This operation is ran or managed by an individual that doesn't understand basic customer service. I booked a 2 tank dive online for the Saturday that I was planning to be in Key Largo. When I received the written confirmation after booking online, their system chose a date one week later. When I notified the operator by email of the date miscue, I asked if they could move my reservation back to the date I'm in town or they could just cancel the wrong booking date. A seemingly simple question with 2 alternatives.
Wow, I received a super berating email response (see photo of email)

Where do I even begin? My partner and I were taking a quick trip to Key Largo and wanted to dive for a day while there. I scoped out some shops online and decided to book a half day 2-dive trip for both of us with full gear rental. The communication leading up to the day was clear and concise from the shop and I was able to prepay ahead of time for everything. We arrived on the day of our tour and checked in, completed waivers, and got fitted for gear before boarding the boat and heading out. Little did I know, my partner was planning a surprise proposal (underwater during our second dive) and

Wonderful experience and great people! My friends and I stopped here on our way to the Dry Tortugas. I have never been snorkeling, so I had no idea what to expect.

I'm so happy I dove with Sail Fish Scuba in Key Largo! I didn't want to dive with a cattle boat which led me to finding them, and their 5 star reviews had me sold. I did four dives on the first day and loved it so much that I signed up to go again the next day. I'm so glad I did because we did the USS Spiegel Grove wreck and I had my first bull shark experience (that I know of) and it swam up behind me from 10 feet away by the US flag which is a moment that I will NEVER forget. The captain is hilarious and the crew were so personable, kind and helpful. Really felt like a family,
