I am giving a 5 stars because I do not feel my experience should lower their rating even we we did not dive with them
Our 2 tanks dive was scheduled on 8/3. On 8/2 9 am Capt Chris contacted us to let us know they had a technical issue with the boat and his was not sure it will be fixed by Tomorrow.
He updated us Monday evening saying they oculd not fix it and he offer us a refund.
As a today, the refund has been issued.
I read the bad review posted on June but it is not what we experienced. they let us know about the issue and refund us. Nothing to complain about the customer service. They handle this unfortunate issuecorrectly.

Captain Chris provided professional service and was able to accommodate a last minute booking for our family. Captain Chris was professional, has a great personality, and was most importantly safe. He made our trip possible and created some great memories!

Although the visibility wasn't great since it's been raining, they were a great charter to dive with. They didn't have too many people there which was a breath of fresh air, the boat was well equipped, and they had a huge cooler full of drinks and snacks available for us. I'll definitely use them again.

I took a vacation from Ohio to come down to Florida and scuba dive . On Friday morning I get a text saying we have to cancel your trip due to boat problems. After talking to locals they said that this company boat had been down for over 3 months . I even spoke with them a few weeks before I booked my trip . Very disappointed in this company. I will NEVER recommend this company to anyone. Horrible communication skills .

Booked a dive trip, received confirmation and returned a waiver form. I was charged for the trip and got another confirmation two days before the dive trip was to take place. All online and via automated email. I got to the boat ramp as instructed and Reel Diversions was a no-show. No email, text, or call to cancel or reschedule. They don't answer the phone - goes straight to voice mail. They charged me 5 days before the trip. Two other divers I met who were supposed to be on the same charter told me they had the same experience.

Website looks good however, zero communication and never advised the boat was down. Customer service is horrible. If we had not met up with other divers attempting to find the same boat we would have assumed we were left behind.
Do not use this company!

Dave and Chris were both great. This was my first SCUBA experience in the ocean and they helped me and made me feel comfortable. They were focused on safety and on what the group wanted to do, taking all of us into account. I would definitely recommend Reel Diversion Charters and hope to be back soon!

Chris and Dave made for two great dives. The first dive was a bit murky, but there was still lots to see. The second dive at the Jenga pile was great with good visibility and lots of interesting things to see. Lots of snacks, pineapple, and water. Highly recommend for a fun time.

Great charter, did two different spots. Nice set up, easy off, easy on. I felt very safe and nothing like getting out of gravity for a while!!!
