We booked a long weekend to travel to West Palm and chose Narcosis as our dive outfit. Great choice! The "safety first" approach, knowledgeable and helpful crew, and wonderful Captain Alex made for such a great experience. We will be back to dive again with Narcosis!! read more

Dove with Narcosis today. Staff was friendly, accommodating and incredibly helpful. Sarah was a great guide! Alex did an in-depth (so important) briefing before we even left the dock. Everything was clear. We felt safe and cared for, while also having fun. read more

I had the most personalized dive experience! Captain Alex was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He and Dive Master Alina took care to make sure everyone had a working dive computer and proper equipment. Alina led is through the water spotting turtles and other creatures we would have missed! Very highly recommend diving with Narcosis read more

Capt Alex, Mike, and Zach did an amazing job. Very professional and friendly. Helped load and unload the tanks, set up gear if need be, provided snack, and water. Thorough dive plan, great communication, and some amazing dives. If you're looking for a charter let this one be the one. Thanks for a great dive trip, we had a blast! read more

We booked two days of diving with Narcosis (2-tank dives each day), and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Captain Alex and his crew were extremely accommodating and checked in often to make sure we were comfortable and safe at all times. This was our very first official open water dive since getting certified, and our dive master struck the perfect balance--staying close enough for safety but also giving us the freedom to explore. He pointed out unique species along the way, which made the dives even more fascinating. Captain Alex runs a tight ship--clear rules, strong leadership, and a personable demeanor. Those qualities are exactly what I appreciate when my safety is in someone's hands. I left each day feeling confident, cared for, and absolutely thrilled with the experience. I would book with Narcosis again without hesitation. We enjoyed every single minute. read more

Super professional dive operation. Second time diving with them and this one was a real gift, as it was a bad weather weekend and the boat just consisted of my two buddies and one other solo diver, all advanced divers. Captain Alex handled the vessel as an experienced pro should and Chris was a helpful, articulate and knowledgeable divemaster - incredibly attentive and on top of everything. Highly recommended if you're in South Florida. read more

Great job narcosis! seamless check in process as well as loading onto the boat, telling us where we were to setup, and explaining safety precautions and all the stuff they are required to do. the waves were a little choppy, but once under the water, it was beautiful. the boat was equipped with snacks, water, gatorade, soda, defog, and a little hose for a shower rinse. i had a little panic attack on the surface at the end of the first dive due to the choppy water and being stung by some moon jellies. it was tough getting back on the boat. but once i was on, THE CREW WAS SO SWEET, told me if i needed to yack i could in a certain spot or they had buckets, offered snacks, ginger ale, a cold shower and some super cold water over my head. the guide came over and told me he'd stick with me and help me up on the surface on the next dive. it really made it that much more special. we are excited for our next dive with the narcosis crew, and can't wait for more to come! read more

On a whim, went on a last-minute road trip with a buddy to West Palm Beach. He wanted to talk to a boat builder, and we also wanted to schedule an ad-hoc dive trip or two for Saturday (we were driving down on Friday). Given our last minute planning, all of the other dive shops were already booked for Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon wasn't looking too promising. However, Captain Alex and crew at Narcosis were ready and able to accommodate us for not only a morning dive on Saturday but also for another two tank dive on Saturday afternoon. Perfect! Guess who just made the top of my call list next time I am ready to schedule a dive in the West Palm Beach area? :-) The boat, crew, and dive sites were all spectacular. Had a terrific time taking in the sights on a few wrecks and several reefs. Experienced goliath grouper, moray eels, several large turtles, and other noteworthy reef denizens, including Caribbean reef squid and Yellowhead jawfish. Can't wait to dive with Narcosis again! read more

Excellent Captain and crew. Definitely recommend if your looking to dive in the area.

Narcosis Dive Company is one of those dive operations that always goes that extra mile to make sure that you have memorable dives. Each dive site they take you to is filled with its own thrills and surprises and they plan each trip with care and keep each diver in mind. Dive staff is courteous, friendly and makes you feel like they have known you for years. I recommend diving with Narcosis if you are looking for doing your dives up in the West Palm Beach area. You will end up becoming a regular. read more

Today was my first ever ocean, drift, and boat dive. I got certified this summer...in Boise, ID. My husband and I were nervous and excited. The crew did a great job making sure we understood everything. It was an non-intimidating and safe trip. We dove Tear drop and 4th Window. The sea life was incredible..mesmerizing. our guides did a great job pointing and telling us about the fish and coral. We saw stingrays, eels, a couple of sharks and soooo much more. We can't Waite to dive with Narcosis again! read more

