    It was my first time experience and i don't even know how to swim. My trainer was Paola and she was awesome very well patient and best instructor ever. I am scared of oceans but i did not feel anything like this. I learnt how to do everything and my trainer or diver paola was with me every single second checking my oxygen level, comfort level in diving suit and made sure i am ready to go. It was two different dives both were awesome she also taught us emergency tricks incase if i ever loose control. This was very memorable and most adventure thing i have ever done. Thank you soo much guys. You guys are awesome.

    I had a fantastic day with Squalo! They made special accommodations for my Sunday refresher course dive. Ilan was my instructor and he made sure I was comfortable in the pool and knew what to do even though it had been 10 years since my last dive. He tested and encouraged me through every step from assembling my equipment to deep water tests. We went out with Pompano Bay divers because The Miami boat was grounded for high winds. Overall two-1 tank divas was the perfect amount. It was a great day. Tip: bring your own food so you're not starving halfway through the day.

    I highly recommend Squalo Divers! They saved my vacation and open water certification. Sebastian and Alejandro are extremely professional and very nice! They made a bad situation with an unprofessional dive individual, and turned it all around for me! I'll be back to Squalo for my advanced open water and for my Nitrox!

    Another wonderful day to, on, in, and below the water (and back!). Squalo as usual makes sure we had all the info we needed before the trip up to Jupiter for Shark Diving and helped us find the marina by phone when our GPS went to sleep! Went out with Calypso Dive Charters on the Miss Jackie. Small group, outstanding crew, and very nice folks to dive with!

    Got my advanced open water certification here and will continue to come back to do the rest of my dive training here!! Such great instructors that are patient and really know how to teach skills. Mike and Alejandro were great. Alejandro did my boat dives for deep diving and wreck diving. The way he explained everything to me and reviewed important information to remember during the dive briefing was efficient. He was sure to point out hazards and things to never do during a wreck dive and while carrying a surface float. I ended up performing great and using little gas because I was not as anxious. Can't wait to return!!

    I am so happy I found this place to become certified as open eater diver Without a doubt this has been one of the best experiences of my life. They are so professional and helpful. Sebastian and Alejandro are incredible people. They both explain so well, they have a lot of patience, it shows that they love what they do. Scualo Divers exceeded my expectations Thank you with all my heart for your services.

Dock location was easy to find, and you can pay for parking using an app at a nearby location. There are restrooms at nearby businesses to change, which the crew will point out. Those bathrooms were okay, but not well maintained and not connected to this business. They also DBA as Tarpoon Lagoon Diving Center. You need to bring the main things, gear or rent, food, drink, sunscreen, tip for crew. Crew was extremely great and knowledgeable. Nice boat and well equipped to take out for snorkeling, felt like the middle of nowhere, but once in the water you could see a lot underneath. It is not great for those who stay on top because you look down from 13-15' of water so things are down a bit and you will have to dive to get a closer look. Crew let us stay out the whole time even though most of the other passengers gave up after a brief swim. I went on a different trip into Biscayne National Park where the water was 3-8' and I saw much more. I felt like the bottom of the water at this location was too deep to enjoy as much and was disturbed with less life. Overall a GOOD trip with experienced crew and a great time.

    I had a great trip thank you for having me! Beautiful day to dive Rainbow and Neptune Reef…read more C. Burgess

He had more than ample opportunity, and continuously kept canceling and pushing me off, blaming the weather while other shops were holding lessons. His method of business is day to day with no consideration for others, and no actual scheduling or professionalism. I was able to complete everything with another dive Center, which is actually professional Squalo Divers. (Highly recommend them!!!) And when he discovered I was going to go with Squalo he mentioned he works with them. So not really sure why Squalo was able to get this all completed and not sure why I had to go through the pain and suffering of dealing with this arrogant, angry man. It was not a pleasant experience with H2O, and I do not recommend it. He was nice enough to graciously give me a refund of 1/3 the price I paid- which he basically kept 2/3 for review and pool dive. Sad!! In the end, ended up costing me an additional 400$ due to them not having it together! Save yourself the hassle and money and go with a certified Padi Dive shop.

    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.
