Barracuda
Erica W.

Had an awesome scuba diving trip for Women's Dive Day! 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.

Scuba works isn't just a dive shop it's a dive family. No matter if it's a trip on the boat or stopping in the shop it's always a special experience with this shop and their employees. And by the way their boat dive ocean is by far the most comfortable dive boat in the area.

My wife and I purchased the open-water training course. It was much more involved and through than we anticipated. It was great!!! I purchased the course as a Christmas gift being that we love to travel and have dived before at a resort that had Discovery-Scuba. The resort dive was fun, but the quick explanation of everything before being thrown it the water wasn't the best idea we had. The Scuba Works certification course with Lexi answered all the questions we didn't get from the resort dive and much more. Day-1: is an indoor classroom that goes over everything that you were supposed to read well before the class. Day-2: is an all day deep water pool to learn all the fundamentals Day-3 & 4: Is completed 4 short dives to be tested on everything that was learned from the books, classroom & pool dives. Lexi & the rest of the staff were great! I'd recommend Scuba Works & or Lexi without hesitation...

One of the many turtles we saw

Went on my first boat dive with Scuba Works recently and had the best experience. The captain and the boat crew were so knowledgeable, friendly, and did their best to make sure we were all comfortable and safe, and that we got to see all the wildlife we encountered along the way. We saw so many beautiful turtles!

Great boat, great crew. Even the parking at the marina is much easier to access than most charters. 2nd time diving with this company and couldn't be happier. Will definitely dive with them again.

Had an amazing weekend diving with the ScubaWorks crew! The customer service is impeccable and the captain/crew do everything to make sure all divers are comfortable and have awesome dives. We did eight dives over two days, and their efficiency and punctuality is very impressive. Captain Kenny handles the boat like a dream making entries and exits a breeze. Kayla, Bryan, Zach, and Austin are the best in the water and on the deck, always there to help with anything a diver needs. It is also important to note that this operation dives when others cancel - I am confident in the captain and crew's judgement and know the dives will be safe and spectacular. Can't wait to dive with them again!

We just had two days of fantastic scuba diving with Scubaworks. We saw the Juno Ledge, Goliath Groupers, Lemon, and Caribbean Reef Sharks all in their natural environment. Capt Jeff gave us perfect drops onto the Ledge/Reef and was there quickly to pick us up. Mike and crew took good care of us both on the boat and under the water. They provided excellent dive and safety briefings but remembered to make it fun for all the divers. We are locals and dive a lot out of Riviera/WPB so we know good Dive Ops and Crew's and Scubaworks is second to none. Thanks for the great diving experience and we look forward to coming back soon.

Boat Trip!

Florida Shark Diving

Five stars for an unforgettable shark experience off the coast of Jupiter, Florida! From the moment…read morewe hopped on the boat, the crew's enthusiasm and expertise were amazing. They provided a good safety briefing and shared things about the sharks, setting the stage for an adventure. The crystal-clear water made it easy to spot a variety of sharks, including bull sharks and even a glimpse of a sand, not from a wanting distance. but safe yes. The guides were incredibly there, making sure everyone felt good and throughout the entire thing. They were nice when answering questions and pointing out interesting marine life, making the experience fun. The snorkeling gear was in an okay condition, and the boat was clean and well-maintained. It's clear that this company prioritizes both the safety of their guests and the well-being of the sharks. If you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping yet responsible way to experience Florida's marine life, look no further. Shark snorkeling with this company exceeded all expectations, leaving me with an appreciation for these magnificent creatures and a desire to return for another dive. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an adventure they'll never forget! but there is no cage, don't hope for one! although i bet you can get some on other boats i think they just want you to feel comfortable, i do not recommend the cage! i feel even if your scared its epic with out it! not a variety of sharks, but thats ultimately fine.. its the best go 100%!!

They explained the boat and what we need to do to prepare us for the water and the sharks. I was a little nervous at first but my fear slipped away and I became one with the ocean and the sharks.

Emerald Charters - Emerald Charter's Boat

Emerald Charters

TLDR: We had a great time doing a 3 tank shark dive with this company. Their service and…read moreprofessionalism are evident, and they still have great personalities that keep the anxious divers relax. The story: My wife has been diving for 20 years but has never seen a hammerhead shark. When we were looking at different charter companies for shark diving, we found Emerald Charters and had multiple phone calls back and forth with Randy, the owner, setting up the trip and also answering LOTS of questions. My wife had no concerns whatsoever, but after talking to some people who told horror stories of being thrown into the water after they drop chum in, I had questions I have a hard time believing that that can even be true, buuut it did prompt me to ask Randy. So it turns out that Emerald doesn't do it that way. We would be following a guy with a bait bin (think of fish parts in a big cat toy) and never actually be in contact with the bait. Phew! Randy is in charge of the boat. The scuba portion and gear is provided by a concierge scuba outfit called Jupiter Scuba. We contacted them the days before the dive. They helped us fill out all the forms and made sure we had the gear we needed for the dive. It was going to be a 3-tank drift dive across a wreck field, so we knew that getting cold could be a factor in late March. We rented one of those giant, fluffy warming coats for my wife during the surface interval. She gets cold usually by the end of the 1st dive, and we wanted to make sure she got all 3 dives in to have a chance to see her hammerhead. The place you meet is under an overpass where there is a fishing dock and ample parking. It also appeared clean and safe - but the town is also pretty nice. We passed the turn on the first try because we were looking for an address marker on a storefront when all we had to do was turn left under the overpass. Pretty sure that was on us. The gear was all there waiting for us and we went through the Nitrox mix on our tanks and checked our rental gear. We only rented fins, wet suits, and hoods, but others came with just bathing suits. The gear was in good shape and easy to use, and after we had all checked through in the parking area, they brought all the gear down to the boat. All we had to do was walk. At the boat, we met Randy who introduced our Skipper, Brandon and deck hand Shelly. They both did a great job the entire time. Brandon handled the boat like a pro. He minimized rolling and was always to us quickly and safely when we surfaced. Shelly was on the spot for everything we needed including helping me escape from the bungie holding my tank in when I had only seconds to get up and dive. She rocks! The boat was comfortable for the 14 divers we had. The head was clean and easy to use. We saw 20 plus lemon sharks every dive. They are actually sort of tame. During the second dive, an 8 foot, juvenile tiger shark came in at the end, and the third dive had all the lemons, the tiger returning and staying most of the dive, and even Thor, the 10 foot great hammerhead, visited. It was amazing!! the return back to the docks was comfortable and easy as was the offload. The Good: Nice boat, comfortable and well appointed. Very knowledgeable staff who helped us with every problem that arose. Great dive and a wonderful day. The Bad: Nothing at all. The mediocre: Really nothing. Overall: We will dive with Emerald again when we return. I have no reservations about recommending them. Since you read this far: Some people have a problem with bait diving for sharks. It is true that this activity is modifying their behavior to a certain extent, but so is every other thing that man does in the ocean. I believe in conservation and not preservation, so I believe that the more people have a chance to see sharks in person and experience the simple, calm, and pleasant interactions, it will change their opinion about sharks in general. I believe this will lead to greater conservation efforts and people will STOP EATING SHARK FIN SOUP! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk :-)

Safety is always a focus in diving and this company really is top notch. Cannot thank them enough for the most amazing experience.

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.

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!
