Kirk's Dive & Surf is literally the best place to get some scuba time in!!! Here's what was…read moreimportant to me and why I think Kirk is the best: 1) I wanted to do scuba diving with my kids for their 13th birthday & Kirk gave me so much info and was so helpful with educating me on how we could do it & what our limitations would be. 2) We did not have to take multiple classes or have any certifications. All we had to do was download an app on our phones and answer some questions & watch some videos to educate us on the basics of scuba diving. Super simple & fun. 3) Kirk gave us an address to meet them at we showed up and he went through the details and what we were going to be doing & how the equipment worked. 4) Kirk has a presence about him that is calming and his charismatic ways of breaking down fears and anxiousness about scuba diving make it clear we chose the right place. 5) Kirk did not disappoint! We saw a shipwreck with coral, tons of fish and lobsters! We also saw 3 HUGE ORANGE STARFISH. We saw a puffer fish, really cool jellyfish & literally tons of different kinds of fish too. 6) This is an adventure that has blown our minds. We each were in awe of what we all saw & experienced. I truly think choosing Kirk's Dive & Surf was the best choice & we will be seeing more of Kirk. 7) Kirk's shop is in downtown Jensen right next to Mulligans (a great restaurant for the family). Stop by and see him and let him know Adam Portzel referred you!

My dive guide Susan was excellent and took this video of a Goliath grouper which circled us for some time. Perhaps around 500 pounds, it's hard to tell the scale in the video. She got close enough for us to pet her. I would definitely do this dive again, the team was awesome!

We got to see a shark, two Goliath groupers, some lion fish, and a bunch of other beautiful creatures! Thanks for making our experience memorable ! We will be back in the near future !

My brother and I dove with Pura Vida Divers last week, and unfortunately it was one of the worst…read moredive experiences I've had -- and I've dove many times all over the world. Before booking, we were very clear that we were relatively new divers and had never done a drift dive. We specifically expressed that we wanted to feel safe and properly supported. We were assured it would be fine, but once we were in the water, the support simply wasn't there. There was very little help with weights at the start. I quickly realized I was underweighted and had to go back and get more, which immediately separated me from the group. From there, things only got worse. I ended up alone on the reef during a drift -- something that should never happen -- and ultimately had to surface solo and wait for the boat by myself. To make matters worse, my surface marker/flag device wouldn't inflate properly, and I had to be picked up alone. At no point did I feel like anyone from the team was proactively ensuring I was safe or accounted for. Afterward, the only response I received was essentially, "Sorry you had a bad experience." That was the extent of the support. The diving itself may be beautiful, but the staff's lack of attentiveness and concern for client safety and experience was deeply disappointing. When newer divers communicate nervousness and inexperience with drift diving, that should be taken seriously -- not brushed aside. This wasn't about conditions or bad luck. It was about a lack of care and leadership. I would not recommend this operation to newer divers, and I left feeling unsettled rather than excited about the dive.

Communication was excellent during both the booking process and the trip itself. Everything was well organized and clearly taken care of. The dive itself was exceptional, with loggerhead turtles, goliath groupers, lemon sharks, and bull sharks all making appearances. The next day I booked a guided night dive at Blue Heron Bridge with Ethan. Once again, the communication was top-notch. Ethan was a fantastic guide, expertly taking us to several micro-environments and pointing out an incredible variety of critters--many of which I had never seen before, even though I had visited the bridge a couple of times previously.

I believe it was Adam who I spoke with on the phone who answered so many questions. Then I dove with Sandy who did my lionfish hunting certification, she was so helpful and was very passionate about her teaching. She worked really hard to make sure we found a few to hunt. Their store is very nice and a lot of good equipment. I had a few dives cancel for weather and they were very communicative about if something canceled. I will definitely be diving with them again!!

I have seen dive boat captain/crew on other FL boats who had no idea what to do when things get pear-shaped. Dive guides knowledgeable and professional, Jenny and Uncle Pete.

Recommend Jupiter Dive highly.

I thought I had stowed our gear properly---when I could not open my one bag, I felt embarrassed. Jeff did not make me feel bad and helped us get our gear out.

We also look forward to a night dive there. Professional and friendly service. Everyone had a smile and did not rush their customers. Looking forward to our relationship so we can take advantage of our diving gems. P.S. The Home Depot for diving!

We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of training Teddie provided, attention to detail and safety, and absolutely grateful to have had such a knowledgeable, kind, cool and patient master instructor; culminating in an incredible experience overall. In addition to the first class training provided, everyone we've interacted from the dive shop was friendly, knowledgable, non-pushy, and all possessed a genuine passion for service, and insuring customers have the best possible dive experiences. In addition, the dive shop has a great vibe with a price match assurance, a solid loyalty program, fills on-site, and quality products stocked along with a great return/exchange policy. Anyone considering an OW certification or beyond, look no further, Teddie B is an absolute standout instructor, and literally, someone you can confidently intrust yours or your loved ones life with. Anyone hesitant on Scuba certification for a silly reason or another, give Teddie B or another Force-E instructor, a shot in a Try-Scuba class and you'll soon be well on your way adventuring into the tranquil beauty of the Ocean and addicted to diving. A++ and a thank you to the Force-E team!

Eriin who is the owner/host is amazing along with Captain Dave, his expertise on the waterways second to none. Erinn made sure we felt safe with a short safety briefing that made us feel comfortable, and her knowledge of the local area and wildlife made the trip more enjoyable. We were able to enjoy the beautiful weather, relax and bond as a team and take in the stunning views. Overall we didn't end up stranded on an island like that old TV show! Instead we had an absolute blast. I highly recommend Errin and her catamaran for any team-building event or outing. You won't be disappointed.
