Felipe again was a caring and seasoned guide who takes amazing videos and knows how to explore the reefs!! Last time was snorkeling with the jet-packs and this time was scuba diving! Such an incredible experience that we're booked again for August 2nd. I'm seriously telling all my friends and family and planning multiple trips to do this again and again, year after year!

This was super easy. Working with Philipe it was a perfect day. Called to check on us, met us under the bridge, easy to find the black box, great instruction, very clear, and then an absolute excellent dive. We saw turtles, fish, seahorse and starfish and water artifacts here to the moon. It was special.

    Perfect for someone with little or no experience. Felipe was a very patient instructor and he made sure we were comfortable the whole time. I had such a great experience the first time, I decided to do it again! I highly recommend this!

    Try it out

    Beginning Scuba Diving experience in West Palm Beach was exciting. Unfortunately, this 90 minute trip only allowed about 20-25 minutes of actual diving. Instructor Tabitha was fantastic.

    A great intro to scuba diving

    Gregory_T, Dec 2025
    A great activity while we visited Pompano Beach. Tabitha was thorough with instructions, guided us the whole time under water. She also took video of the whole dive! My son and I enjoyed this very much.

    Felipe did it again!...

    Minda_S, Aug 2025
    Filipe did it again! Another fantastic scuba diving experience with our friends this time! We saw a huge puffer fish and giant orange starfish! This is our second time with Filipe in the last two months. We have decided to make this an annual event for us. We live in Atlantic Beach, FL and gladly will drive the four hours to paradise. Scuba diving in Phil Foster Park and snorkeling in the ocean. Warmest thanks for the awesome videos of our amazing time in the water! #teamFilipe

    We had a great time. Felipe gave us easily understandable and good instructions. We saw lots of beautiful fish and they even took some videos and pictures for us. Can't imagine a better place to try scuba diving.

    Perfect for beginners

    Experience the underwater!

    Being under the water and seeing what's under! The ocean life is a great mystery to see but look out for the sharks!

    Awesome and funtastic

    My experience in scuba with Ryan is nothing short of amazing. He was professional and friendly. Tons of excited moments and he captured all..came back with super cool memories

    Felipe! are you part merman?!

    Felicita_F, Jul 2024
    My sister, cousin, and I took the plunge—literally—and signed up for the scuba intro class. Our instructor, Felipe, was a legend. Patient, thorough, and possibly part-mermaid. We saw fish, coral, and possibly the lost city of Atlantis 😂. We’ll definitely do it again, but next time we might even get certified...or start a fish whispering business!

    Amazing dive

    Ashley_B, Jul 2024
    Even though this was a beginning course and we are certified, it was great to have our guide with us for our first salt water dive. Ryan was amazing and showed us so many things. Definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to try scuba diving. I PROMISE, you wont regret it.

    Felipe was an awesome guide. Pointed out everything to look at and was a great teacher. The dive was incredible and a perfect experience

    Worth it!

    melissa_b, May 2024
    Really was a once in a lifetime app it’s gonna be too scuba without having to the Certified, even though the activity was not the easiest for me, Ryan the instructor was very informative, patient and accommodating, I’ll definitely give it another try.

    Like a dream

    Joanne_Y, May 2024
    Best first scuba diving experience! The Instructor, Felipe, was chill and knowledgeable. With him, the dive felt very safe and peaceful. He also had a keen eye of looking out for interesting marine life! Thank you for this magical experience 🤙🏻

    Hanging out with the Marine life

    Felipe was absolutely amazing his briefing of how to communicate was excellent and his instructions on the use of equipment was also great... the dive was awesome and Felipe took some great videos...thx again Felipe for an awesome experience

    Great beginner experience

    Laura_C, Mar 2024
    Phillipe was great at taking time explaining everything. Great experience. I'd highly recommend and would go again

    Thoroughly enjoyable

    Eugene_O, Mar 2024
    Philippe was exceptional! He was a superb communicator and instilled confidence. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done, and then led a fantastic journey. Thanks very much.

    Worst Instructor Philipe almost ruined my experience

    Sahana_B, Jan 2024
    This experience shouldn’t be named as "Beginner's", or, shouldn't mention "no experience needed". I felt cornered by the instructor Philipe. He was rude if I asked any question to understand the techniques to survive 25 ft under the ocean. If he expects everyone to understand all the instructions instantly, he should deal with experts only. On the first chance he took off my fins & blocked me to even try diving deeper. Finally I paid the full price! I am at least entitled to get some good videos or photos of the ocean floating under water. He NEVER shared anything with me. I hated the experience. I surely will take scubadiving tour elsewhere again, as I loved the feeling of diving, but not with this instructor. He should work on his attitude.

    Amazing Advebture

    Melissa_U, Dec 2023
    Felipe was terrific from the first moment our group met him. He carefully explained everything we needed to know, patiently helped us and our teens get ready and let us through an exciting adventure underwater. We would 100% recommend this trip with Felipe to everyone!!!

    Best time
