I had my 12 years old son take his first open water class today at Ocean Safari and it went perfect. This has always been my 'To go place' for any diving related needs in Miami, and now I can add the academic experience to the list. They are very professional and super friendly. PADI Instructor Garry Reinhardt is the best choice I could have made to trust my son's dive training. He is an experienced dive instructor and very knowledgeable, not to mention his kindness and intuitive teaching skills. Garry really knows what he is doing and my son loved taking his first class with him. I would recommend the dive shop and Instructor Garry for any diving related experience, specially if you are looking for a personalized teaching experience for your children.

My instructor Gary R. is one of the most patient and flexible instructors. A retired veteran, he just teaches and dives for fun. I admire him a lot and he is a great instructor. On a short work trip to Miami I wanted to finish my certification and Gary worked around my busy work schedule and accommodated me the entire way through the process. The store was friendly and was able to assist with all the admin work. Thank you. I am now certified.

A friend and I decided to get scuba certified. We chose this location because it offered the most competitive pricing in the Miami area. The business is family owned and operated. The lady answering the phone and greeting customers is very lively and knowledgeable. The gentlemen preparing the tanks and working on equipment has years of experience. My diving instructor was excellent. She made sure that we got sufficient pool time before the all important ocean dives. And, the owner is obviously an elite in the scuba world. They were all helpful from scheduling my classroom time to my pool time to getting me fitted for the all important wetsuit. The place can get really busy so if you decide to go or call, you may experience a wait time. So, go when you are not pressed for time. Some items may be in stock, whilr others may not. The cute wetsuit with pink flowers I wanted was not available in the store. No worries, they ordered it for me and it fit, perfectly. They can order items for you that may be out of stock. There are no designated fitting rooms (like in department stores) but you can try suits on in the bathroom. Feel confident that all your questions will be answered by scuba diving professionals with decades of experience. There is street parking as well as a store parking area. Use the store's parking area because the ticket police are doing their jobs, very well, around this location. And, if you do decide to visit, you may just be offered a colada by the owner's friendly mom.

I'd give Ocean Safari 10 stars if I could! Ocean Safari is the premier ScubaPro dealer around south Florida. IMHO, ScubaPro gear is really well made and I am a convert. Ocean Safari is a relatively small shop but they carry everything ScubaPro, and if they don't have it in the stock, they'll order it and get it for you in a couple of days. Service is fantastic. They dialed in my new regulator when I said it didn't feel any better than my beginning reg, no charge. I was interested in a pair of Nova fins, and they gave me a demo pair to try on my week-long dive trip! I bought two pairs, one for me and one for my wife. They are just so friendly, knowledgeable and customer-oriented, that this is no my dive shop, period. No more going to Diver's Direct, or other local shops. This is it. Another loyal customer. Keep up the good work!

Great place, good service, they do refill pneumatic spearguns! They have a big selection of products and they are very knowledgeable on the tools they sell, you can ask them mostly question and they will be happy to help!

This review is just for divemaster Gary Reinhart teaching my open water course. Gary is awesome! He made sure I understood everything he was teaching and suprise tested me underwater. There's nothing like a tiny bit of panic that your dive pal might be out of air to make damn sure you remember what to do. Yay! He did these kind of suprise underwater safety tests a few times, so now I don't feel panicky at all. I simply do. Instead of the first day being in a boring pool, we went to a lake! It was awesome!!! Gary did not ever make me feel like he was rushing or going through lines. He taylored the course for me and went over procedures that I did not understand multiple times until he was satisfied that I really got it. For instance, I had a hard time taking off my mask and then putting it back on and clearing it underwater. It made me feel uncomfortable and panicky as hell. He didn't make me feel stupid about it, he offered extreemly helpful sugestions, and made me do this more than anything in the course until it was no big deal. Anytime I felt interested in learning something that was not in the course, like chilling at neutral buoyancy upside down or understanding how to navigate underwater, he took the time to teach me. After taking this course with Gary, I taught my AOW certified boyfriend safety tips he never heard of. I really feel like I got the jackpot of scuba instructers. I feel confident and safe with all the wisdom Gary has bestowed upon me. My boyfriend and I are safer because of it! Plus, Gary has some awesome stories.

I walked into this dive shop about 13 years ago and never left. First I became a client, then a dive instructor there and now I feel as though they are family! I couldn't ask for a better shop to work for and I have worked for a few. They are extremely knowledgeable with all things scuba and if you need something that is there.... they will go out of their way to assure you have it. I hope to be diving, teaching and planning trips for them for many years to come! Stop by and check them out! You wont be sorry!!

10 Parrotfish Facts, 20 Photos, and the 14 Caribbean Species

Diving safari: 5 destinations to capture the best underwater photos.

When I hear the words “diving safari,” I can’t help but think of “Mogambo.” What can I say? I’m getting old. I’m sure the younger generations do not know about this movie John Ford directed. Oh, how many wonders the cinema of the 50s showed us!

