The Scuba Club Inc

$ 200 for 2 people to do a one tank dive with rental gear. You have to haul, hookup, and clean everything yourself. The «safety briefing» is just that, brief.
I haven’t been diving in awhile so I definitely needed a little assistance, but with so many people on the boat (30 – 40) it was hard to get the attention of the staff and space was very tight.
When we did get ahold of the staff, Chip was very helpful and accommodating.
If you’re a regular and you have your own equipment and basically just need a boat to take you out, this is the place for you. If you want an experience I suggest go elsewhere.
It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t worth the cost.

Worst dive ever. If i could give them 0 stars i would. Horrible experience, they moved way to fast and safety was low. Do not go here.

I was certified here with these guys a few years back and absolutely loved the course. Wayne is awesome, super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. Whenever I am back home I will schedule a dive here and time after time it is enjoyable. These guys truly know the best spots around the area and will make sure you have a good time. I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking to get any certs or looking to do a dive.

I love this place. They are so professional. They have lots of local divers. They aren’t just doing cert dives and sales. I love the schedule too which lets me get up just a tiny bit later in the morning. and I can easily decide if I want to do an afternoon dive too.
I did do my Rescue course here and it was a great time. I was thoroughly exhausted at the end of each day but it was also great.

Few years ago I got my Open Water with Scuba Club and now I’m back for my Advanced class. They have great facility that include two pools, a store and class rooms. They also have a boat (so they don’t have to rent one) it’s there all the time. One very important thing for me was to learn to dive safely and they are great at that, always making sure that you are comfortable and having fun. Staff will always go an extra mile and show you some very cool things in the water. All Divemasters are very knowledgeable and very helpful. It is always fun to dive with them. Dive site are very nice with a lot of marine life. If you don’t have your own equipment you can rent one from them and it is top of the line and all like new. Also they don’t have hidden fees like a lot of other places in South Florida. The Scuba Club is a great place to learn how to dive or if you are a diver already, just to go out there and have fun diving with them. I recommended this place to a lot of my friends and everybody were very happy with them.

I’ve been diving for 20 years and this was the worst run dive boat I have ever been on. There was no safety talk about the boat. We asked several times before we paid where the boat was headed for the dive with an answer of «I don’t know yet»
We asked the dive master before the boat left the dock and we were told the afternoon dive goes to the reef. There were 9 new certified divers aboard that it was the 5, 6, or 7 dive since they were certified as an OW1 diver so we assumed the reef would be in the 60ft range. We were finally told we were diving an 80ft reef while we were half way out the inlet. There was not much more information given by the crew and then they all went up on the top deck which says «crew only»! There were more than 20 people diving and they dropped all of us at the same time. They dropped us on the south side of the inlet and we ended up on double ledges. They knew from the first dive that morning to double ledges that the current was flying and the visibility was no more than 20ft. Several people had to be dropped several times because you could not see the divers or the float. The new divers took their instruction from the Scuba Club so the crew and captain knew they were only certified for max depth of 60ft. We will never dive with them again and feel they were very unsafe to dive with as far as our one dive experience.

I booked a dive for myself, my husband and my friend with Scuba Club. This was my very first dive after being OW certified and despite the 30 ft visibility, it was an awesome experience from the moment we walked in the door and Sam assisted us with the necessary paperwork. She was friendly, joked around with us, and made us feel very welcome. The equipment we rented was all top of the line ScubaPro or Subgear, which is what I’d learned to dive with, so that put me at ease. I was very upfront with the crew and let them know that this was my first dive without my instructor and that I’d never gone off of a boat backwards from a platform was very nervous. They were very reassuring and so incredibly helpful! Before we got into the water, we were given a quick briefing on where we were going to be diving and informed that there were two guides… one that would surface when us regular air divers were ready and one who would stay longer with the Nitrox folks. Once in the water, one of the guides checked on me often to make sure I was doing okay and that my pressure was good. He had mentioned on the boat that he taught PADI courses so it almost felt like I was diving with my instructor (minus all the skills assessments!), I was blessed to have my hubby with me to share in my first «real» dive (one not part of my certification) but after diving with Scuba Club, I would feel comfortable being there without my hubby knowing I was in good hands.

I just dove with these guys for my 8^th dive, all previous 7 were done back in March. I couldn’t be more satisfied. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable, were extremely friendly and nice. Very experienced, knowledgable people. I’ll definitely be diving with them again next time I visit my parents in Palm Beach. Reasonably priced, too, for the area.

THE worst experience I’ve had in over 20+ years diving. As I get older, it’s getting harder for me to clear as I descend, so I always make a point of mentioning it to the divemaster. I did this time, and he said «no problem, I’ll make sure we don’t lose you.» Like it was some kinda joke. When the boat went out I’ve never seen fewer staff per diver for any other shop I’ve ever been with, anywhere in the world. So of course we submerge and everybody… including the divemaster and the assistant divemaster disappear… I keep descending… following bubbles… but at some point I lose even the bubbles. So I decide to come up. And guess what? When I surface, I find I’m not the only one! There are 2 other divers who were also lost by the shop! Now, yes, this is West Palm and there are tons of boats around so I’d say the chances of drifting off and dying are pretty small… at the same time this is completely unacceptable. When we finally found the boat and the divemaster came back up and I reminded him I told him it’d take me a while to clear down and he ignored it… he kinda laughed it off… I can’t believe people rate them this highly (in fact, I found them thru high ratings in dive magazines…) I found them completely understaffed and unprofessional. If I want to dive by myself, I will. If I go to a place I’ve never been before, and that has strong currents, I am willing to pay extra for some guidance at least the first couple of times. I don’t think it’s unfair to expect to hold them to the same standard of any other place that purports to be a professional dive shop. I cancelled my reservation for the following day; went elsewhere and had a great experience. I will never go near this place again!

From Chicago Here… Dove with t hem on a weekend trip to Palm Beach (Place that I have been Traveling for years!), got my NITROX cert. there & they were so nice to ship my books to me in Chicago so I could take the class when I got down there.
Customer service — A+
Diving Team — They are great about making adjustments for divers of all levels
BOAT TEAM — A+ great navigation and event would point out stuff on the surface once we got on the boat.
I can not wait to go back and dive with them next week!!!
Even their office staff is great

Wayne and the guys at The Scuba Club are great, very knowledgeable, and always willing to offer a helping hand.
I have not ever gone out on their dive boat, but can vouch for the facility, service center, and pricing on new/​used equipment.
I have and plan on making Scuba Club my home for my SCUBA needs.
The only problem that I have ever had with anything from these guys, is the fact that the the VIP stickers have a hard time staying on for an entire year.
