    I am so glad I found Calypso Diving of Tampa! I originally went in to learn more about scuba diving…read moresince I am going to the Great Barrier Reef next year. Everyone was so nice and treated you like family. That is when I realized this is where I wanted to get my open water certification. I met Dan the instructor for the first time on day one. He was personable, patient and genuinely wanted to get to know us. What I appreciated the most was that he always reiterated that he would go at our pace and would not rush us. He constantly checked in through out the process and made it fun. Dan also mentioned a good mask was very important, which I learned very quickly in the first open water dive. That day I drove to Calypso and Rob helped me find the perfect mask. Day two of open diving at rainbow river was an experience I will never forget. I truly appreciate all the staff I have met there and look forward to future dives with the Calypso family!

    There is more to a modern dive shop than sales or even the training of new divers. Calypso gives a…read moremore than fair break when it comes to the former and is among the most conscientious, professional and safety-minded when it comes to the latter. You won't go wrong if this is where you decide to get certified, re-certified or make a great purchase. But modern dive shops should do more than these admittedly essential tasks. They have an obligation to grow the sport and make possible exceptional adventures to the diving community. Larry does exactly that. Calypso arranges for local dives to hunt for Megalodon teeth and trips to the East Coast for diving adventures in the Atlantic. They also regularly offer impressive trips that take divers around the world. Recently my wife and I joined Larry and Laura on a dive trip to Puerta Galera in the Philippines. The planning and execution was exceptional with divers being able to get in as many as five quality dives a day. Every aspect of the trip was first rate and something remarkable was experienced on every dive. In part this was due to the high quality care of the resort and their staff, but also to the first-rate attention to detail of Larry. So, if you are looking for a dive experience that is world-class and out of the ordinary, take a close look at what Calypso is offering. If you don't, you may be missing the opportunity of a lifetime.

I just completed both my Open Water certification and my Nitrox class with them, the experience was solid from start to finish. The shop has a friendly vibe, you can tell they genuinely love diving and teaching. Matt and Jason were my instructors, and they were both informative, patient, and safety focused without making anything feel intimidating. They took time to explain the "whys" behind everything, not just the steps, which helped a lot with confidence and understanding. They were also very cautious in a good way always giving helpful corrections, and making sure everyone felt comfortable before moving on. Training days were a lot of fun, not as stressful as I imagined . Our dives at KP hole at Rainbow River State Park and Devil's Den were well organized and ran very smoothly. They balanced learning with fun. If you like supporting local businesses and want instructors who are knowledgeable, safety focused and that still make the experience enjoyable I'd recommend Gulf Coast Divers. Great people, great training, and a great overall experience.

Their product selection was simply insane, be prepared for specialized items, not your HSN or QVC items!!! I'm talking about the real deal!!!!! Their prices are super solid. Their customer service and professionalism exceeded my expectations by a million light years. Their expertise blew my mind. I ended up buying a WetBagPack, a pair of Dyneema gloves & 2 T-Shirts. . . . . . . and they hooked me Up with a Neptonics, fabric made Beach Bag, a serious handful of Stickers (WHO DOESN'T LOVE STICKERS?), not to mention, they even gave ma a discount!!!!!!

Learn more The Garmin inReach Mini satellite communicator provides off-the-grid contact even when size and weight matter. At only 3.5 oz, it has 2-way texting, tracking and SOS capabilities." In a single text line, smaller than everything else on the page, it says "Garmin InReach 2, Inreach waterproof case" So for $79, they shipped a plastic case. The main photo for this listing is also the GPS unit. The second picture, kinda hidden at the bottom left of the page, is a case. I emailed customer service but no response as of yet, I'm guessing I'll have to pursue it with my credit card company. Would not purchase from Neptonics again.

My group was brought over from our hotel on trolleys and directed up a flight of stairs. Once we found the correct door, we were led into the dolphin room. We had cocktail hour there, which was cool - as we could walk around the dolphin exhibit while enjoying a cocktail (or 3). After cocktails, we went upstairs to a ballroom area and had dinner and drinks, listened to award presentations, and then had a live band with karaoke. The catering staff was great, although the fish entree was cold and not very flavorful (not the fault of the aquarium IMO). This was a highlight of my business trip and I thoroughly enjoyed the dolphins.

    I'm not one for leaving bad reviews, but the Clearwater Marine Aquarium was a little disappointing…read more There is a large tank when you first walk in to the aquarium that was completely empty. Literally no fish whatsoever. You walk around the tank as you walk around the aquarium there are window all the way around, but again, the tank was completely empty. There were other areas of the aquarium that were under construction due to either renovations or expansion. Due to this there were multiple enclosures that had no fish are animals to view. It's a little disappointing when you are traveling for vacation and the aquarium was the place that your daughter was looking forward to the most. All this while still charging full price for admission. All that being said, they have a very friendly and informed staff and volunteers that clearly do a lot for the marine life. It is very commendable the way they are nursing injured marine life back to health. Definitely more of a rescue center than an aquarium.
