Excellent customer service.
When the item I wasn’t in stock, they worked closely with me to get a similar product and kept in touch with me the whole time.
Thank you Myriam for all your help. – via

Both times that I went there no one was there. Note on the door said be back later. Wasted time wasted. Gas driving back and forth. I’ll never go back. The bathroom was locked and the guy working didn’t even know how to open the lock. I wouldn’t want him working on my gear. – via

Probably the best dive shop around this area.
Many of the people there were very helpful, and my path to certification with Jorge as my instructor was amazing. Jorge was very comprehensive during the course and introduced me to many great dive sites while teaching me a lot.
The shop itself has a wide selection of items too, and being a student, I get a permanent 10% discount on all equipment. Also, as a gratuity measure, they offer $50 off the next certification class.
My dad and I never had a good experience with a dive shop until we went to Lauderdale Diver. – via

My husband and I had an outstanding experience getting our open water diving certification with Lauderdale Diver and Instructor Jorge! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Booking the course was a breeze, and the team was incredibly helpful and accommodating.
Jorge, our instructor, was an absolute gem. Not only was he a highly skilled and knowledgeable diver, but he was also an excellent communicator. He made the learning process enjoyable, engaging, and easy to grasp. He took the time to answer all our questions and ensured we felt confident before heading into the water.
The dive experience itself surpassed all my expectations. The locations were breathtaking, and Jorge’s guidance during the dives was impeccable. He prioritized safety while ensuring we had an unforgettable time exploring the underwater world.
I can’t thank Lauderdale Diver and Jorge enough for this fantastic certification journey. – via

Awesome place for divers and purchasing new equipment. Also maintain your current equipment. Beautiful store inside with all the freshest, state of the art gear. Roman is very helpful and he handles things like an experienced diver with plenty of knowledge. I simply went in for an air tank fill up, however this place can provide so much more. It is well worth it if you’re a diving enthusiast – via

Happy to work with Lauderdale Diver to help me get a specific mask. They were communicative and provided great service. They went out of their way to contact the vendor to get a backordered item shipped as soon as possible. I will certainly be back. – via

I recently purchased a mask and snorkel from Lauderdale Divers through their website. They have fantastic customer service and really went above and beyond my expectations. They contacted the manufacturer to make sure I would receive the correct equipment, and also helped navigate back-order issues. I ended up receiving the order well before the expected delivery date. I’m very happy to support a store like Lauderdale Divers. Buy with confidence! – via

Great experience. I was in a pinch to get my certificate to ensure I could dive on an upcoming vacation, through weather and hurricane obstacles we got the required 4 dives in and dive instructor, Maya, was excellent. They opened up a whole new world of the ocean for me! – via

I took my children and their cousins snorkeling. The instructions at the store was entertaining and informative. The owner was easy-going and friendly. He answered all the kids hundreds of questions. At the beach site he was very clear on instructions and gave the kids a blast of a time.
Highly recommend if you have never snorkel before – via

My experience with Lauderdale Diver was fantastic. Coming from out of town, they ended up facilitating everything dive related I wanted to do on my trip. From organizing dive charters, offering great advice on gear upgrades, and providing tips and insight about local diving conditions, Miryam, Romain, and Jorge were simply great to work with. My prior experiences had not prepared me for the level of customer service provided by the Lauderdale Diver team, and I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for a true one-stop dive shop. Definitely looking forward to diving with them again soon. – via

(Translated by Google) Very ordinary snorkeling trip. The equipment provided is minimalist (mask and snorkel).
A better quality mask, non-return snorkel and fins greatly enhanced the experience.
Nice boat trip but the narration leaves something to be desired. The tape is inaudible.
(Original)
Sortie de plongée en apnée bien ordinaire. L’équipement fourni est minimaliste (masque et tuba).
Un masque de meilleure qualité, un tuba anti-retour d’eau et des palmes amélioraient grandement l’expérience.
Beau tour de bateau mais la naration laisse à désirer. La cassette est inaudible. – via

Best scuba shop in the area. Even the people from the Below Deck show come here and so do their customers – via

Update: I was told this review was removed because it was too good. Since that’s discrimination, I’m reposting it! This was 5 years ago, bear in mind, but I still dive with LD (I mean as soon as Covid is over) so it’s still what I think. I ended up getting 4 certs with the Davis instructors, and have done about 35 dives now, most of them with LD & nearby boats.

Original review:
I found and chose Lauderdale Diver based on google reviews – so I’m happy to say: it was a great decision. I have nothing but awesome reviews for my experience with Lauderdale Diver, based on my personalized classes and dives with Rob and Sylvia Davis.
What happened is that I signed up for the PADI Open Water certification first, and then enjoyed it so much, I decided to take the Advanced Open Water cert as well.
Here’s a general idea of how things went:
I tend to be a very on-time person, so I was really pleased that everything happened as scheduled. This is really important if you are waking up to be at the shop at 7:30 a.m. on vacation!
It was also great to see that my instructors followed the PADI requirements to a T. Even though they made sure we had lots of fun, everything was taken very seriously in terms of the learning. I like to learn things right from the get-go, and my instructors really helped me do that.
In regard to how things worked, I didn’t have any complaints about the operations at all. The facility for the classroom instruction was clean and comfortable, with working technology. The pool dive was conducted at a nearby facility that was convenient. And the boat dives used operators that used the highest safety standards (role calls, etc.), and we went to both wrecks and reefs for our dives. The equipment I rented was also really good, and I got the store discount as well when I purchased my fins, mask, etc.
In regard to the instruction, working with Rob & Sylvia, and the dives, I can’t say enough good things. This was SUPER FUN to do! Even though it was technical, the instructors made it an absolute blast to learn and dive. Everything was covered very thoroughly (yes, I did all my written homework ahead of time), and yet there was an enthusiasm for diving that I found really contagious.
Of course it helped that I saw two turtles, a nurse shark, and a ton of underwater life. And the instructors took lots of pictures of me diving! 🙂 I got to dive in both calm and windy seas, so I got the full range of experience. I feel pretty confident that I can dive in a good variety of places and conditions now.
I had so much fun that I can say for sure – I highly, highly recommend working with the Davis instructors at Lauderdale Divers. I actually plan to get more certifications the next time I go down (such as peak buoyancy and enriched diver). As Rob says – happy bubbles! Yup, mine were. – via
