About
We are Reef Oasis Dive Club, an international 5 Star PADI diving center. We are operating in Grand Bahamas, Egypt(Sharm el Sheikh) and Dominican Republic. We offer PADI dive courses from beginner to pro, diving to several spots and snorkeling trips. Our specialty are Special Shark Dives with Tiger Sharks and Caribbean Reef Sharks with Shark Trainer. We even have dive courses for children. For those who never dived before we have every day a free trial dive in the pool. This way you learn the beginning skills from diving and you get used to the equipment. Who would like to try Scuba diving in the Ocean can start the Discovery Scuba Diving Course. If you like it you can continue to become a PADI Scuba Diver or a PADI Open Water Diver. Excellent reefs, wrecks and wall dives, diving from boats, waste no more time before experiencing the beauty and freedom of the weightless floating underwater.

I went there to dive, sadly the weather wasn’t good for most of the week, all dive sites are exposed to southern winds and anything above 10kts will forbid diving but that’s not the shop’s fault, they will do everything to take you out diving as soon as the weather collaborates. I managed to get 5 dives on the two days we could dive including a shark dive that is a one in a lifetime not to be missed dive.

(The shark dive is very wildlife friendly, no bulk feeding, only minimal hand feeding… Jaron even managed to remove fishing lures stuck in a shark’s mouth)

The two instructors i’ve dived with are Mike Zito and Jaron Sawyer and they where very professional and friendly.

Would definitely recommend.

I did two days of diving with Reef Oasis Dive Club, which is housed in the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach resort, in which I was staying for 10 days to celebrate my birthday.

The last time I went diving was just before the pandemic, in November 2019, wherein I dove in The Bahamas. I'm glad that my first time diving afterwards was also in The Bahamas, with this resort.

Even though I've done over 200 dives, they explained to me that, since I hadn't dove in over a year, that I needed to do a refresher in the pool. After that, I was able to go on several boat dives. I did as many dives as the weather permitted (rough weather prevented as many dives as I would have liked).

I found the divemasters and the boat captains to be very competent and friendly. My dives proved to be uniformly excellent and enjoyable. A highlight was experiencing Caribbean reef sharks swimming right towards me and by me.

This dive shop was quite professional, safety-focused, and intent on providing a great experience to its guests. I highly recommend it.

We dove three sites while in Freeport, with the 5 Star PADI Reef Oasis Dive Club. We are PADI certified divers for a number of years, so our goal was to explore what Grand Bahama had to offer in the way of diving. Peterson Cay National Park dive site was a highlight.

Michael, and his team, at the Reef Oasis Dive Club are professional, thorough, responsive, and conscientious.

Luca was our dive master for all 3 of our dives. He is positive, helpful, knowledgeable.

Captain Basil, dive boat captain, is a rock solid, very attentive professional. Many thanks for his assistance before, during and after the dive.

There are opportunities to discover scuba for those new to it & more advanced training should you be interested. Reasonable prices for dives & equipment rental (full kit, good condition, which we needed).

Thank you!

Tour of Lucayan National Park and Gold Rock Beach. They promised us 3 to 4 hours, but we were rushed through in 2.5 hours, at $70BSD per person. I flagged it to the operator and they apologized, but would not give even a partial refund. Never again.

This dive center has ethical issues. I purchased a dive package prior to arrival. They canceled my dives telling me there was not enough divers for the boat to go out. Only to find out the next day, they booked the boat out with new divers who were paying a higher rate.

For me it was a great dive experience with passionates instructors; Mike, Jarren and Caesar. Without them my dream to meet the sharks will never come true. Thank you to Sierra and Alexandra who always there with their beautiful smile.

Mon marie a expérimenté sa première plongée en privé avec l’instructeur Mike, il a trouvé son approche très professionnel, pédagogue et rassurant. Très belle personne, Que du positif!.

My wife and I attended GBI dive week with Reef Oasis Dive Club June 18th - 24th, 2023. We had an amazing time and our experience with the dive team was excellent. We were greeted by the team as soon as we arrived at the hotel. They took great care of us during the whole dive week. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend this dive shop if you ever come to Grand Bahama Island.
Emilie, Jaron, Cesar and Captain Basil do a great job they know have to have fun while still taking their job seriously. We made new friends with our follow divers and crew

My two daughters and I did pool and reef dives with Michael, Emilie and CJ and they were amazing! They were very patient and thorough and made us feel very comfortable. The reef was also healthy with a great variety of marine life. I highly recommend this dive shop.
