Sure, there's a few threads singing their praises, they run a good show from everything I've ever heard but I can't say that I've dove with them since the new owners took over.
There was also a negative thread about them a while back written by an instructor that brought a group down and some members of the group hadn't dove in quite a while nor did they have AOW certs and the captain didn't want to let some of them do a second dive on the Speigel Grove after observing the shenanigans on the first dive. This in my opinion was probably a good call on the captain's part. The fatality stats don't lie, something like 50% of fatalities diving happened to "rusty" divers.

I dive with them evrytime I go to the keys. They are one of the safest dive op down there. They are good people. And a lot of fun. And if you do the morning dive and then do the afternoon dive you can order lunch on the way in and it will be ready when you get in. That is a plus.

Did AOW cert with Ann a few years ago. Have returned to dive with Island Ventures several times since.
