If you are like me you don't like doing negative reviews, but this is a safety warning…read more Stuart Scuba received mixed reviews from the locals, but I dropped off 8 tanks for hydro/vip along with six first/second stage regs for service. I booked an afternoon dive on their boat. An hour after I left Stuart's shop, I was pre-checking gear, and the first stage atomic titanium was failing by blowing gas out the swivel between the HP/LP sections of the regulator. I swapped the first stages, got on the boat, then I had an ocean reef full face mask fail due to being unable to blow air out the mask due to a stuck valve. Both of these service failures could have been detected if proper post-service testing was performed on the equipment. I demonstrated the problem to the owner's wife so that she could personally examine the titanium first stage failure. She suggested that I return to the shop, but after two regulator failures, the service being careless/reckless...untested... I chose not to let Stuart Scuba re-service the gear. The shop owner and I later traded a couple of emails. He blamed the problems on me. Read off his list of credentials etc. I was surprised. No questions, just defensive behavior. I will have to get the regulators re-serviced. I paid the shop owners $861 for service, offered them the opportunity to refund the regulator service, they chose not to. I got eight cylinders filled in the shop. The first one I tested was at 38% and marked at 32%. I had the shop analyze the mix on their analyzer, 37.7%. I pointed out the ask and label was for 32%, the mix was 38%, and they I got a lecture about MOD, what the boat's afternoon dive depth was... The correct response should have been, "we made a mistake, let's get these cylinders checked and correctly marked." (watch for cold fills at the shop also). My wife and I moved to Florida five years ago. I've been diving South of Jupiter/Tampa areas out to the keys routinely now. The diving is great, divers are great, and there are plenty of solid shops and operations. I don't recommend Stuart Scuba LLC. There appears to be a safety/culture/ego issue at this shop, so I recommend that potential customers consider other.

We met friends from Down Under Dive Club in Melbourne, FL (not the other Melbourne), and everything ran smoothly right away. You drop off your gear and they load it for you. When the dives are done, they unload it too. Super easy and completely stress free. Jessica, our dive guide, and Kayla, the deckhand, were outstanding. They were organized, attentive, and made sure everyone was well briefed and comfortable for both drift dives. They also had some great extras during the surface intervals, including cold sodas, water, and fresh watermelon, which was a really nice touch. Kyalami is one of the best charter operations in South Florida. Part of me wants to keep them a secret, but they have absolutely earned the praise. Highly recommend.

I am a brand new diver and had never dove in the ocean. From the very 1st contact with Kevin at…read moreUnderwater Explorers I felt like I had made the right choice. Kevin assured me via email that I would be in good hands and he and his crew followed through on his promise. During the trip out to the site he explained things that would be different from freshwater diving and went over safety procedures as well as what we would be seeing underwater. Once underwater he monitored me and pointed out things too see but at the same time let it be my dive, not just me chasing him around. For those of you who are experienced divers he has a style for you also. He gets you to the site, provides you with a safe and friendly experience but lets you do your own thing. You tow a flag and they monitor it. You hit the surface and they pick you up. If you need something he and his crew are there but he doesn't try to smother you.

My brother and I dove with Pura Vida Divers last week, and unfortunately it was one of the worst…read moredive experiences I've had -- and I've dove many times all over the world. Before booking, we were very clear that we were relatively new divers and had never done a drift dive. We specifically expressed that we wanted to feel safe and properly supported. We were assured it would be fine, but once we were in the water, the support simply wasn't there. There was very little help with weights at the start. I quickly realized I was underweighted and had to go back and get more, which immediately separated me from the group. From there, things only got worse. I ended up alone on the reef during a drift -- something that should never happen -- and ultimately had to surface solo and wait for the boat by myself. To make matters worse, my surface marker/flag device wouldn't inflate properly, and I had to be picked up alone. At no point did I feel like anyone from the team was proactively ensuring I was safe or accounted for. Afterward, the only response I received was essentially, "Sorry you had a bad experience." That was the extent of the support. The diving itself may be beautiful, but the staff's lack of attentiveness and concern for client safety and experience was deeply disappointing. When newer divers communicate nervousness and inexperience with drift diving, that should be taken seriously -- not brushed aside. This wasn't about conditions or bad luck. It was about a lack of care and leadership. I would not recommend this operation to newer divers, and I left feeling unsettled rather than excited about the dive.