Had 2 great dives 2 days after lobster season opened. Had Christina as dive master and Christian as mate. We had an awesome time. There were 3 of us, 2 experienced and 1 first dives after certification. They accommodated my buddy when his regs failed and started leaking. It was integrated, but Capt Alex had a spare bc and regulator onboard and he didn't miss a beat. Saved both his dives, and didn't even charge him a rental fee. This captain and crew want you to have a great time, safely, and highly impressed us. We would've limited on lobster except for a couple shorts and some eggers that we didn't notice on the bottom. I am new to the area, and have found the boat to go on. You don't even need a dive buddy as everyone was so cool. You can stay with the group, if you like. Scheduled another trip this Wednesday! read more

Just completed my AOW certification with the Captain and crew of Narcosis Dive Company. What a relaxed but professional crew. I never felt uncomfortable and the crew was very knowledgeable. They all made my experience worth every moment. I've done ocean diving but never in this area. It was a blast. Hope to return again soon. Highly recommend. These folks are aces! read more

Captain Alex and crew were awesome to dive with! Booking was simple, the location was easy to find, and parking was free at the marina. The Narcosis is a large vessel, and due to limiting the number of divers we had plenty of space on board-- making us feel completely safe. The dive masters were very knowledgeable and gave great briefings before each dive. They were also fantastic about lending out gear anyone might have been missing (we didn't have a reel for our safety sausage). We dove with them two different days and saw some great sites. I would definitely recommend them, and if in the area again will be going out with them again! read more

wonderful time on this boat. friendly crew and very accommodating to a novice diver! highly recommended!

Easy check in at Riviera Beach City Marina then free parking. Lots of room on Narcosis and great crew, Capt Alex & Divemasters Fuego & Smarty! Sunny weather and 2-3 feet swells. We loved our two dives, Ron's Reef & Diverama drift dives! Schools of fish, loggerhead & green sea turtles, green moray eel, lemon shark. Gear rinsing station on dock and bathrooms steps away from dock. Thank you for taking care of us! We'll come back again! read more

Wonderful 2 tank dive experience on the Narcosis exploring several Breakers Reef sites including the very cool trench. Although we arrived at the last minute, the captain and crew were friendly and accommodating. Saw an abundance of fish including Goliath Grouper, clarinet fish, lion fish, sea turtles, lobster, a big lemon shark, parrot fish, puffers, French angel fish, and schools of the more common fish. On the second dive we navigated the fingers on the deeper side of the reef looking for an elusive and terribly shy endangered saw fish to no avail, but disappointment soon gave way to amazement when we crossed the reef in the trench. Great dives, great crew, great captain. read more

This is VERY much my kind of outfit. When I called, I didn't get a teenage receptionist, or a shop employee, I got Captain Van's cell phone, out on the boat. This is no-frills, doing it for the love of scuba diving at it's very best. There's no fancy show-room, there's just a boat, a captain, and his crew, and they're all excellent. We met Captain Van on the dock at 7:30am in Riviera Beach Marina, just a few minutes north of West Palm Beach. The boat itself is big enough for 28, although we only had about 12. She's also very fast. In the morning they usually head north to dive off Juno Beach, and we were able to get out to the dive site in about 20-30 minutes. On-board there's separate fresh water rinses for cameras and masks, as well as a warm-water hose to shower with. They provided chips, cold filtered water, sodas, and peanut-butter crackers which was just right in-between dives. Our dive-masters Bryan and Chris were very knowledgeable, helpful, warm, and friendly. We felt safe, well informed, and well taken care of before and during both dives. Wifey and I have 15 and 10 years of experience and about 20-30 dives under our belts. We were the least experienced folks on-board this day. Everybody else had 100+ dives under their (weight) belts. With a diverse group of divers, there were three separate dive groups that went off the boat: spear hunters, photographers, and the main group that went with the dive-master. We had two guides in the water for both dives, taking care of our safety, and pointing out interesting sights. Speaking of safety, I appreciated that they provided signal tubes (sausages) for everybody for increased visibility on the surface. During our two drift dives we saw barracudas, huge porcupine puffers, a giant ray, a hawksbill turtle, goliath groupers, and lots of gorgeous fish. Other divers in our group also saw a huge hammerhead shark and a nice looking moray eel. For equipment, we brought our own masks, boots, and fins, but rented BCDs, regulators, tanks, and wet-suits. They had everything we needed right on the dock, and everything was in excellent condition. For two dives and all the rental gear, they charged $120 per person, which is $60-$80 less than every other shop I called when researching our trip. They were also able to take a credit card payment out on the dock, which was appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Narcosis Dive Charters to a friend, and look forward to diving with them again the next time we're in Florida. read more

