Our first time to dive with JDC and I don't think it will be our last! JDC team helped us with a spontaneous trip to see the Goliath Grouper spawning, even recommending hotel and restaurants. Shop is large, well-stocked and operated in an amazingly friendly and relaxed (but efficient) atmosphere. Goliath Specialty - Taking the Goliath specialty wasn't a must-do before going down but Sandy Carlson made the Goliaths WAY more interesting in the water. Nice to ID male/female, several behavior patterns, etc. Goliaths are congregating on the Zion wreck and currents were too strong to go there our first day, which was beyond disappointing, but we got there the next day and they were mind-blowing!! Jupiter Wreck Trek - Currents were probably too stout for new divers, but we loved it! For Goliaths we stayed on the Zion most of our dive, but wound up on the Esso Bonaire, which was some easy "penetration" into a fun, visual wreck. Lobster Diving - Wasn't interested in this, but others on the boat were, so we hooked up with their dive and had a blast watching the lobsters get caught, analyzed and often released. Great experience to do this with experienced lobster hunters. Blue Heron Bridge - We're Master divers with a ton of dives and experiences, but this was a fun, easy and unique dive. Diving with Steve Watkins made it much more informative and enjoyable. Team - Alex was incredible! Helping reattach lights, lust over new fins and an attitude that never dipped. Hannah was another marvel. I was frazzled due to timing, she was not! Always helpful and calm under pressure. We dove with Troy, Brooks, Alex and Angelo and all were amazing. You never know what you'll get on a dive boat and these guys were all top notch. Our Captains were amazing (oops, names?) and we were especially grateful for day 2 Captain getting us to at least one wreck dive! Lisa and Gerry were the masterminds behind getting our trip to actually work out. They operate a terrific dive shop! We'd actually considered diving different shops each day to get a different experience, but we didn't want to go anywhere else :-)…

My first time diving with these guys, and everything went smooth. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Alex and Hanna were phenomenal dive guides making sure divers got to see what they came for! The boat captains were very accommodating, giving the divers updates about visibility and temperatures helping the divers get the most out of there dives. I will definitely be diving with these guys again!!…

I purchased a Hollis Prism2 from Jupiter Dive center back in March and started diving the unit in May once things started opening back up from Covid... The unit out of the box is ready to go. The Instructor for this unit ( James Weber) is not only a good guy but he has a great attitude and the learning curve he offers is exceptional!! Cant say enough good things about this Man!! If your considering Rebreather this is the place to go... The crew here is really good Captains are spot on deck hands are right there when you need them.. And top it off the owners Gerry and Lisa will work with you for extended dives in one form or another If conditions are suitable.. Please remember that!! …

Excellent operation. Very professional. Good crew. I did a lobster dive and we saw few lobsters. Oh well. A lobster drift dive can turn into solo diving on nitrox at 80' - NOT a dive for beginners. Plan accordingly.
