It was due to an automobile accident that they were unable to deliver or respond to our booking. This is very unfortunate as they are a sole operator with no backup in this case of emergency. The business is definitely not a scam, but a victim of an unfortunate accident. We did promptly receive a refund without having to ask. Communication could have been better, but in the end we were made whole.

Look no further than Bay Breeze Dive Center (BBDC), the one-stop shop for all your scuba needs. The…read moresmall shop is located in Gulf Breeze between Thai 54 and the Quality Inn right off the 3 mile bridge, and the knowledgeable, friendly staff will make scuba training, along with gear purchase, a fun and enjoyable experience. I purchased BBDC's summer rate scuba classes to obtain NAUI recreational diver certification, which was $170-ish per person with an additional requirement of purchasing $200 worth of product in their shop. Most dive charters don't supply fins, snorkel/mask, and booties and require people to have these products before renting scuba gear. So while the $300 per person class price tag at other operations initially seems like a better value, in the long run it's not. BBCD has a wide selection of quality and budget gear to select from. The first day of training was in the pool at the Club in Gulf Breeze. Our class size was eight plus two instructors (Bruce, and Carlos the owner). I cannot say enough about these instructors. I never had swimming lessons so was very inexperienced, and very nervous. Of course, breathing underwater is unlike normal respiration and I ended up having several panic attacks in the pool. Carlos and Bruce spent extra time with me and let me go at my own pace. I was never pushed or forced into doing something with which I was uncomfortable. Because of my slow pace, our class was in the pool from 11-5PM. While that seems long, it's important to takeaway that neither of them lost their patience with me and they never gave up on me. BBDC allowed us to complete our training dives several weeks apart. Day 2 dive was on 8/20/16 (Saturday) at Fort Pickens. The visibility was 5ft at best, but Bruce held my hand, navigating me on our 26 minute dive to a depth of 28 feet. It was very cool seeing all the tiny fish lurking underwater. Bruce found a puffer fish and gave him to me to hold in my hand. These are little things that instructors don't have to do, but Bruce did to make the experience more memorable and exciting. Day 3, 8/28/16 (Sunday), was cloudy, and while the visibility was better, the current was strong. Throughout two, 20+minute dives, Bruce made myself and 5 other people feel safe in the strong current. We found a flounder, which Bruce masterfully caught, and several live sand dollars (which are purple, not white when alive). At the end of the day, my husband and I became scuba certified and we are looking forward to pursing some of BBDC's more advanced classes and charter dives in the future. I highly recommend this place, whether it is buying gear of any kind, to getting FREE advice on where to dive, to having tanks re-filled, gear serviced (if bought from them), even to free kittens. Yes, sometimes they have kittens at their facility to give away to a good home for free. The owner Carlos reminded us on several occasions that he will attempt to match or beat any online price, so test out his offer before buying from an online supplier. They want your business and supporting local mom and pop businesses is better for the local economy than purchasing online. Besides, if you purchase items from them and something is wrong or it needs maintenance, you can bring it In for them to help. Thanks to Bruce, Carlos, and the BBDC team for making scuba certification such a positive experience!

We stayed at the SpringHill Suites on Navarre Beach where LDV offers beach chairs & umbrellas for…read morerental. We rented chairs Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday while there. Based on our 3 day experience, you may anticipate the LDV staff being super friendly until you pay them the $70 rental fee and then they will ignore you for the rest of the day. They won't assist with the chairs, they won't move the umbrellas to reposition the shade, etc. Nada - they just hang out near the board walk collecting rental fees. While I've experienced better customer service, that's not what upset me. Friday afternoon about 2pm, an LDV employee walked up from behind the chairs and without a word of warning grabbed my backpack and hat, then announced that he was closing the umbrella "because the umbrella was flapping in the breeze." When he grabbed my bag, I protested and told him to let go of my bag. He did but then got all indignant and mouthy... kept telling me that he wasn't trying to steal my bag, to "calm down", etc. Not sure why in the world he thought it would be appropriate to walk up and grab a strangers belongings but it was rude and entitled. I don't care if a storm was approaching... don't care if the wind was picking up... you could have taken 15 seconds to be a decent human being and just say "Hey, we need to fold up the umbrellas" and I would have been totally fine picking up my bag and leaving. Keep your hands off my property, Dude. Total buzz kill for an otherwise great day at the beach.

SUMMARY: Excellent equipment, friendly staff, prime Navarre…read moreBeach location. We rented 3 seadoo's for 4 people on a perfect Monday afternoon. 1 seadoo was shared by me and a 13 year old, the other two by 2 adults (18 and 40ish :) The seadoo's were fast, comfortable and easy to use. The staff fully explained all of the ins and outs. The two guys manning the hut were super friendly and helpful. We paid $90 per hour for each seadoo. We choose to buy the $5 insurance per vehicle. LOCATION: Located conveniently in the bay on the right just before crossing into the Navarre Beach island. There's not a lot of intercoastal waterway traffic to get in your way.. One nice benefit is the Sailors Grille and Juan Pagoda's right next door. After our ride we had a nice afternoon of food and drinks while enjoying views of the bay and people playing volleyball. If you want bar food, Juan Pagoda's ToGo bites can be purchased and enjoyed on the beach area (food looked good, we didn't buy anything) If there's one negative I'd say it's the size of the bay available for riding the seadoo's. I mean it's a big area for sure, but some riders may find it limiting. OTHER: You can rent kayak's, pontoon boats and other stuff. See their website for more info. RATING NOTES 5: should be the best experience you could've possibly had for that type of business. 3 or 4: this is certainly not a negative. Just means average to above average. 2: basically denotes a below average experience. 1: on the flipside this way over used rating should be reserved basically if someone died (so to speak), bug in food, etc. Sorry big baby millennials, if your food takes five minutes too long that's not a one star review.
