I have been diving with South Beach Divers many times. Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable. They are also a VERY SAFE shop to dive with. I have a great deal of respect for how they plan dives and diving conditions. My dive with them this weekend was cancelled because of 4-6 foot seas. They cancelled the trip for the safety... More

I planned on going snorkeling with my friends because it was our first time to Miami. I called for extra information and the person on the phone was extremely useless and rude. He reiterated everything on the website. I'm obviously calling for in depth information so repeating info from the site was the least helpful thing. I actually went to... More

Our hotel recommended South Beach Divers for our snorkel trip, but the experience is really for divers. There were about 16 divers and 4 snorkelers on the boat. The snorkelers saw ZERO fish, unless you include jelly fish... stinging jelly fish. I have snorkeled quite a bit and have never left without seeing something! The divers all seemed to have... More

we went a short notice withut any equipment or proof of certification. The staff were more than happy to sort this out for the 3 of us and we were of on the boat within the hour! We did 2 dives just of the coast. The first was forgettable - hence I can;t remember a thing about it. The second... More

I called a few days before booking to ask about the jellyfish situation in Key Largo cause I knew they'd been bad in SoBe and the guy on the phone said... More

We are truly sorry that your day with us was not as expected. In the 15 years that we have been in business we have never had a jellyfish invasion like that. We too were caught off guard and it seems that every employee had there own solution to keep you protected. In light of this we are all in... More

it was a not so good dive. first of all, there were too many people on thé boat. thé tank was lekking and they did'nt say anything about thé current and the current was very strong. also thé said on thé internet emerald en neptune reef but we did'nt go to neptune which is very dissapointing.

Currents are a part of mother nature and we do our best to avoid them. In some cases we have to choose an alternate location than what... More
