Deep Blue Divers Inc. — Local services in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

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...

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...

Rented 2 tanks. Took them out at the pier. Descended to 15ft and right away noticed a funny taste with the air. Tasted like Burnt Motor Oil.

Well, contrary to safety, me and my wife continued the dive for another 15 mins before we both were hand signaling underwater that something was wrong. We had to bail on the dive. Felt like our lungs were coated in oil. We should have scrubbed the dive sooner.

We took the mostly full tanks back to his shop only to see his phone ringing off the hook with other divers complaining about their tanks/air.

We tried to tell him that there was something wrong with the the air in the tanks but he was frantically running around with his phone telling others that there was nothing wrong with his equipment. We just dropped the tanks off and left...

BEWARE! If we were doing a deep dive this could have ended very badly.

NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN!

His equipment is like from the 70's and not properly serviced, just look inside and you'll agree. That shop is an accident waiting to happen!

We got pneumonia soon afterwards and couldn't dive for months! It took weeks to get that smell and taste out...
