Fantasea Diving & Watersports — Local services in Ireland Island North

I had the best time with Fantasea diving AND whale watching tour!! I went whale watching Sunday and did a beach dive Monday, it was beautiful! The crew, Capt Carl, Awesome Lawson and Michelle, were the best and very knowledgeable! They knew exactly where to find the whales and boy did we find whales! Not only did we see pods of whales including a calf, we also spotted a pod of dolphins, which, together, is a RARE SIGHTING in Bermuda! We were out all day on the water so bring sunscreen and some lunch. They had music playing on the boat too, which was a plus! They do sell drinks i.e. water and the famous Rum Swizzle! On the way back Awesome Lawson handed out bread to everyone to feed the fish near a shipwreck. Such a rad experience seeing the fish go crazy for the bread! The 2017 America's Cup is going on at the moment and we were able to be right up and close on the water watching these athletes practice racing. Now where can you spot whales, dolphins, tons of fish, the America's Cup teams practicing AND have a Swizzel in your hand? Can't recommend this company enough. If you're looking for a whale watching tour, go no further than Fantasea Diving and...

FIND A DIFFERENT SCUBA SCHOOL! The initial instruction was great (I think his name was David). Unfortunately, one of the ladies in our group couldn't pass the initial skills test required before going out. Instead of not allowing her to go, the whole group was penalized with a 10 minute dive where we didn't leave the shore line and ended up scuba diving with all the people snorkeling! My husband's equipment that the "professionals" put on him fell off during the dive which the instructors also blame for the short dive. We started with 3000 pounds of air, I used 500 during the testing and walked out of the water AFTER our dive with 2000 pounds of air! We stayed in 6-10 feet of water the entire dive so we were constantly bumping into each other and bouncing between hitting the floor and popping up to the surface. The female instructor was having a bad day and we paid the price. Complete waste of...

Did a two-tank dive with these folks on August 2nd. Could not be more pleased with their professionalism and the facility. The two divemasters (sorry, I forgot their names) were well versed in what we'd be doing and where. Our first dive was a sunken ferry boat which still needed time to mature as a reef. But it was interesting to swim through it and see how well preserved it still is. Our second dive was just a few hundred yards out and a huge reef complex. Unfortunately, there was little marine life (fish, turtles, crustaceans) but a huge amount of various forms of coral, which were well explained both pre and post dive. I will certainly dive with them again on my next trip to Bermuda and highly recommend them to anyone...
