Jupiter Dive Center

Lisa at Jupiter Dive Center is rude and a miserable, horrible person. I would give this company negative stars if it offered the option. Do not use this company, they are rude and disrespectful to their customers and only care about your money. I’m an avid diver and former Coast Guard member, I found their operations to be sketchy and in my opinion unsafe.

I felt as though the boat was overcrowded. There wasn’t enough room for everyone to get their gear on at once. So some divers had to be dropped later. This may have been because one of their boats was broken and dives later in the day were cancelled due to severe conditions. Still it felt a little unsafe as people fell getting ready because of the crowding.
Then on the surface interval I had difficulty getting my gear switched because I couldn’t get the tank closed. I asked for assistance and was told I would be helped. But that never happened. So by time we get to the dive site I’m not prepared to go. So I opted to stay aboard with my dive partner who was battling sea sickness.
I wouldn’t recommend diving with this shop if you’re new to diving. Because the support seemed so minimal. If I hadn’t struggled with some sea sickness and a finnicky tank I would have been ok.
I imagine things may be better on less crowded dives. But I was disappointed.

Great dive company, location of dive boat and shop is a plus too. Did a 2 tank dive with them this morning and it was perfect. We saw Goliath groupers, sharks, turtles and a Moray eel. Lots of colorful fish and coral. Boat and crew were attentive and helpful. My second dive with them and we will certainly use them again.

Read the reviews and this seemed like a great dive shop. For my wife and I, our experience was everything diving should not be. 24 divers on one boat. It was a big boat, but everyone was bumping into each other trying to set up the gear. One dive guide for everyone and when we reached our dive site, it was rushed. I felt like I was in basic training or something. I did not feel any attention of personal service. Diving is about relaxing and being at peace. There was not one thing peaceful about using this shop.

My boyfriend and I took a trip to Florida in July to visit my parents and they booked 2 days of boat diving for us. First day we dove with this center. There dive boat was very nice, it wasn’t over crowed and the crew was friendly. Although the deck hand had no idea what size my tank was and kept insisting it wasn’t an HP80. I own one back at home and my boyfriend worked for a scuba place. So that was a little disconcerting. But the Dive Master and captain were amazing. I’ve never been to Florida so I got to see so much. Drift diving was new for us but they made us feel safe. I will be returning for another trip when I visit next. Thank you!

I returned to Jupiter, FL in August for a long weekend so I could go diving for the first time in two years (unless diving in an aquarium counts). I was so stoked and Jupiter Dive Center did not disappoint. Captain Mike, DM Dave Anderson, and the rest of the staff are great. I had an issue with my computer not working because of the battery and they allowed me to use a PSI gauge on short notice before the boat was about to leave. They also replaced the battery in my husband’s computer quickly. Note to self — start carrying batteries around (rookie mistake).
We were rewarded with one of my best dives ever at Deep Ledge. The current was swift but we were lucky and saw our first shark on the dive just as we got down to depth (reef shark). Later in the dive we saw our first hammerhead shark ever and it was an amazing experience. We also saw two sailfish (never expected that) and some sandbar sharks. The other dives we saw huge loggerhead turtles everywhere and goliath groupers. We also dove Tunnels again and made it to the doughnut hole where the reef sharks hangout. It’s definitely a must to be nitrox certified to dive in Jupiter due to the depth. We learned the second time around!
I love this place.

Great place to dive in Florida if you want a little variety. Very cool drift dive. I have heard it is great to go during the lemon shark migration. I reckon if you go any other time odds are you will see turtlers and sharks. I did on both of my trips. Don’t be fooled by the $ 65 for two tanks. It ends up being $ 91.00, unless you bring your own tanks and air. Water and current can be a little rough up there. If you can hang loose well worth it, man.

Top notch dive operations, with ample staff, greatCaptain, Divemasters and Guide, and everyone is knowledgable and helpful. A great day of diving does not happen by accident, and these guys carefully plan and make sure everyone has a great experience. Well done!

I almost never review anything on Unilocal other than restaurants, but I had to give a shout out to these guys. Had a great experience diving with them (following a horrific day out with a shop in West Palm.) Saw more sharks than I’ve ever seen anyplace but Palau… it was awesome. There was a good ratio of divemasters to divers… they did ‘upsell’ me on a Nitrox course, but as I’m getting a little older was thinking about doing it anyway… just kinda made the decision for me.

Don’t use these guys. I’m a local and went with them 4 times and they were all about their profit and not the customer. They are one of the only operators in Jupiter so the divers there have gotten used to their bad behavior. They bought a shop in Pompano and had to sell it because the locals, who have more choice, wouldn’t put up with their bad service.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed an awesome dive charter with jdc in February. It was his first real open water dive after certification and I hadn’t touched a wet suit in about 5 years, so we were both nervous. The divemaster kept near by us and pointed out some stuff I wouldn’t have noticed. We saw big morays, turtles, reef sharks, rays and tons of fish.
Even after telling them that we were a little nervous, the staff was pretty hands off, but ultimately it just reassured us of our competence.
A little pricey at $ 110 per person, but that’s fully kitted out for a two-​tank dive.
