Review from Kevin M.

Did two days worth of two-tank dives with Scuba Adventures over spring break. The experience started in their super clean shop where I waited on pins and needles the first day because there was a tornado watch in a nearby county. We ended up going out after the crew went and scouted the conditions out on the water. Saw nurse sharks, hawksbill and leatherback turtles, dolphins, spiny lobster, eels, and lots of fishies, big and small. Coolest fish was some kind of cow/boxfish with bright blue spots. Water temp was 68 (brrr!) and vis was about 20'. Second day was MUCH better conditions. Water temp was 73 with 60' vis. Dive sites: Bath & Tennis reef, and Flower Gardens reef. Saw 12' nurse shark (1 of 3), HUGE green moray, spotted eagle ray, spiny lobster, pipefish, queen angels, goliath grouper, loggerhead turtle, tons of gorgonians, barrel sponges, giant tube sponges, spiny urchin, christmas tree worms, nudibranch, staghorn coral, vase sponge, sea fans, sea whips, giant brain coral, and lots of fishies.
The crew lineup only had a few changes from day 1 to day 2. They were all very professional and safe, but also lots of fun and created a wonderful experience. Truly a great group to dive with. Highly recommended. -

Had the itch for some diving while in palm beach and these guys had last minute space for me on the boat. I was stoked to get on the water despite pending storms later that day.
Hit up breakers and rons reef. Breakers was cool but rons reef wasn't much. I'd prefer we had visited a wreck on our 2nd dive but overall conditions were good and viz acceptable.
Saw loggerhead turtles which was cool. Jawfish, eels, barracuda, etc.
Friendly outfit with rental gear and a comfortable boat. Boat and tank fees are reasonable but gear rental is overpriced IMO. They didn't crowd the boat - 6 divers. There were some divers in our group that kept grabbing on coral, dragging their gauges and hoses, and generally being rude to both ocean life and fellow divers. I expect dive masters to say something to these types - they didn't. That was disappointing so they lose a star for that.