Was in visiting from California so I wanted to do a tropical dive and man I was not disappointed! Captain Alex was awesome as well as the whole crew! The dive sights were amazing. Saw four awesome ship wrecks, sharks, barracuda and tons of fish! Probably my favorite dive yet! Would highly recommend them! read more

Alex and his crew are great! Great dive sites, very safely conscious, and made sure that we were happy on the boat and in the water. Have been diving with Alex for many years when he was a member of a dive crew. As the boat captain, he really knows the reefs and will ensure that you dive the best reefs. Dive master Christina is awesome to dive with. She takes her time and makes sure that you have time to explore and take pictures. Thanks guys for a great vacation. read more

Capt. Alex runs a good dive boat. The crew is friendly and concerned about your dive safety. A Dive Master always accompanies you on every dive if you just want to stay with a guide. They visit most all of the reefs up and down the Palm Beach area. As far as the diving in Palm Beach, you can see everything from all reef fish, to large species of turtle, to spotted eels, rays and even several species of shark are not unusual to spot. This is a great dive destination for someone who cannot afford, or does not have the time, to get to the Caribbean. read more

Don't look anywhere else... this is the best crew there is! Captain Alex is awesome, and always finds us exactly what we're looking to see. Finch are Damian are wonderful guides. The crew is knowledgeable and fun, and always make sure our dive is safe and exciting! We love these guys, and are already looking forward to our next trip! read more

Every-time I've dove with Narcosis I received nothing but A+ service time and time again. Captain Van and his crew are AWESOME, extremely knowledgeable and attentive when it comes to diving and the needs of those on the boat. I've had too many great experiences to count. One recently however was when I went diving and my girlfriend was a "bubble watcher" lets just say she didn't watch any that day as she was sea-sick during the whole morning dives. Capt. Van checked up on her throughout the morning as well as Finch(one of the DM's) when all the divers including I was in the water. Can't forget the other crewman Johnnie and Jessica who where in the water at the time. Upon returning to the dock to pay; Capt Van said, I didn't need to pay for her as she was sick the whole time. I argued, that I was being honest and still paying him regardless anyway, unless he didn't want it. LoL. He greatly appreciated it, to my reply. ALWAYS!!! Happy Diving.... read more

Yet another great time with Capt. Alex and crew. The crew is always friendly and helpful. Dives are just off the coast of Riviera Beach. This is drift diving: you hop off, led by a dive master. When your time or air is up you surface and Capt. Alex brings the boat by to pick you up. Today we saw about 15 - 20 Goliath Groupers (gentle giants, the size of a small car) on the first dive. Following the second dive we were accompanied by a school of dolphins: a great sight watching them jump over the boat's wake. Then we hoped in the ocean with mask and snorkel to see them up close. Every time I have been on there are always new divers, many occasional recreational divers and a few tech divers. Another great day on Narcosis. read more

If I could give these guys less than one star I would. Wanted to dive with them and spoke to one of their crew. After paying for the dive thru force e dive shop in boca the owner called me and refused to accept the ticket for some strange reason saying because they hadn't called him first he wouldn't honor it. Was very rude and hung up on me. read more

I dove with Narcosis middle January. The conditions weren't very good but the boat ride with Captain Van and Damian, the dive master, was excellent. Van is a top notch captain and very accommodating. I really enjoyed sitting up on the bridge with him and discussing his boat and the passing of David Bowie and Glenn Frey. Damian, is an excellent dive master!!! I really enjoyed our dive together albeit the visibility was about 10-15' tops. He has an eagle eye for wild life... I saw more significant wild life on that dive than I have with 100' visibility thanks to Damian. Lot's of fun. Now I'm taking my wife... so look out Narcosis I'm coming back! read more

I love going diving with Alex and his crew. Always an amazing experience like today when we got to see dolphins and swiing with them as well. read more

