman52 3 месяца назад
It’s really hot and humid. I wouldn’t call it unbearable, but that will depend on your opinion. We camp in a travel trailer at John Pennekamp State Park for a week each summer. The bugs can be annoying too. But it’s practically paradise, so I tolerate a lot while I’m there.

Summer is hot for for Florida and cool for Louisiana and Texas. The water tends to moderate the temperature.

WTF, you're really advocating a 34 diver barge as the epitome of diving in the Keys?! For sure the owner's love their big barge they can cram 2 1/2 dozen divers on, works for them. Count me not there. Doesn't matter how many gate choices, there's still going to be up to 34 divers in the same proximity at the same time, and you can bet most of them will be thrashing around kicking up silt and grabbing onto whatever living bits they can reach. Oh, and the one choice over-water suite... yeah, so nice and everyone can book that reasonable room rate.
@TheScubaDivingChannel
@TheScubaDivingChannel 2 месяца назад
Well I’m sorry you feel that way- there are other choices but we went and it was fine thanks to the size and exit points. It’s not always for the pros or tech divers, this is more suited to families and average divers that just wanna have fun- we’ve done it all a thousand times over and there was nothing wrong with this boat for a simple easy dive (the advanced stuff usually has way smaller groups btw) there were 6 of us on the Spiegel Grove
