Recreational Avelo Diver (RAD) Specialty Course

“Darrin at Sea Experience was the ultimate trustworthy and chill instructor for PADI open water! The course is very reasonably priced and you get so much good diving in, in very welcoming conditions that were perfect for the PADI open water certification. Darrin has a ton of experience at the sites. We got to see barracudas and a gigantic grouper living in a wreck, and swim with a chonk of a turtle 😎 Darrin & Sea Experience were also great resources for diving tips and recommendations for dives worldwide. They were super responsive in answering all the questions I had by email/phone/text. They have a great boat and staff who are extremely knowledgeable and fun to hang with for a day in the water. Thank you for getting me hooked on diving guys! 🤿🫧”

“This was such a fun trip! Unfortunately, I mixed up the address/location, so we showed up only 15 minutes before the boat was supposed to depart. 😬 The ladies at the shop were absolutely wonderful when I called and helped us get everything figured out. Suggestion...read the email and boat location. Otherwise your GPS will bring you to the store.🤦🏼‍♀️ Captain Josh was great! He had an awesome sense of humor and wasn’t bad for his first day… hehe. 😂 Overall, if you’re looking for an affordable boat trip that gives you a great experience, fun captains with a great sense of humor, snorkeling, sunshine, and tons of cool fish to see underwater, this is definitely the trip! And if you can’t handle laughter, sunshine, snorkeling, and a few overly friendly fish… well, this probably isn’t the trip for you. 😎🌊🤿🐠 We had a blast and would absolutely do it again!”

“Thank you to Joanna and Alex for the wonderful snorkeling trip yesterday! It was our children's first time. They loved it! We were thrilled to see lots of colorful fish! Joanna and Alex were great to talk to and they were really kind to our children (ages 9 and 11). The current was a bit choppy, but that is out of the crew's control of course. Bring supplies for sea sickness (just in case). Bring snacks, they have an igloo of cold water to drink. We felt safe with the crew and they provided great education and support. You can either jump into the ocean from the back ledge of the boat or you can sit and sort of hop in. There is decent ladder to climb back into the boat. They provide life vests and pool noodles if you need help floating. The directions to get there on their website may not be accurate. And the website states a tour near mansions and yachts, but they no longer do that. The website mentions getting there 40 min early, we suggest maybe 20 min early as we ended up sitting and waiting for a while at the dock. There is a port-a-potty in the parking lot for the dock. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would use this snorkeling experience again in the future. Thank you Joanna and Alex!”
