Bay Breeze Aquatics & Dive Center

Had a great experience here. Managed to book a spot on a dive charter and rent a full compliment of gear for under $ 200. Very courteous service from everyone here and wanted to make sure the gear I rented would work for me. Next time I’m in Pcola I’ll definitely stop by.

The best part of this shop is the location. The staff is friendly but I went in to buy a cheap replacement snorkel and had to politely listen while I was told why I should get a 50.00 snorkel. They are persistent with the sales even when you say no. They have two new staff members that seem eager to learn but Bob was stressed out and not speaking kindly to either of them. It was awkward to stand there and watch. They provided lots of good advice about the area including food to eat and helped prioritize dive sites but I’m going to MBT or the dive shop on palafox from here on out.
I also overheard that if you get dive certified there you must buy your gear from them (mask fins snorkel, etc). If you already have that gear you MUST purchase at least 200.00 of gear from them in addition to your instruction. I don’t know any other shops that do this and I think it’s a rip off. Just go to MBT.

Bob is the BEST! My best friend dropped her engagement ring in the gulf and with just one phone call bob rushed out with his metal detector and found it! Incredible!!! We can’t thank you enough for saving the day! To respond so sweetly and promptly to total strangers, just amazing:) THANK YOU!!!

I dove with them in July. The dive location was a fairly uninteresting rusted hull of a ship. All I saw were schools of bait fish and a rusty hull. With 50+ dive sites to choose from, one wonders why they couldn’t find something more interesting. On top of that, I ordered and paid for a t-​shirt from their dive shop and after multiple calls and emails, they have refused to even respond. I guess that s a good thing — why would I want to promote a shop that doesn’t take care of its customers?

Great place! staff is very helpful and knowlegable. I was dive certified here by kevin Brewer, he is awesome, full of energy, funny, just a great guy all around. if yoo want to get certified i would definatley hire him!
