Jeff patiently took a lot of time to go over the training package they offer, help me pick out a mask and some other gear, and answer all of my questions. I will definitely be coming back to take the diving classes. From what I've gathered so far, like any hobby, the world of diving is full of options, opinions, and opportunities to learn. If the instruction for classes is as thorough as the overview I received on my first visit into the store, I'm highly confident that the team at America Diver's International will give me the best information possible to get me set up for success.

We spent about an hour at Divers Direct Orlando, and it was time very well spent. Walter (Walt) was…read moreincredible helping my mom find a properly fitting mask. She has a very petite face and has struggled for years to find one that actually works. Walt was so patient and walked her through everything step by step. He also helped her find basic swim gear, including a shorty wetsuit that fit correctly without leaking. While he was working with her, I explored the massive store and picked up fins, booties, and a full-length wetsuit. I love that they have so much inventory. You can really take your time trying different options and finding what fits best. I was able to compare fins with different bootie lengths and try on wetsuits that were actually sized correctly. Huge shoutout as well to the general manager Rachael and assistant manager Loren for their patience during checkout. My mom was able to drive her gear home, but I was flying back to Virginia the next day and stressing about packing everything. They reminded me about the free shipping over a certain amount, which was an epic stress reliever. Overall, I absolutely love this store. I wish we had something like it where I live. I'll definitely be following their social pages to keep an eye on future trips and events. Such a great group of people.

I was only looking for some snorkeling fins, and it was very easy to navigate the store and find…read morethe area where they had a variety of fins in different colors and price ranges from $40-110 adult fins and slightly less for kids fins. Ladies, the fins are sized for men unfortunately, so pick the size that is about 1.5 sizes lower than what you usually wear, based on advice I got from a staff member. Sure enough, as someone who normally wears a women's 11, the size 9-10 fins fit perfectly, and I didn't even bother trying any other sizes. There were plenty of fins for a variety of sizes available, and prices were competitive, reasonable, and accurate compared to their website. The staff member at the register was able to apply the 10% off welcome offer to my order, so I walked away with brand new fins for less than $40! Overall a very smooth process!

Couldn't of asked for a better first ocean dive! Call ahead to see when they are going diving because they don't dive everyday. Went out of Blue Herron bridge and the visibility was awesome. 80 to 100 ft. At least. Saw a bunch of fish, turtles, sting ray, and eel. About $100-$140 to rent a wet suit, tanks, weight, and anything you need. Great experience and I can't wait to go back and do it again! Thank you!

I had some concerns because although my daughter is a strong swimmer she can be flighty. Mark her instructor was very personable. He has a calm demeanor about him and jolly at the same time. It is clear he loves to dive and teach. My daughter said he has a special way to explain things that make it extra fun. I think Mark was very patient and he let her wander around and take some time to look at everything in amazement, rather than constantly tapping her on the shoulder to get her back on task. This made her experience much more enjoyable and she is totally in love with the underwater world.

Robert at Depth Perception made me feel very comfortable so we booked with them. The communication prior to arrival was excellent we knew what to expect coming in from out of state. Once we met him in person I knew we had made the right choice. Robert is a GREAT instructor. He took the time to get to know my daughter's level of comfort in and out of the water. He is very patient, his tone of voice is very level so super easy to understand and he is very knowledgeable. I noticed that he was respected at both dive sites we went to. After completion of open water certification he made sure that the proper forms were submitted back to the home dive shop. I highly recommend Dept Perception and Robert.
