Had an awesome scuba diving trip for Women's Dive Day!…read more Boat location is right next to Square Grouper (great for food after), with plenty of free parking. Just drop you stuff off in front of the restaurant and go park the car. Quick walk to the end of the dock to boat "Devotion". Our crew: Kenny was our captain and did an amazing job of tracking everyone and picking up quickly as soon as we came up. Kayla was a dive master and was fantastic at making sure everyone felt comfortable, stayed on the reef, and no one was left behind. Andre was our mate and was very attentive and made sure everyone had everything they needed, and getting in and out of the water was performed safely.

From the time you drop your dive gear off to post-dive libations at Grouper the entire experience with this company is top notch!

My wife and I dove with Kyalami Charters this past Saturday, and the experience was flawless from…read morethe moment we stepped on the dock. We met up with friends from the Down Under Dive Club in Melbourne, FL (the Florida one, not the Aussie one), and everything ran like clockwork. Drop your gear, they load it. Finish your dives, they unload it. Zero hassle, zero stress. Jessica, our dive guide, and Kayla, the deckhand, were absolute pros - organized, attentive, and on-point. Both drift dives were well briefed, smooth, and comfortable for everyone on board. The surface‑interval touches were great too: cold sodas, plenty of water, and fresh watermelon that hit the spot. Kyalami is easily one of the top dive charter operations in south Florida. I almost want to keep them a secret , but they've more than earned the shout‑out. Can't wait to go diving with them again!

My wife and I just finished several weeks of diving in the area with Kyalami and had a fantastic…read moretime. We completed 26 dives each out of both Palm Beach and Jupiter, including a PADI Deep Diver certification before heading to the Blue Hole in Belize. The Kyalami team is outstanding -- true professionals who run a tight operation but still know how to keep things fun. From the office staff to the boat crew, everyone is attentive and detail-oriented. If I had one minor critique, it would be the requirement to complete a waiver for every dive day. There is no legal reason this can't be done once at least per year or season. It was a minor annoyance every day we dove (which was a lot) The diving here is excellent -- it's hard to believe this level of quality exists just a short boat ride off the coast. We dive in January-February and water temperatures ranged from 71-75°F. I wore a 3mm full wetsuit with gloves and a hood and was comfortable, though it was a bit chilly on the colder days. Visibility varied but was often very good. Only a couple of dives were scrubbed due to weather or rough seas. They aren't afraid to cancel if conditions aren't safe -- something we genuinely appreciate. Don't miss visiting Jasper the Goliath Grouper at Breakers Reef or the massive Goliaths and lemon sharks on the Jupiter Wreck Trek. We even had a rare hammerhead sighting during our stay and some massive bull sharks on our deep dive! Top-notch diving with a top-notch crew. We plan to return annually and are even considering a winter home in Florida close enough to dive with them regularly. Can't wait to go back and dive with Kyalami.

From start to finish, the entire team was outstanding; kind, attentive, and incredibly focused on safety. As someone with severe anxiety about the ocean and sharks, I was initially apprehensive, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and secure throughout the adventure. They guided us through the process step by step, patiently checking in on me and the other members of our group while we were in the water. Their extensive knowledge of shark species and what to expect during the snorkeling made a significant difference. I felt reassured knowing I was in capable hands. If you prefer a smaller group setting for your charter experience, Salty Divers is definitely the way to go. They made this an unforgettable outing, and I can't recommend them enough! Whether you're a seasoned snorkeler or a first-timer, this team will make your adventure truly special.

Scott got us fully geared up and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free--super friendly and clearly knows his stuff. Anne was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to make sure everyone felt confident and prepared. And Annie brought such a calm, welcoming energy that instantly put everyone at ease. Now the dive itself... unreal. We saw lemon sharks, bull sharks, massive Goliath groupers, and even a tiger shark. It was one of those dives you replay in your head all day because you can't believe how incredible it was. Everything felt safe, organized, and genuinely fun. The crew clearly loves what they do, and it shows in every detail. Hands down, one of the best ways to spend a Tuesday. Can't wait to go back.

I believe it was Adam who I spoke with on the phone who answered so many questions. Then I dove with Sandy who did my lionfish hunting certification, she was so helpful and was very passionate about her teaching. She worked really hard to make sure we found a few to hunt. Their store is very nice and a lot of good equipment. I had a few dives cancel for weather and they were very communicative about if something canceled. I will definitely be diving with them again!!

Awesome dive experience, the boat crew and captain were experienced and very professional, which is…read moresomething that can be taken for granted but is critical. I have seen dive boat captain/crew on other FL boats who had no idea what to do when things get pear-shaped. Dive guides knowledgeable and professional, Jenny and Uncle Pete. Goliath Groupers, lots of them and up close, the guides educated us on how to interact with the fish. One reef shark cruised by. Lemon sharks came up with us to the safety stop at Bonaire wreck. Recommend Jupiter Dive highly.

We called Dave on the recommendation of the Concierge at our hotel. We wanted to do a local dive,…read moreand were completely unfamiliar with the area. Dave asked appropriate questions about our experience and expectations. He gave us options and was enthusiastic about our choices. He offered private guide services that were outside of our budget, but did not make us feel bad or "less than" about declining them, as some operations do. It was obvious that he wasn't trying to upsell, but just wanted us to have a beautiful dive! The boat he booked us on, the Narcosis, gave us a great experience. When the Captain and crew discovered we'd booked through AquaSafari they became very excited, and said he was a great instructor and respected diver. I highly recommend this operation!

