Maria B.

Found this Scuba diving store. They sell lots of scuba gear, many accessories available including clothes. A very friendly and great customer service.

Nice dive store. Received excellent service from Meta on my visit. She was excellent!

Very large dive store. Lots of items to choose from snorkeling, scuba, apparel, & footwear, and much much more. Make sure you check the website to see all the promotions and specials. It's a nice website and easy to navigate. I Received excellent service from Meta on my store visit. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help me get the additional gear I needed and process a dive boot size exchange from my mail order. Diver Direct is a great dive store with excellent service

Great shop with inventory, I ordered a few things including the smallest Tusa mask they recommend, asked for advice from one of the guys there, end up with the wrong thing! Yes! They advised me to purchase the Paragon S and not the Zensee Pro, which is the smallest frame mask that Tusa makes. I called Tusa in Long Beach CA, amazing help from the tech team, they said tusa smallest mask is the Zensee Pro with a small frame, and the Paragon s is a medium to large frame. Paid shipping $38 Now I have to pay shipping to send it back $38 Because I open the box to try the mask on 20% restocking fee of $44 Then I had to pay shipping for them to send me a new smaller mask $38 if I had ordered what I wanted from the beginning the pro and not asked for advice I would not be in this situation. I lost the initial investment of the mask and the shipping, the money is not the issue but the policy is. This business has policys that are in place to support and finalize the sale providing zero support to the customer who paid the price for trusting their sell personnel. As you can see I reorder from Amazon, if it doesn't fit you can return it at no cost.

Great overall experience. Went in not really knowing much about snorkeling and staff was very helpful. Cyndi was amazing and made sure we not only bought the right things but educated us on how to care for the products.

New full face snorkel mask.

My family (of 5) and I came here to trade out some BCDs we got as a package deal and Stormie was beyond helpful for the whole process.

For 20+ years of living in South Florida, I wanted to get my open water diving certification but every year, life happens. Through friends I found Aquatic Ventures by way of an awesome foundation called Dive4Vets and there began my adventure. Setting up my schedule couldn't have been easier. The staff here are...well, are you old enough to remember Cheers? If you are, it felt like that-as if we've known each other for years. Walking into the shop, there's a great selection of gear but I'm here to learn and learn I did! Classroom and pool day was my first experience trying to breathe underwater which is an odd thing. The following day, we were off to Tigertail Lake not too far away. Note: even though it was close to 90, the water temp was 76! Be prepared. Final dives were again in Tigertail due to uncooperative weather. Through the staffs instruction, I feel confident and comfortable being underwater and they truly care about each individuals progress and success. If you are already certified, check out their gear at great prices. If you're not certified, go! RUN! FLY! To Aquatic Ventures. If you're a disabled vet, give Dive4Vets a look!

Z even helped me on my 2nd day of certification in the open water. It was such a nice dive out in the reef. On my 3rd and final day I had Moe and Laura to help me with my final portion of certification. It was a great time as I got to see a turtle and tiny crab that dive. I corkscrew have had a much better experience at this place. Oh I forgot to mention, I drove in from Tampa as I was recommended this Dive Shop. I hope to come back and dive with them on a trip or two they have planned on the coming months.

I recently dived with this charter and found the crew to be friendly, competent, and efficient in…read moregetting us to and from the dive site. Unfortunately, several operational policies and equipment limitations made the overall experience less than ideal. Despite being fully trained, equipped, certified, and accustomed to solo diving with redundant gear, I was told solo diving is not allowed due to "insurance." This was disappointing, particularly since literally every other South Florida operator I dived with on this same trip had no issue with certified solo divers. Being forced into an instabuddy situation can actually increase risk if the assigned buddy lacks experience or compatibility. No dive guide is provided, which makes the restriction even more arbitrary. Limited Tank Options. Aluminum 80s are offered. No steel tanks and no Nitrox. On deeper sites (60-100 ft), this significantly limits bottom time compared to charters that offer enriched air or higher‑capacity cylinders. The boat uses plastic tank arms to secure the tanks. When I asked for a bungee, I was told it wasn't necessary for tanks without gear on them. During the ride back, an empty tank broke free and rolled across the deck. This is a preventable safety hazard and shouldn't happen on a professional dive boat. There is no bow‑to‑stern tagline, which makes moving alongside the boat in heavy surface current unnecessarily difficult and requires heavy kicking at the end of the dive to avoid missing the stern line. The stern tagline is tied off several feet away from the "fins-off" ladder, forcing divers to remove their fins while holding the ladder with one hand. In rough seas, this is an awkward, difficult and potentially unsafe process. For drift dives, I prefer to do a negative entry and use my own clutch reel which easily unwinds as I jump in and drop to the bottom. Instead, I was told I must splash first, then surface, and wait for the crew to throw the reel to me, even though I made it clear this was not my preferred diving style. This removes control from the diver and isn't consistent with how many experienced charters safely conduct drift dives. The crew themselves were great, but several policies and equipment choices feel unnecessarily restrictive or unsafe, especially compared to other South Florida operators.

If you're looking for a safe, professional, and genuinely fun dive charter operating out of Ft. Lauderdale, this is the crew to book with. The crew is outstanding -- knowledgeable, organized, and clearly passionate about diving. Their briefings are thorough and easy to follow, and they do a great job making divers of all experience levels feel comfortable and confident. The atmosphere on the boat is always relaxed, welcoming, and upbeat. The diving has been consistently excellent. Every trip I've done with American Dream Dive Charters has been well planned, smoothly run, and full of memorable underwater experiences. The crew works hard to put divers on great sites while maintaining a strong focus on safety and customer service. I highly recommend American Dream Dive Charters to anyone looking to dive in Fort Lauderdale. I always look forward to getting back on their boat.

After looking at the website, calling the shop, and exchanging some emails with Cristina (who is very helpful, by the way!) I was set up for a PADI Deep Diver class. I went to the shop on the first day for a gear check. Sebastian (my instructor) had me set up my gear and went over it to make sure everything was in good working order. Everything checked out and we started going over the dives and skills that we needed to cover for the class. All good, and off to the dive boat for the first day of dives. This was a one-on-one class, so I had plenty of time to talk about the course material and other PADI specialties with Sebastian. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and thorough in answering my questions. It was a great first day of dives. Day # 2, Alejandro was my instructor. Another great set of dives. Alejandro had an AOW class going so I tagged along with them to finish the performance requirements for the Deep Dive. At first, I thought he would be more focused on the AOW students, but that wasn't the case at all. Instead, Alejandro made a point to go over the last two dives' objectives and even helped me with some in-water posture performance. I was really happy with the service, experience, and instruction from the team at Squalo! I recommend them if you're in the Miami area!
