Forget about great Captain and Dive Master, this boat has great people too!! It's one thing to be full service, as many dive boats advertise but don't deliver, it a whole other thing to be so truly interested in making sure everyone has the best possible day the ocean has to offer while remaining safe. I have never experienced this level of service. read more

We had a world class time on our dive with Star Fish Scuba. It was my first dive since getting certified and my partners 50+ dive. Both of us had a great experience. The crew were friendly, funny, caring, and knowledgeable. The boat was full, but not over crowded and the experience was phenomenal. I can't recommend them highly enough. We'll be sure to visit again when we're in the area! read more

Starfish Scuba - Heading out of Boynton Inlet for some great diving - Scuba Diving Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

Best reef diving Florida has to offer!!! Starfish is my charter of choice forever and always!!! Best captains and DMs in the industry!!

First time with Starfish and did not disappoint. Zach and Chris run a great operation, interact with the divers, keep things lively and entertaining. The reefs we dove today were great, so much to see. Highly recommend. read more

This is my favorite place to go diving with every time I'm in Florida for the past 3 years. The captain, the crew and the guides are very attentive and make sure you get the most out of your dives. Even when the weather doesn't cooperate, they do their best to reschedule and make sure you get to go another day. I'm sure I'll be back again next year. read more

Starfish Scuba - Scuba Diving Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

Love this boat! Great captain Chris and Zach DM. Even with his jokes! Lol. Boat is very comfortable and reefs are amazing!

Solid crew, experienced Captain, definitely a great choice for both Open Water and AOW divers!! Note: no guide in the water without prior request and payment. Nice comfortably large boat! Fresh water shower! Defog always available. Free rental weights (Not all boats provide). Tied with one other Scuba Boat in the Boynton Beach area!! My decision usually depends on how early we want to go diving and what locations the Captains have available. read more

This is the absolute best dive charter in south Florida. Safest and most fun boat I've ever been on. Capt. Chris is the best boat captain I've ever been with, and he truly cares about the environment. Incredible diving at the the right price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

I just got a call from Chris. He's the captain of the boat and said that be recently purchased SF Scuba from Adam. That being said we talked about my hesitation to post the review, but was talked to by others to post my honest review as I had a major safety concern. Anyhow, after a somewhat decent chat Chris then says you know I was on that boat that day and this didn't happen. I told him I was on the surface for 5-10 minutes but it felt like an hour. He said he was never more than 500 yard away and saw me at all times. Why did an other boat stop? Then he said this is how drift dives run. I reminded him that the whole group was dropped at the 2nd location and re-iterated that they would " be there" and for me to "follow the flag up" if there was an issue. Well, I did..they weren't there and then I reminded Chris that after they picked up the rest of the group then we went and picked up ADAM who was dropped elsewhere AFTER they dropped us. This is where Chris lost his mind, started yelling and I yelled back and eventually hung up on him. He's trash, Adam at least is a good guy but Chris is a piece of garbage. Funny thing - he was running a charter but yapping away with me from the bridge the whole time just now. Safety first, huh Starfish Scuba? P.s. I was in force e pompano two weeks ago and mentioned I had a bad charter in palm beach, barely say spearfishing and he says "starfish scuba huh". They are notorious for doing that to people he tells me. Awesome. read more

I've been diving in South Florida for some time and while there are a few good operations, none in my opinion are as well run or as fun as Starfish. First of all the boat is always clean which makes arriving and boarding very pleasant. The crew (Adam-owner, Maggie-captain and jason-DM) are all extremely knowledgeable and make diving on Starfish a blast. Starfish has good snacks and lots of water on board. Because the crew are all instructors who know the reefs very well, there is no shortage of great things to see. Whether your spearfishing, lobstering, or just going out for a casual dive they will make sure you have a wonderful time. I am a very satisfied customer and look forward to my next dive with Starfish! read more

Starfish Scuba - Great dive on Starfish! - Scuba Diving Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

Derek went above and beyond to make sure I had a successful PADI refresher course. Will definitely charter again with these guys soon. Highly recommend! read more

Adam & Maggie are an awesome team. They are very knowledgeable about the sport and know a lot of great spots in the area. From the individual briefings to the helping hand with gear, the Starfish crew works very hard to ensure safety and fun. They'll even jump in to find your camera! The boat is located very close to the road, so you're not lugging your gear very far. Definitely one of the more reasonably priced charters in the area too. read more

Been out with them twice now, and really liking them. I also love the castor. I will be back for sure. Awesome crew, captain, and overall business. read more

Starfish is always amazing. The crew is friendly and informative. And always there for you and your needs. They are helpful with information regarding the reefs and scuba equipment. And since I started diving with them. I refuse to go anywhere else. Starfish is amazing. Keep up the good work guys. read more

First rate all the way. Best Dive ops in the area. Boynton location. Excellent staff and Captain is great. You will be impressed.

