Wow!!!! Best dive shop ever! Really enjoy talking to the guy who owns it. I think his name is Dave.

Him and his wife are from California, they’ve been here for quite some time. He’s very knowledgeable about the area, and has really nice here for rental. I actually did my first sure dad and first solo dive through his shop. Can you help me set up the year, and sent me on my way he gave me a brief tutorial on how to get into the water, which I really appreciate because I’d never done a solo dive or shore dive before.

He explained the schematic to me of the Reese, and explained logistically where I should go. Apparently, there’s three levels of reef at the shore dive. The further out you go, obviously the deeper the water gets, and obviously the bigger the fish will get. It was a really nice dive, and I was so appreciative to have him help me get into my gear. I would not have been able to do it if he had not helped me. He even took my picture after I got everything set up, which was really really nice.

Saw some really amazing fish. Actually, that shore dive was probably best one that I did in Fort Lauderdale /Miami to date. Got to see some spotted Ray, some nurse sharks, a bunch of fish in schools, some angelfish, bunch of see urchins, I am very beautiful Coral.

When I finish the first dive I came back, took everything off, and he helped me walk into my gear again for my second dive. Take some pictures while I was getting in the water from his beach cam. Really nice, because I went by myself.

Used to be a good dive shop close to Anglin Pier.

The clerk that worked there Dave was a nice guy and a wealth of info.

As of 9 / 2022 the retail location is closed. I called and talked to the owner who seems to still offer cert. Classes and limited dive bookings.

Sadly missed. fair fills, somewhat reasonable prices.

My number one so for all diving related items. The staff is super friendly and Andres did my certification in 3 days! Pick up your rentals and walk to the beach. A short swim away and you will be diving in one of Florida's top reefs.

Just completed the open water certification with Andres. The entire experience was outstanding. Although scuba is supposed to be fun, it is also very serious business and Andres was very thorough with all of the techniques and safety considerations that are a must, and made certain that we knew, understood and could adequately perform everything before progressing to the next step. Best of all is that when it comes to the open water portion of the training it takes place at an easily accessible and beautiful reef, so that although training, you still get the full experience of diving. As for the shop, I can't compare to others since I have never shopped elsewhere, but the equipment was top notch and we were fully fitted and outfitted with just what we needed, and the whole staff was very friendly and helpful. So the bottom line is I would highly recommend Deep Blue Divers and Andres in particular if you are interested in learning to dive and get certified. Just keep in mind that it is a three (3) day course and that really means three days (not including your own book study time). Thanks Andres and all of your staff for a wonderful experience.

Literally one block away from the best shore diving in the Continental US! The shop is small, but the service and overall experience is top notch. I have a family of three certified divers and two Junior Open Water divers who were out for their very first recreational dive, and this was the first shore dive for all five of us. Dave and Andres were extremely attentive, took the time to understand my family’s experience and interests, and went above and beyond to plan a dive that delivered on all fronts. Andres was our Dive Master and he ensured our dive was extremely safe and fun. They made us feel like family!

The reefs off Anglin’s Pier don’t disappoint. Besides the usual reef fish, we saw a good-sized nurse shark and a loggerhead turtle - the highlight of the trip for my boys. Parking in the area is a bit tight, but we managed without any issues.

Highly recommend this as a dive spot and Deep Blue Divers as your dive shop!

Rented snorkel gear for my family. Chose Deep Blue after reviewing prices on their website online, showing $15 to rent snorkel gear. When we arrived, we were told that it would be $25. I showed David the pricing displayed on their site and asked if they would honor that, or at least meet us in the middle, so he called the owner who promptly denied any concessions for their misrepresentation. We were in a bind with plans so we reluctantly rented anyway. One of our snorkel sets was junk; cheap and worn. My wife had to tie the strap because it kept slipping. I showed this to them when returning the equipment. Again, no offers to make it right. Then, while sitting in my car punching an address, I see that same junk snorkel set being sanitized for the next victim outside. I can overlook a lot of this if we had not started off on the wrong foot, but I am not impressed with the integrity of this operation. We would have been better off just buying some cheap snorkel sets somewhere else.

Excellent dive shop with all the essentials. The location can't be matched: just a short walk to the beach, and great reefs a shirt distance offshore. This area is perfect for local diving. The staff are very knowledgeable and make the shop feel like your new dive home. Definitely recommend for getting your diver's certifications or any other diving trips you wish to venture on!

Had an amazing experience diving with Andres. Brought the whole family down including 2 brand new divers for the discover scuba package. Andres was a great teacher and made everyone feel safe and well cared for. The shore dive was great we saw stingrays, lobster, star fish, and more. Gear was great and they were extremely accommodating. Would definitely recommend. I will be back. Thanks Andres
