We went out with Aqualife Divers for a two tank dive through our Scuba coordinators, Jupiter Scuba…read more The boat was spacious, well appointed, and safe. there was plenty of room for our gear. 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. Skip was a great deckhand and helped us find everything we needed. We even met Fred(erika) the pelican and my wife had a lifetime wish fulfilled getting close to and feeding a pelican. Overall we loved our time on the Aqualife with Skip and the captain and look forward to being on their boat again next trip!!

do not recommend diving with this operator due to multiple serious safety concerns, poor…read moreorganization, and unprofessional customer service. I prepaid for a two-tank Nitrox dive approximately one week before the trip. When I arrived at the boat, there were no Nitrox tanks available for me despite my reservation and prepayment. Brad repeatedly counted tanks and passengers but could not determine why my tanks were missing. It was eventually discovered that another diver had taken the tanks I had reserved and paid for, set up his gear, and used them without having a prior reservation or payment. Rather than reclaiming the tanks that had been reserved for me, Brad arranged to use tanks that a friend happened to have in the back of his car. These replacement tanks raised several concerns. They were not properly labeled, had no visible inspection stickers, and there was no way for me to know when they had last been inspected, serviced, or how they had been filled. One tank had a damaged O-ring that required replacement before it could be used. Additionally, the replacement tanks were not secured when brought aboard. One fell over onto the deck, causing the valve handle to break off. This seemed to me that the handle had been corroded. I was also inconvenienced by having to reconfigure my gear to accommodate a steel cylinder instead of the tank type I had reserved. After the first dive, I set up for the second dive and discovered that my replacement tank contained only 2,500 PSI rather than a full fill. When I brought this to Brad's attention, his response was dismissive and unprofessional. I explained that I had reserved and paid for full Nitrox tanks and expected to receive what I had purchased. Rather than addressing the issue professionally, he became confrontational and aggressively stated that he would "comp the tanks." The most concerning issue occurred after the second dive. The boat began departing the pickup location while two divers were still in the water, visible at the surface with their dive flag. Brad had to shout to the captain that divers were still in the water, forcing the captain to stop and reverse course to retrieve them. Starting the engine and moving the vessel while divers are still in the water is an extremely serious safety concern and could have resulted in severe injury or worse. The trip concluded with passengers being required to climb approximately five feet from the boat to the dock using an unstable ladder, creating yet another safety concern. Overall, this operation appeared poorly organized and inadequately prepared for foreseeable issues. There were no readily available backup tanks, equipment handling practices were questionable, and customer service was lacking. Most importantly, several situations raised significant safety concerns that no diver should have to experience. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this operator.

Jerry is a great captain with a ton of experience, Kim is awesome as the dive master. Shes helpful and low stress. I've found that most dive boats cater to you and treat you like a tourist...even if you're not a tourist. With this boat and crew, your just a diver whether you live here or not. No BS. FYI: the boat leaves from Alsdorf Park. You must pay to park. Typically $6 will cover it. Dive, dive, dive!

Literally one block away from the best shore diving in the Continental US!…read more The shop is small, but the service and overall experience is top notch. I have a family of three certified divers and two Junior Open Water divers who were out for their very first recreational dive, and this was the first shore dive for all five of us. Dave and Andres were extremely attentive, took the time to understand my family's experience and interests, and went above and beyond to plan a dive that delivered on all fronts. Andres was our Dive Master and he ensured our dive was extremely safe and fun. They made us feel like family! The reefs off Anglin's Pier don't disappoint. Besides the usual reef fish, we saw a good-sized nurse shark and a loggerhead turtle - the highlight of the trip for my boys. Parking in the area is a bit tight, but we managed without any issues. Highly recommend this as a dive spot and Deep Blue Divers as your dive shop!
