The captain did a great job staying with us on the drift dives and picking us up. They provided great snacks and encouraged us to drink as much water or soda as we needed.

Overall we loved our time on the Aqualife with Skip and the captain and look forward to being on their boat again next trip!!

I want to express a serious concern regarding an incident that occurred on May 8th at approximately…read more1:20 PM while we were fishing on the Jim Torgerson wreck. During this time, the Aqua Life Charter approached our vessel and positioned itself within 20 yards of us. The captain of the Aqua Life Charter, an older gentleman, deployed a diver with a dive buoy and observed our activities without any apparent regard for safety. After about a minute, he unfurled his dive flag, indicating that divers were in the water. This action was taken knowingly in a situation that posed significant risks. To ensure the safety of the diver, we made the decision to reel in our lines to avoid accidentally hooking the diver. However, maintaining a safe distance of at least 300 feet from a diver or dive charter operation becomes exceedingly difficult under these circumstances. We believe this incident warrants attention, and we will be filing a formal complaint with the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Miami to ensure that safety protocols are reinforced and adhered to by this dive charter operation.

Even though I grew up in South Florida, I now live in landlocked Tennessee and don't have as many opportunities to dive. On a recent trip back to South Florida I thought it would be a good idea to expand my training with getting my Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air certifications. Mike went out of his way to work around my limited schedule, addressed some of my equipment issues, and overall provided me a safe, educational, and enjoyable experience. Since that time, I've been back to Florida on several occasions and always look to No Shenanigans Diving and their great, close knit, group of local divers to help me get some diving in. Mike also recently help my current foreign exchange student, a 16 year old from Germany, get her Open Water Diving certification. If you're looking for a reputable diving shop that focuses on safety, education, and customer service, look no further than Mike Dingman and No Shenanigans Diving!

However I definitely like scuba diving better than snorkeling as I drank so much salt water trying to keep track of everyone going up and down and taking my snorkel in and out of my mouth that's definitely why I got sick.

Unfortunately, several operational policies and equipment limitations made the overall experience less than ideal. Despite being fully trained, equipped, certified, and accustomed to solo diving with redundant gear, I was told solo diving is not allowed due to "insurance." This was disappointing, particularly since literally every other South Florida operator I dived with on this same trip had no issue with certified solo divers. Being forced into an instabuddy situation can actually increase risk if the assigned buddy lacks experience or compatibility. No dive guide is provided, which makes the restriction even more arbitrary. Limited Tank Options. Aluminum 80s are offered. No steel tanks and no Nitrox. On deeper sites (60-100 ft), this significantly limits bottom time compared to charters that offer enriched air or higher‑capacity cylinders. The boat uses plastic tank arms to secure the tanks. When I asked for a bungee, I was told it wasn't necessary for tanks without gear on them. During the ride back, an empty tank broke free and rolled across the deck. This is a preventable safety hazard and shouldn't happen on a professional dive boat. There is no bow‑to‑stern tagline, which makes moving alongside the boat in heavy surface current unnecessarily difficult and requires heavy kicking at the end of the dive to avoid missing the stern line. The stern tagline is tied off several feet away from the "fins-off" ladder, forcing divers to remove their fins while holding the ladder with one hand. In rough seas, this is an awkward, difficult and potentially unsafe process. For drift dives, I prefer to do a negative entry and use my own clutch reel which easily unwinds as I jump in and drop to the bottom. Instead, I was told I must splash first, then surface, and wait for the crew to throw the reel to me, even though I made it clear this was not my preferred diving style. This removes control from the diver and isn't consistent with how many experienced charters safely conduct drift dives. The crew themselves were great, but several policies and equipment choices feel unnecessarily restrictive or unsafe, especially compared to other South Florida operators.
