Thank you Boynton Beach Diver Center for introducing my family to a new world. My husband and I…read moremade the New Year's resolution in Jan 2021 to get Open Water certified with our 11 year old son. It was something we had talked about for a while. But, wanted our son to be old enough to participate with us. We did it together in June! A random Google search and good reviews led us here. Our instructor Joe treated us like family. He took extra care with our son being patient and repetitive until he mastered the safety skills. Katie helped out mama bear with breathing and buoyancy. Hubby was previously certified and did his refresher alongside us. He also picked out our gear like a kid in a candy store. We appreciate the hospitality and look forward to many more underwater adventures.

Katie, who has only been there a few months was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She made picking up rentals a breeze and her knowledge of the local dive boats was very useful. I highly recommend you stop in here for your scuba needs. Maybe you want to join them on one of their exotic dive trips to a tropical island if not diving in Boynton. They sound amazing.

I had been told that Ted Harty with Immersion Freediving was the go to guy if I was ever interested…read morein learning how to dive, but not being a diver (and I mean never diving) or a "professional" snorkeler (seriously only twice in my life) I never thought I would ever need a freediving instructor. Needless to say, when I was presented with the "opportunity" (please notice the punctuation) to take a private class it only made sense to take it from Ted, and now I truly understand how exceptional Ted truly is at teaching. Not only was the coursework extremely educational but Ted made it entertaining with personal stories, personal experiences and hands on training. Never would I have thought that the coursework would leave me wanting more and more knowledge about diving, how the body works and my number one priority how to dive safe and how to be a safe diving partner. Like I said above, I was not a diver at the beginning of this class, but Ted has so much patience (talking me through a panic attack just to even get my face in the water), he explained what he wanted me to do step by step and then would demonstrate it, by far the easiest way to learn. Ted never pushes you, it's on your schedule, your comfort level and when you're ready Ted is always right there with you. Ted gave me such confidence in myself and abilities that there are lessons I learned during this Immersion Freediving course that I will apply to my "above water life". I may not be the deepest diver, have the best, or any technique and still have a lot of learning to do, but Ted turned me into a freediver and now I am hooked. I can't wait to continue my diving education, increasing my depths, improving my technique and I guarantee I will be doing this only with Immersion Freediving and Mr. Ted Harty, no one else compares and I now understand why he is the best and will be my only recommendation to anyone wanting to learn to dive. Thank you Ted for truly being excited for what I accomplished over the course of five days, you made me feel awesome about myself and for opening up a whole new world to me. Your enthusiasm and passion for what you do is contagious and I look forward to working with you again. So stay tuned you have created a monster and I can honestly say if it wasn't for you I never would have had the "true dive" experience. Cheers to you and I will see you in the water chasing the most awesome feeling in the world.

I recently completed the November 2012 Intermediate Freediving course with Ted Harty at Immersion…read moreFreediving in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Previous to taking this course, I was diving 35-40ft depths comfortably and could do a 2 minute static breathhold. Since taking this course with Ted, I was able to complete an 85ft dive and 4'25'' static breathhold in the pool. Simply amazing! I never realized how important equalization was at these depths and Ted has a skype session with every student before the class starts. The class size is limited to only 5 students, which is a big reason I took this course over other courses offered. Ted is a terrific instructor and was always focused on everyones individual needs, providing that "one on one" attention. The classroom sessions focused on safety, techniques and physiology. Safety was also a part of every ocean session and I learned a great deal. I was not a safe diver prior to taking this course, but now have the knowledge to easily adjust my diving style. We had a lot of dive time in the ocean and even more fun! Ted's dive boat "Sink Faze" was very nice and comfortable and much better than dealing with a big charter dive boat. I am very happy I decided to take this course with Immersion Freediving and can't wait to get back out in the water for further ocean training with Ted. Jason Rice Longboat Key, FL

I'm sure the excursion was great, except I never got to experience it. I was booked for 3/8 at…read more2:30, excursion would have lasted until about 3:45 pm. I planned my day around this excursion and made it a pool day at my hotel. I left my hotel at 1 pm, got there in about 15 minutes and then drove an hour looking for parking. The sheriff blocked off the parking lot because it was full. Side roads were full. At this point even if I found parking I'm walking over the lagoon bridge. I called the company and Stevie said other guests and the tour guide, Parker, were also experiencing the same issue. Stevie tried her best to help by suggesting someone picking up etc. Still no time because of he excursion was starting in 15 minutes. I requested a refund because I was done at this point. Owner called me back and assured me that I would get a refund. So unless you plan on getting there in the morning to get parking, move on from any excursions at 900 Heron. This review was fair and honest, not slamming the company. However Kaleigh thought it would be cute to email me a nasty email this morning accusing me of being a bully. Photos of the conversations attached. At this point the unprofessional-ism of this company should be considered. Kaleigh, if you were only this respectful and professional as the face you are trying to show publicly privately. You can put whatever spin on this you want, you are the real bully and you can try to make yourself look good and make me look bad. You made this to be what it didn't have to be. As I have said, I am done with you, your poor attempts at damage control, and your company.

They provided a good safety briefing and shared things about the sharks, setting the stage for an adventure. The crystal-clear water made it easy to spot a variety of sharks, including bull sharks and even a glimpse of a sand, not from a wanting distance. but safe yes. The guides were incredibly there, making sure everyone felt good and throughout the entire thing. They were nice when answering questions and pointing out interesting marine life, making the experience fun. The snorkeling gear was in an okay condition, and the boat was clean and well-maintained. It's clear that this company prioritizes both the safety of their guests and the well-being of the sharks. If you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping yet responsible way to experience Florida's marine life, look no further. Shark snorkeling with this company exceeded all expectations, leaving me with an appreciation for these magnificent creatures and a desire to return for another dive. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an adventure they'll never forget! but there is no cage, don't hope for one! although i bet you can get some on other boats i think they just want you to feel comfortable, i do not recommend the cage! i feel even if your scared its epic with out it! not a variety of sharks, but thats ultimately fine.. its the best go 100%!!

My family has motion sickness issues and while 3 of us did get sick it was worth it for the memories and my daughter that wants to be a marine biologist didn't get sick and really enjoyed it. It was not the fault of the boat nor the captain and crew. It wasn't even that choppy. 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.
