----- ----- Dive Operations ----- -----

Dive Jupiter - Juno Ledges, Adventure Scuba -
Dive Juno Ledges! Greatest Dive in Florida!

I've stopped using Adventure Scuba due to the Capt's 10 year old sun being a real PITA!! . There are several dive operations in this area - Post Hurricane!

West Palm Beach - Dive the RAMPAGE .

the Greatest Dive Boat Operation in Florida fell Victim to the Hurricane and is no longer in operation.

Narcosis is the ONLY Dive Operation in the West Palm area that we can recommend!

West Palm Beach, http://kollersreef.com/

Kollers Reef is out of business and the boat is sold!

Dearfield Beach On Lady-Go-Diver

Lady-Go is a nice large boat and recommended for this area.

Pompano, Cold Coast Charter Services, UNDER PRESSURE

31' Custom Dive Boat, 6 Pak, Capt Randy - He's Great! (954)-943-2628. Get 6 people, you go where you want and you do what you want! No Nazi Captains (Like in WPB). I highly recommend this dive boat, capt and dives!!!

Conch Republic , Tavanier the Keys:

I’ve dove with Conch Republic for many years. There great dive locations include the Duane, Bib (Special arrangements) and the Eagle! Well, there offering a real great special – Ask about their dive trip (includes 2 dives, tanks and weights), and overnight at the Island Bay Resort just north of Tavanier, the Keys So, dive with Conch Republic – there a great dive shop. Their in Tavanier, just south of Key Largo –n the Florida Keys! Conch dives the same locations as the dive boats in Key Largo without the “SnowBird Prices”! Highly Recommended by the Irishman (That’s a hard recommendation to get – I don’t get any discount for saying it either)!!

HATT's DIVE SHOP in Melbourne

I Highly Recommend HATT's DIVE SHOP in Melbourne, Florida
Hatts seems to give the best prices, the best service and the best products.

West Palm Beach I-95 Divers Direct

Lot's of Diver's Toys, Just off of I-95 at NorthLake. But they don't have Divers Hours, they open at 10:00 am! But they DO HAVE the largest selection of Divers' Toys available!