As a passionate diver and father I wanted my 5 kids to have a great introduction to the sport that…read morehad given me such lifelong pleasure. While I live in the west coast of Florida, Bradenton, I'm so happy that I was referred to Dave by a dive friend. She said he was the perfect person to introduce my kids to the sport. It's very important that a person's first dive experiences are positive ones and that they learn everything to a level of confidence that they will be safe confident divers for the rest of their lives. She was so correct! Dave came to my home and conducted NAUI certification training and classroom training followed up with 6 dives in West Palm Beach, FL. I'm so grateful for the impact he had had on my kid's lives! All 5 of them, ages 13-21, had great experiences, passed their certification exams, and have a new appreciation and passion for diving that they will have for the rest of their lives! Dave has incredible interpersonal skills and patience paired with incredible knowledge of SCUBA equipment and physics of diving. He was also able to connect with the whole group and provided a wealth of knowledge. Even though I had been diving for over 20 years and had a great instructor, I learned so much from Dave as he educated my kids. Tiny nuances about proper snorkel breathing or differences in equipment will be great tips I'll value forever. Not only is Dave a great teacher, but he is an incredible guide. In each of the 6 dives he briefed us, set great expectations and followed through with guidance for a great experience for each dive. We could not have asked for a better guide and experience! My youngest daughter was turning 13 the day of our last dive. Dave surprised us with a fudge cake and had the boat crew give my daughter a "cake" treatment after her last dive. Whether you are intruding a loved one to the sport, looking to continue your scuba education or want to have great dive guidance, I can't recommend Dave highly enough!

Here's my short (and long) of my recent experience with Finatix Scuba Diving and Tammy Goodbar…read more The short version; Tammy and Finatix are my "go-to" for dive instructions and dive guides in the West Palm Beach area. Professional, accommodating, attentive and very, very safe. She just did a refresher for me after 4 years without diving. She was gentle but firm in confirming my skills in gear prep, dive planning, buddy procedures, hand signals and both beach and boat procedures. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for scuba dive training or dive guides. The Long Version; I first met Tammy when I was doing a underwater macro photography workshop at the Blue Heron bridge in Riviera Beach, Florida back in August 2016. At the time I had been a certified diver for almost 30 years. Tammy was one of the guides and I was lucky enough to be in her group. I was impressed with her professionalism and her eye I spotting the little critters we were there to photograph. Over the three days of the workshop I got to see that my first impression was not a fluke. Day after day Tammy was a pro wrangling the photographers and uncanny in spotting subject for us to shoot. I left that workshop impressed and with her number. By the time the Covid 19 pandemic hit I had some non-Covid medical challenges that required a couple major surgeries. The results of which made my ability to continue scuba diving a question. I live in California and although we have some great diving the water temperature is never really warm. When considering how best to determine my ability to dive I remembered diving with Tammy in the (nice warm) waters of Florida. At the beginning of 2023 I called her to see if I might retain her to review my abilities and skills one-on-one. She was immediately on board and we determined that June would be a good month for both of us and the waters would be warm. I booked her on the spot. I got down to West Palm Beach this last Saturday (6/17/2023) and came by Finatix to select rental equipment, sign the ever present paperwork and review our plan for the next couple days. We set a time to meet for the beach dive at Blue Heron bridge the next day. We met there and went through setting up the gear. As balance issues are one of my residual challenges Tammy insisted on carrying my gear to the beach. We reviewed our dive plan and got in the water. On descending we reviewed some skills and started the dive. Tammy led and kept an eye on my checking that I was "OK" regularly. Inn our 50-minute dive we managed to spot; Southern Ray, Eagle Ray, Yellow Ray, lobster, crabs mating, A Sharp-Tailed Ray feeding and a playful Octopus. We ended the day with an agreed time to meet for a 2-tank boat dive the next day. Tammy took the gear and brought it to the boat dock as well as getting it on-board. Before we boarded we reviewed boat procedures again. We went out for our first dive and she was careful to make sure that I could safely manage the difficult task of getting into the water off a rolling boat with heavy dive gear on my back. We continued practicing dive skills and cruised the reef seeing more great stuff including several sea turtles and eels. As this was drift style diving, we came up after doing the required 15' safety stop for 3 minutes in mid-water. A good test of buoyancy control. The boat picked us up and she monitored my ability to remove my fins, hand them up and climb the later with my gear on. After a surface interval we did a second dive then headed in. Tammy took care of the gear, signed my logbook and insisted that I had accomplished all the skills review that would confirm that I could still dive. I know the next time I'm down in the West Palm / Riviera Beach area Tammy and Finatix are going to be my first call.

Tammy is the consummate professional and her thorough training left me feeling confident, safe, and…read moreexcited to explore the ocean. She was patient with me and explained everything clearly for every step of the way. Her passion for safety was evident and this helped me feel secure as we started, performed, completed each exercise and dive. I highly recommend Finatix and Tammy!
