We are heading down to Boynton Beach/Delray Beach area for 3 nights (Fri-Mon) in early/mid June, and have two days (Sat and Sun) carved out for diving. I am 55 yo, my 18 yo daughter and I are SSI certified (I am also NAUI Nitrox certified), we both have 18 dives, in Turks and Caicos, Costa Brava (L'Estartit) Spain, USVI and just last week in Grand Cayman (awesome!). My older 22 yo daughter is getting her SSI certification right now during senior year of college, she will be doing her checkout dives in a couple weeks in a dry suit on Cape Cod (sounds chilly to me!). So this Florida trip will be my older daughters first dives as a certified OW diver, while my younger daughter and I are totally fanatical about it! I am looking for a dive op in the Delray/Boynton area, I understand Boynton is the spot to go, we will have our own car, looking for a dive op that can show us a couple of nice two tank day dives and still provide some confidence and TLC to my older daughter, who will be doing her first real dives. Am mainly looking for a small, hands on op, don't want to be part of a large herd especially with it being her first dives, am actually considering chartering for the 3 of us if necessary but would rather find a boat that only takes 6 or less. The only ops I see popping up when I look is Starfish Scuba (seem to have good recommendations but looks like a really big boat/group), Underwater Explorers (like the look of them, smaller boat and good recommendations but nothing posted in about a year that I could find?), Boynton Beach Dive Center (again not many recent reviews), Loggerhead Dive Charters (also nothing recent) and Splashdown Divers (good recent reviews but some spotty ones from a year or so ago, also seem to be a bigger outfit). Can anyone recommend either a smaller op that would meet our needs or a charter option if nothing else? Thanks in advance for help/opinions!
