Very disappointed with our experience here. So many things wrong it's hard to know where to begin. Prices not in writing so you get the impression they make rates up as they go along. My wife got sick and we had to cancel a couple of boat dives. The boat owner told me he did not charge American Dive for the cancellations, but American Dive refused to refund our money for either the boat dives or the equipment we didn't rent. They weren't out a dime and instead of a refund they offered us a store credit to try to induce us to buy more stuff. My favorite story is where the owner of the store outright lied to me. He told me we had to rent the tanks from him because "boats don't have tanks anymore since everyone brings their own." So, I'm hauling tanks like a fool and when I get to the boat they have plenty of tanks at the ready. The owner obviously didn't care about me as a customer, he just wanted to fleece me for as much as he could get. Very shady operation. There's more to the story, and I sent complaints to the BBB of South Florida and the Caribbean as well as PADI, so if you want the full story, contact the BBB. The only shining light was the dive instructor, Rob, who was excellent and trained our daughter expertly for her open water certification. That being said, there are a hundred dive shops in South Florida and my advice is to stay far away from this one.
