Dive ops in WPB, Boyton, Delray, Ft.Laud. etc.?

kjunheart,

I'm doing the Pura Vida 3 dives with lunch on Friday, and on Sunday I doing the Narcosis for 4 tanks. They're doing 80' to 90' stuff in the morning, then two wrecks in the afternoon. The two wrecks will be the Princess Anne, a 355' ship, then the corridor which includes 4 or 5 wrecks starting with the Mizpah. I'm still looking at Saturday and am considering the Starfish Enterprise and Parrot Island Scuba Adventures. That Diversity sounds good too. I guess on Saturday I'd like to go a bit south of the Friday and Sunday Riviera Beach area dives. So, I guess I'm still looking for suggestions.

I don't know where Riviera Beach is, but I've used Coral Island Charters in WPB a number of times. Class operation, and great people to deal with.

Here's their site: www.coralislandcharters.com

Lynley runs the shop and she's the one to ask any questions.

The Narcosis is perhaps one of the best organizations here in Palm Beach. Capt. Ray is very knowlegable and a mighty nice guy. His boat is beautiful and well equipt. I dive with him a frequently as possible. Enjoy your day with him.

I'm in Palm Beach now, off of a plane from North Carolina yesterday. Today I dove with Pura Vida. They run an excellent operation. As others have told me, I also highly recomend them, very highly. I was going to go with Splashdown in Boyton Beach tomorrow, but they charge $10.00 to rent a tank filled with air for each dive. Pura Vida charges $4.00 for the tank rental AND full of air.. That's a heck of a savings when you multiply it by a bunch of dives. I'm going with Starfish tomorrow in Lantana instead, as was suggested by two of the posts on this thread. Finally, I'm doing 4 tanks on the Narcosis Sunday based on everybody's suggestions here. Thank you all, so far you were dead on with Pura Vida. Those guys were great. They even took me out by myself on the 3rd dive, after we had lunch.

Try Parrot Island Scuba Adventures if you're in the WPB area. They have good boats and great personable and smart crew. I dove with them in the spring and intend to go with them this November.

In that area I've also doved Diversity and Splashdown Divers. They were solid. I enjoyed the crew, professionalism, and boats better on with Parrot Island though.
