I just had my first interaction with this shop and did a dry-suit and JJ-Closed Circuit Rebreather course through them. Chris Ball (Owner) is hands down the best scuba instructor I've come across in 26 years of diving. His shop has everything from intro scuba / snorkel gear to advanced technical diving supplies including Oxygen & TRIMIX fills. He's passionate about the fun of diving while maintaining a "one-stop" dive shop, and has managed to figure out how to instruct on any level with both empathy and professionalism. Whether you have an 8 year-old who you think would enjoy getting underwater or are a seasoned dive professional, I can't recommend this shop strongly enough!

I had the pleasure of doing 4 SCUBA dives with Daly's Dock and Dive Center in Port Saint Joe…read morerecently as part of an underwater archaeology training course. From the moment I walked in the shop, I was impressed. Ann Marie was the first to greet our group, and she was so friendly and helpful. She and her husband Ed are clearly passionate about providing exemplary service. Their selection of merchandise is great, and they had an excellent sale on wetsuits that I couldn't resist. There are beautiful kitties in the shop, and the owners work tirelessly to save feral cats and to get them fixed and vaccinated to help reduce the population of unwanted cats in this rural county. I truly admire their compassionate hearts! I am also a SCUBA diving instructor, and I'm always looking for great shops like Daly's. The owners and crew went above and beyond to make sure our experience was stellar. Daly's is also very safe...we waited for a storm to clear before doing the afternoon dives. Setting up gear is a bit different here...you set up in the back parking lot before loading on the boat, then you walk across the street to meet the boat. Though everyone there was excellent, we mainly interacted with Gabbi and Michelle who we absolutely loved! Michelle is a great boat captain and put us right on the Vamar. Due to our large group, they contracted with another boat captain named Mike who was very experienced and kind. I had left a sea urchin shell on his boat, and he took the time to come back to the shop to return it to me. Also, I get cold easily, and between dives, Ann Marie brought us awesome boat coats we borrowed to keep warm! Customer service could not have been better. I had not been to Port Saint Joe in several years, and I was blown away at what a hip, trendy town it has become. There are many wonderful restaurants and attractions (including the lighthouse) within walking distance of the dive shop. Our group took full advantage of the prime location and dined, shopped, and did some sightseeing after our excellent experience with Daly's Dock and Dive Center. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely return!

If you were turned away at Ponce de Leon Springs because it was too full, or you have a craving to…read morescuba some spring fed caves, or you want a less crowded place to swim in cool 70°F spring water, or a place to climb a tree and jump from a rope swing- this is the place for you! Free entry. Bathrooms. Small parking lot. Outdoor shower and scuba rinse station. A couple picnic tables. Nice big boardwalk around waters with signage that describes trees nearby. Deep waters with cement docks that have ladders. Some people have placed ladders on trees and hung ropes from the trees for swinging into the deeper waters if you dare. Good place for good swimmers... not much shallow area and clarity may vary based on recent storms or flooding. If you don't have good swimmers bring a life jacket or floaties to make the most of the deeper waters.

We go diving (we're locals) there weekly and we've had issues with people taking our food while we're under water (bags of chips). But if it's not during peak-season, and you're looking for a place to dive... this is fantastic. Much more clear than Vortex (too much algae in the water there... one person bounces off the bottom and vis goes to shit). Much more forgiving at Morrison. The "wash" station is really nice to rinse gear off afterwards. Can pull the car up to the gazebo and drop gear then park. short walk into the water. Great viz the overwhelming majority of the time. My normal dive go-to.

Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with Cave Adventurers…read more During my second day of training, I broke a finger and asked the instructor, Edd, whether I could complete the remaining portion of the course once my finger healed. Since I had already paid the full $900 upfront, he agreed. About two months later, I contacted him to schedule the remaining training days, but I started receiving multiple excuses and delays. I even offered to pay an additional $150 to accommodate the situation, but in the end, I was told I would need to pay another instructor $600 extra to complete the final two days because Edd no longer wanted to honor his original agreement. I understand unexpected situations can happen, but I was disappointed by the lack of follow-through and professionalism after paying in full and relying on the promise that was made.

Highly recommend booking a charter and ill definitely be booking another one ASAP! Also they had fresh fruit in between dives which was very thoughtful and honestly refreshing after a long dive and we got to pick which wrecks to go to!!! 100/10 will recommend SeaDivers to all my friends and family!!