Thanks to John Phillips for being such a great dive master on our dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. Would definitely recommend this dive location and Narcosis Dive Company. As novice divers we were a little nervous. They really took the time to make sure we were comfortable with the dive and John's familiarity with the area allowed us to see some amazing sea life. Great experience. Thanks again! read more

Awesome experience diving with Captain Alex + the Narcosis crew! Easy booking and check-in at Riviera Beach Marina, some of the best rental equipment I've used, knowledgeable and easy-going team, saw TONS of marine life! (Turtles, Goliath grouper, squid, moray eels, lobster, and more!) Since they've cautiously reopened, Narcosis made us feel extremely safe and comfortable - everything was extremely clean, cloth face masks on deck, captain + crew + divers included. Thank you Narcosis! read more

Great crew - good for all levels- clean sweet boat! Have been diving with Narcosis for about 4 years - when we visit WPB. good for hunters and last two dives had new divers doing open water certifications. Lots of fish and today saw a Hammerhead, juvenile drum fish, and huge Loggerhead turtle on first dive and a small ray and lion fish hunting on 2nd dive. We miss Finch but heard he's coming back from the Bahamas soon. read more

Captain Alex has a great boat, and great help. I was treated exceptionally well by the crew. With 23 people on the boat there was plenty of room and I didn't feel crowded. I really enjoyed the surface time which allowed us to jump in the water. read more

Captain Van and his dive masters run a first class dive charter business. I found about the Narcosis from another diver I met during a recent live aboard trip that has been diving on the Narcosis for a number of years. The boat has an excellent layout for diving, they are very safety conscious, and one of the dive masters always leads the drift dives. They have a large screen tv to show you the layout of the reef and wrecks you'll be seeing during the dive briefing. Their prices are excellent, and weather permitting, they do at least one trip a day. Parking is free and they have plenty of carts to haul your gear to the boat and back. You'll be diving over some amazing reefs and wrecks. We came across a large loggerhead turtle, moray eel, and good numbers of reef fish during the two dives I did with them. read more

Used them in December. Been diving since 1984, so I've seen a few dive boats. The Narcosis crew is very professional - the boat is a purpose built dive boat and was easy on and off despite the chop. I would recommend them without hesitation. read more

Diving with Narcosis Dive Charters was a great experience! We dove 3 Days with them this week and will definitely use them every chance we get. Capt Van was friendly and informative. The dive sites were great. The boat picked us right up when we surfaced, no waiting. Snacks and drinks on board. Crew was friendly and helpful. Bryan Clark assisted us with our Advanced and Nitrox certifications. He was knowledgeable, patient and very attentive to us as we learned new skills. The divemaster actively pointed out fish, eels, turtles, sharks, rays and other cool sites. Jessica, Justin, Jeff, Katie, Bryan and Capt Van - thanks for a great time diving this week! Hope to see you again soon! read more

Outstanding, Cap and his crew, knows exactly what they are doing, my kids and I, will dive again without a doubt . Thank you guys. read more

Capt. Alex and his crew lead a no frills and professional dive operation. Both crew and divers were experienced and a pleasure to dive with. On that day we saw sharks, an eel, a big grouper and very beautiful marine life. This was my first dive after a few years not diving and my first experience drift diving. Christine, our dive master, made it easy for me to feel comfortable and safe. Highly recommended. read more

Awesome charter. Crew is very knowledgeable and safety conscious. No egos here...just drama free diving.

Captain Alex runs a great boat and a top-notch crew. We had the pleasure of diving 4 great reef sites and his crew kept everything moving smoothly from the moment we were invited on-board. Safety briefings were detailed, passenger accountability excellent, guides knowledgeable, and the boat very comfortable (48' is a lot of boat and it never felt crowded). We'll definitely be back! read more

I was recently in the West Palm Beach area on vacation and went diving with Narcosis three times over 5 days. Captain Alex, AKA the shark whisperer, and his crew were very professional the entire time. Captain Alex was very knowledgeable about the different dive sites in the area to make sure everyone was happy including the hunters, underwater tourists, and shark seekers. His crew, Cristina and Evelio, gave a very good dive briefing and were helpful above water getting everyone ready for the dive and underwater leading the group at a good pace. My last dive on the boat was a 'shark dive' at Governor's River Walk with Cristina and she was a great divemaster teaching me how to act near the sharks and also did a good job of attracting the sharks underwater in a safe way. We saw three 7-8 ft bull sharks that dive! I'll definitely be diving with Narcosis again in the future. read more
