I dove with South Beach on Wed. May 8th and immediately felt welcomed and comfortable with the staff. Gary was our master diver and was extremely pleasant and educative in regards to the dives, which were the Neptune Memorial and a reef dive. I'd like to extend my warmest greetings to theentire staff.

I did 4 dives over two consecutive days with the friendly efficient folk at south Beach Divers. The dives were at Key Largo and I caught the shop's $12 van to the site and back. This consumes an entire day, as one checks in at the shop at 10h00 and returns around 18h30. The drive is just over an hour... More

Refresher course cost $195. The instructor showed up 15 mins late. The pool session felt rush because he was making phone calls for the dentist appointment and other errands. Made me think twice about diving.

Our price for a refresher class is $195 ($185 when booked on line) which includes a pool session, all equipment, transport to and from Key Largo and 4 hours out diving in the beautiful Florida Keys all with one of our PADI instructors. Our ratio of instructors... More

My husband went out with this team to get his last dive in for certification. I was going to go along for snokeling but the water was rough. They gave me the option not to go knowing the water was rough and I migh tnot enjoy myself. Rather than saying nothing and keeping my money. I really appreciated that. They... More

I was certified in Scuba Diving in 2004 and my last dive was basically my last certification dive. It was also in a quarry during the month of November so anything for me would have been an improvement. My experience was flawless. I took a refresher course for people that had not dived in a while and it was just... More

My wife and I had not been diving in 2 years and needed a refresher. We were able to get our refresher and a two dive trip to Key Largo all in one day. Laurent, our instructor, was excellent. Not only was he our refresher instructor, he stayed with us as our driver to Key Largo and kept our group... More

I recently moved to Miami and needed to find a local dive shop to take care of my scuba needs. This shop came highly recommended from locals and did not disappoint. The staff is extremely knowledgable and professional. They have a great selection of top end gear and competitive prices, even compared to discount Internet shops. Their package deals are... More

This was by far the biggest highlight of our trip to Miami. While on a conference trip to Miami, we decided to try something new and hit up South Beach Divers. Our party of three have never been diving before, but the staff at South Beach divers were absolutely excellent in accommodating us and were excellent in answering all of... More

I ordered a surfboard from South Beach Divers that I had to pick-up during my brief visit to Miami before returning to the Turks & Caicos. The board was not delivered in time, but Sasha found the same one at another store and drove 100 miles to make sure I got it. Wow! Is that customer service or what?! Also... More

If you're looking for a basic no-frills dive at a premium dive price then this is the outfit for you!! I do not want to judge South Beach Dive and Surf too harshly since I should have apparently asked more questions about what was included, but for the price I paid for a two tank dive for two people (about...

I apologize your experience with us was less than expected. It is the policy of all the boats that we use to give area orientations and site specific briefings.
