This is for the PADI online course, wetsuit rental, purchase of an underwater writing tablet, and a boat dive. Do the math....thats $440 for a $179 Groupon.

American Dream Dive Charters

I recently dived with this charter and found the crew to be friendly, competent, and efficient in…read moregetting us to and from the dive site. 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.

If you're looking for a safe, professional, and genuinely fun dive charter operating out of Ft. Lauderdale, this is the crew to book with. The crew is outstanding -- knowledgeable, organized, and clearly passionate about diving. Their briefings are thorough and easy to follow, and they do a great job making divers of all experience levels feel comfortable and confident. The atmosphere on the boat is always relaxed, welcoming, and upbeat. The diving has been consistently excellent. Every trip I've done with American Dream Dive Charters has been well planned, smoothly run, and full of memorable underwater experiences. The crew works hard to put divers on great sites while maintaining a strong focus on safety and customer service. I highly recommend American Dream Dive Charters to anyone looking to dive in Fort Lauderdale. I always look forward to getting back on their boat.

This is NOT a fashion gym - no cute color schemes or posing bodybuilders (although you may -like I was! - be exercising next to an Olympic champion who is also just there for the work-out), and no one is intruding into your routine. That's what I love about it: it's a place for everyone, with no judgment, no airs, and every age and body type you can imagine, just trying to stay fit and healthy. Lots of machines and free weights, you can contract with a trainer if you want, and it's inexpensive. Best of all it's never crowded. Can't wait to see everything finished!

No Shenanigans Diving is awesome. Mike is the best teacher. He exceeded all of my expectations. He's patient. He works with you. He makes you feel comfortable in and out of the water. I can't say enough great things about him. If I could give him 10 stars I would. He is definitely your go to for all your scuba diving needs. He worked with me for over a year to get me certified because of health reasons. He never complained about or made me feel bad. He just kept telling I could do it. He even helped me pass my chemistry test because during my test when I got nervous & started to panic I heard his voice telling me to breath just as he'd told me many times throughout the scuba course. I HIGHLY recommend No Shenanigans Diving to anyone who wants to learn how to dive no matter the age! Thank you Mike for helping me achieve one of my dreams! read more

Cordova Diving doesn't wait for large classes to fill, but structures its courses to suit the students' schedules, which resulted in my receiving one-on-one private instruction for less money than I would have paid another dive shop for an eight-student class. It was a mental and physical challenge because I was a novice, but, Michael, the dive instructor and owner, was so patient. He made it fun and interesting too. His confidence in his skills is impressive and well earned--I was constantly amazed how intuitive and observant he was in anticipating, spotting, and correcting even the smallest details of my dive experience. For instance, about the time I was wondering if my dive mask was too tight, Michael asked, "Your dive mask looks kind of tight. How does it feel? Is it too tight for you?" And, then, he helped me make the adjustment. That sort of thing happened more than once. I had an amazing vacation--the water off of Fort Lauderdale was so warm and clear--I got to dive a coral reef, see tropical fish, and I even swam with a sea turtle!

As I walked by the shop the amazing floor art caught my attention as well as a fun little dog, Ripley, who will demand you play fetch with her (ok she won't demand but it's hard to say no to her). The owners, Raymond and Charlene, invited me inside even though the shop technically wasn't open to the public yet; a really nice gesture I had thought. Once I got inside the shop I was amazed at their inventory; which has since grown exponentially since they officially opened the shop. They have products to cater to all skill levels and to those who have limited versus unlimited budgets. I eventually ended up purchasing a full set of dive equipment, and I feel like I got a great deal as they literally customized the equipment to me, fitted it appropriately and continually ensure it's in perfect working order. I honestly think I got the same price for the equipment that you would find on an online retailer but I also get the great customer service afterwards. Win/win!! Now as I've said the shop itself is beautiful, they have great products but what really really stands out about this place is their people and the experience that they're creating. This is not a "get in and get out" type of environment. This is a neighborhood dive shop that encourages everyone to stop in, drink coffee, hang out, get to know each other, and make friends. It's a perfect environment that encourages learning because they make you so comfortable right away, and they can back up what they say as Raymond and their other instructor, Ton, are top notch guys. When I stopped in the shop I had no intention of diving more than once a month, maybe. I thought diving was fun but I wouldn't say I had a passion for it. Since then I've definitely developed a passion for it because diving/training with Wonderlost is just an unreal experience. I have since completed several advanced certificates and am working towards my Divemaster, which will be a part time career for me in the future. Stop in and say hi to Raymond, Charlene, Ton, Todd, and don't forget Ripley. You won't be disappointed!
