FAQs
Does Amoray have its own dive operation?
Yes. Amoray Dive Resort has an on-site PADI dive operation with its own dive boats, gear rental, and instructors. Dive boats depart directly from the property dock — guests walk from their room to the boat. This is the only Key Largo resort where the dive operation is fully integrated into the property.
What dive sites does Amoray access?
Amoray's dive boats access John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Key Largo Dry Rocks (Christ of the Abyss), Molasses Reef, French Reef, and other Florida Reef Tract sites. The property is located at Mile Marker 104.2, one of the closest points to the reef.
Can I get dive certified at Amoray?
Yes. Amoray offers PADI certification courses from Open Water through Divemaster. Training uses the on-site pool for confined water sessions and the property's dive boats for open-water dives. Classroom instruction is available on-site.
What kind of rooms does Amoray have?
Amoray offers clean, functional waterfront units — standard rooms and some with kitchenettes. The accommodations are comfortable but not luxury. Guests choose Amoray for the dive operation, not the room finishes.
Does Amoray have a beach?
No. Amoray has a working waterfront with a dive dock, boat slips, and a sundeck — not a private beach. The waterfront is built for diving operations. For a private beach in Key Largo, consider Playa Largo or Kona Kai.
Does Amoray have a restaurant?
No. Amoray does not have an on-site restaurant. Some rooms have kitchenettes for self-catering. Nearby dining includes Sundowners (2 miles) and Mrs. Mac's Kitchen (3.5 miles). A car is needed for dining.
How does Amoray compare to Reefhouse?
Amoray has its own on-site PADI dive operation with dive boats departing from the property dock. Reefhouse is a marina resort that coordinates reef charters through partner dive operators. Amoray is for dedicated divers who want the dive shop at their doorstep; Reefhouse is for travelers who want marina access with dive coordination as one of several activities.
What is Azul del Mar?
Azul del Mar is Amoray's sister property immediately next door — an ultra-boutique 6-suite bayfront hotel designed for couples. Azul guests have access to Amoray's heated pool, beach area, bicycles, and can book scuba excursions through Amoray's dive operation. For a quieter, more romantic stay with dive access, Azul del Mar is the complement to Amoray.
Do you need a car at Amoray?
For dining and non-dive activities, yes. Key Largo is car-dependent. However, divers spending most of their time on-site can minimize car use since the dive operation, pool, and sundeck are all on the property. Complimentary parking is provided.
