Absolutely amazing. As someone who feels a deep connection with the ocean, particularly it’s most amazing apex predator and a very important keystone species, this trip was everything I needed and more. Hannah was our shark diver and I was so happy that she sat with us to discuss the sharks we might see while also giving us pointers on how best to differentiate through definable characteristics. I felt prepped to go into the water before hand which was a big plus! Luis was the secret star of the show (minus the sharks of course!) When I got out of the boat and cried because I was so happy, he took the time to talk to me about the importance of sharks and how amazing it is to be passionate about them. As someone deeply rooted in sustainability and ecosystem science, I appreciated both Hannah and Luis keeping the trip fun, safe, and exciting, while also allowing space for education conversation. I also appreciated both of their willingness to sit after we had docked and talk with me about conservation and ways to get more involved. This trip has something for everyone at every age. For the adventure seeker, the conservationist, and the person who isn’t too sure about sharks yet this is the place to go. I will be going back with calypso time and time again! Love them! This was an amazing experience. Oh, and did I mention we saw a Great Hammerhead!? Still over the moon about seeing her! Once in a lifetime experience that doesn’t have to be just once in a lifetime! It’s achievable if you just book...
Read moreGreat crew. Only six divers. Really enjoyed this experience and would absolutely rebook here.
I’ve been to Jupiter for diving once before but two people recommended this dive company and so when my friends came down from Philly we booked two trips with them. Hats off to the crew for really giving so serious thought to what would be the best dive for the conditions. We managed to do both a drift reef dive and a shark dive. We had one captain and two people in the water with us. I thought they did an excellent job explaining everything and overall everything went extremely smoothly even with a mix of experienced divers in the water.
They dock at a big marina with plenty of parking. It was super easy to unload all the gear and then park the car. It’s a safe and well traveled place. There are also plenty of places to eat or grab a drink afterwards. This is a big change from some other places so worth mentioning as you don’t have to go super early and search for parking.
We used to dive the keys a lot and with the hotel prices sky rocketing it’s great to find a new place with excellent diving and a good crew. Unfortunately I forgot the names of everyone on our boat to give them a shoutout but really had a great trip with them....
Read moreThese folks are amazing to work with. We'll definitely be snorkeling with them next time we're in the area. While planning a trip to Florida, my wife and I got the clever idea to swim with sharks or maybe go SCUBA diving--but had no idea how any of that worked. I spent probably fifteen/twenty minutes talking with them, just having them explain how SCUBA training works, what different shark-snorkeling or shark-cage services have to offer, what service would be the best for our interests, what all we should plan to be able to do during out short trip etc.
And then, when our flight to Florida got cancelled the day we were supposed to leave, they were happy to give us either a future credit or a full refund (minus a small fee). I didn't expect to get a full refund, especially for a pricey service like shark snorkeling, so that was a really pleasant surprise on the day that our trip got ruined.
Very disappointed we never actually got to go shark snorkeling due to the trip cancellation, but we'll...
