Comments I chose to return to Anthony's Key (AKR) for two reasons - a) they resumed 2 for 1 dive specials, and b) we wanted to take two newbie divers to a trusted operation to become certified. AKR delivers on both points.

Our first visit was in March 2019 prior to the pandemic. It appears that AKR is back up to full operation having survived the pandemic. However, the clientele on this visit was 100% N. Americans. It appears Brazilian & S. American clients may still be under travel restrictions.

During the pandemic, AKR embarked on an facility upgrade program. The old kitchen/ dining area will soon be replaced with a new waterfront dining area. What will be missed is the open air bar & restaurant at the top of the long stair climb. The views were always worth the climb.

All-in all AKR is good value for the money.