Maggie and crew certified us and continue to provide my daughters and I with great trips. Crew is awesome!!! only people we will dive with in PBC. Thanks again Starfish Scuba!! read more

DO NOT DIVE THIS BOAT IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GEAR Adam Birdwell (owner of starfish scuba) is under the delusion that it's ok to DAMAGE YOUR GEAR and not do anything about it. My Riffe speargun is now damaged beyond use due to the fact it was poorly stowed by a crew member. The gun was caught on a piling and splintered the top of my Riffe E110X (retailing about $700). Adam stated he would make good on the situation by replacing the speargun. It has now been over 6 weeks of getting the "RUN-AROUND" and I regretfully gave Adam the benefit of the doubt given his disposition in our industry for burning bridges with customers & people he does business with. read more

Not a retail shop, but it is easy to find their boat on Google. Very professional and helpful crew. Well equiped boat. Boynton Beach has some of the best reefs in Florida and they will take you there! read more

The best dive operators in all of South Florida. I love diving with the team at Starfish. Safe. Fun. Informative. One of the best dives I've ever been on. I'll be back. read more

Another fantastic day with Starfish Scuba! Adam is always so helpful with spearfishing tips and finding the right spots for fish. Not only did I come home with a couple of fish for dinner, but the marine life was spectacular! Tons of tropical fish, stingrays, goliath groupers, sharks, and turtles. What more can you ask for? Best dive operation in Boynton Beach, FL. read more

Beware Maggi is a liar and a fraud! First things first if you're looking for a place just to dive this place will do although it's by far not the best in the area. (Check out Dixie Divers they are absolutely amazing.)Now DO NOT take any courses with Maggi! I have seen multiple occasions where she was wrong or didn't know basic PADI procedure. One example was mask clearing, a women was perfectly doing the skill using her thumb to lift the bottom of the mask (this method is also taught by PADI. Maggi told her she's doing it wrong and the lady was starting to get really frustrated. Maggi was already giving the lady a sour face when she told me to practice with her. I was able to teach it to her in 2 minuets by using some encouragement. In general I have not seen Maggi actually teach much, it's more like she demonstrates and expects you to already know. I did my rescue diver with her and after asking her multiple times to submit it to PADI she finally did so almost a year later, did my EFR at the same time but that's still not in. My little brother did his open water with her and has also not received his card. I suspect she pockets the money and never submit info to PADI unless you pester her. At the start of the summer only about me doing my dive master there. First she said we could dive while I work on the elearning then it was so some more till I had finally finished it and had only been in the water twice. First she told me there's only 1 elearning when I finished that she told me about another one. I asked if there was a way to not do it and she said no, all I actually had to do was take a 60 question multiple choice test. I asked her 3 times to email me the pricing, do you think I ever got it? She did say it would be a minimum 1500, plus books and elearning. Where I am interning now they charge 699 plus books, and teach themselves. We agreed at the start that since she had my schedule she would just text me when to be where. In reality I'd text her asking when and shed take up to a week to respond, then say she wasn't there, or schedule for a week later. When I asked if I'd be diving every week she said definitely, I was on the boat once, in the pool 3 times and non of them were for my skills. While at the pool she asked my to get a mask from her car, I go get it, the car wasn't super close by, next she wants defog, it's not in her car, I offer mine and go get it from my car. After all that do you think she said thank you???? I let a student use something because she was unprepared and I didn't even get a thank you. She also sold me a BCD that's slightly to big but I only noticed when it was to late to return These are not all the issues but the most important. She also likes to give me and others an extremely rude sour face for anything even,minor mistakes. It all worked out well for me in the end though i switched to Dixie divers and they offered me a part time job within a week. I've learned so much and I feel the positivity, can do attitude, and helpfulness aligns much better with me than her negativity and bad attitude. The other dive instructors have been shocked at the way she treated me and the way she acts as a PADI professional. read more

Here visiting from Cali and wanted the full experience of the Florida diving. Highly recommend this diving company. Very knowledgeable and all staff have a great personality to boot. Here three more days and considering another trip out. read more

I've been diving in Boynton for many years, and I think it's the best diving in South Florida. This really is an excellent outfit, owned and operated by a very nice South Florida couple who really seem to enjoy what they do. They run most every day, even when things are slow. Clean boat, professional crew. Website is an excellent and convenient way to book a dive(s). Rental tanks are waiting on the boat when you arrive, exactly as requested on the website (you can request everything right when you book). Email confirmations make sense, there is no confusion, it's just a pleasure. read more

Just a great group, so helpful and knowledgeable and accommodating. They make everyone like part of the family on vacation.

Great boat crew had a super time diving with them excellent experience for seeing wildlife. Thank you for the great time see you soon.

I dive a lot down here in South Florida and Adam and crew do an outstanding job. They know the spots and are great with the divers. I highly recommend them! read more

Alex and Maggie are the best! Very friendly and customer-oriented. I would recommend Starfish to anyone wanting to dive in the Boynton Beach area. My dives included drift diving and a wreck dive. We explored the MV Castor for my wreck dive. Cool wreck with plenty of Goliath Groupers. If you are lucky, you may even see Wilbur (well know Goliath Grouper). Ask Alex and Maggie for more details about Wilbur. read more

We did our Nitrox course with Starfish Scuba prior to a dive to the Castor, and Maggie made the whole experience so simple- she loaned as the DVD to watch at our convenience, then we just found a time that worked for all of our schedules to meet and go over the material. After completing the course, we went on a dive to the Castor. Maggie and Adam made it a really fun day- they were both very prepared and helpful throughout, and the boat was equipped with plenty of water and snacks. We had a great dive seeing the Goliath groupers. We're excited to do our rescue course with them soon! read more

Fantastic morning of diving with Starfish! Great crew and great diving! Adam and Alex were very welcoming and very friendly. I will be coming back and highly recommend them. read more