Today, I have the task of writing about “diving safaris,” and it brings to mind the mature and attractive Clark Gable, taking the very young and equally beautiful Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly on a photographic safari in Africa. Yes, we agree, it wasn’t a scuba safari, but the parallel is evident. After all, a safari is a safari, whether you wear mountain boots or a wetsuit; the objective is to admire animals in their natural habitat.

While those adventurers ventured into the jungle, we divers venture into the sea.

If they were ecstatic to see elephants, rhinoceroses, and lions, we, on our diving safaris, seek humpback whales, manta rays, and bull sharks.

If Grace Kelly and her husband hired Gable to film gorillas, you (insert your name here), as an avid diver, trust Dressel Divers to fill your GoPro with images of manatees , whale sharks, and schools of dolphins.

Well, in this article, we’re going to tell you where you can embark on excellent diving safaris to achieve just that.

Take a look at the table of contents.

1. Diving Safari in Playa del Carmen to See Bull Sharks

2. scuba safari in the maldives to capture it all, 3. red sea diving safari among shipwrecks and coral reefs.

4. Ocean Safari Diving with Pelagics in Socorro

5. Snorkeling Safari to Isla Mujeres to Swim with the Biggest Fish in the Ocean

If you’re looking for thrilling experiences and face-to-face encounters with majestic bull sharks , we have the perfect diving safari for you! We’re talking about diving with bull sharks in Playa del Carmen. With Dressel Divers, in addition to our base in Playa del Carmen, you can also embark on this excursion from Cozumel, Puerto Aventuras, Cancun, and Playa Paraiso throughout the season. The season runs from November to mid-March.

Imagine immersing yourself in the crystal-clear waters of the Mexican Caribbean and coming face to face with these impressive and powerful creatures. Our expert guides will accompany you at all times, providing the necessary safety and information for you to fully enjoy this unique experience.

Our diving safari in Playa del Carmen is a one-of-a-kind experience that combines the thrill of diving with the fascinating opportunity to observe bull sharks up close in their natural habitat. Diving with bull sharks can be both an exhilarating and a nature-immersive experience. It’s a unique opportunity to learn about the importance of conserving these animals that are vital to marine ecosystems.

While you decide to dive with bull sharks, we have a couple of articles that will interest you and a collection of photos from this diving safari.

5 Jaw-dropping Bull Sharks Facts You Didn’t Know

Diving With Bull Sharks in Playa Del Carmen, Everything You Need to Know

Welcome, underwater adventurers, to the fascinating world of scuba safaris in the Maldives ! Get ready to dive into the crystal-clear waters of this tropical paradise and discover an incredible variety of marine life that will leave you breathless.

Shark enthusiasts will also have their expectations met with encounters with nurse sharks, reef sharks, tiger sharks, silver-tip sharks, silk sharks, hammerhead sharks, and whale sharks. At the same time, those who love wreck diving can explore a World War II warship: the HMS British Loyalty.

Without a doubt, a scuba safari in the Maldives has something for everyone’s taste.

If you’re into hidden mysteries in the depths, don’t miss our scuba diving safari among shipwrecks and coral reefs in the Red Sea .

Immerse yourself in history and uncover the secrets that lie within the remains of sunken ships while being surrounded by 1,250 species of fish, including 125 endemic species, and some of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs. Let’s not forget about the gray, white, and black reef sharks, as well as the oceanic whitetip, hammerhead, tiger, and thresher sharks that are typical of the area and waiting for you.

Our selection of scuba diving safaris in the Red Sea offers a variety of thrilling adventures for the most daring divers. From historic wrecks to sheer walls, drift dives, and majestic pinnacles, there’s something for everyone.

4. Ocean Safari Diving with Large Pelagics in Socorro

Memorable encounters with magnificent marine creatures are what the diving safari in Socorro Island offers.

Let me tell you a secret: although Socorro Island is the most well-known, there are actually four islands in the Revillagigedo Archipelago, which is a true underwater paradise located off the coast of Mexico. This is where every diver’s dreams come true, and I’m not exaggerating!

Get ready to come face to face with majestic sharks, such as the whale shark and the impressive hammerhead sharks. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to spend this ocean safari diving with large pelagics such as giant Pacific manta rays, playful dolphins, humpback whales, schools of tuna, sunfish, and even orcas performing their role in a breathtaking natural spectacle.

But Socorro is not just about giant mantas and hammerhead sharks. It is also a destination that attracts divers, photographers, and professional underwater videographers from around the world due to the perfect conditions and extraordinary behavior of marine life. Whether you’re an experienced diver or taking your first steps into this fascinating underwater world, Socorro will welcome you with open arms and provide you with a diving safari that you will remember forever.

Adventurers, if you’re seeking an exciting wildlife-filled experience without the need to descend into the depths, our whale shark snorkeling safari is tailor-made for you.

It’s a unique opportunity to dive into fun and swim alongside the majestic whale shark on our incredible snorkeling safari.

Imagine yourself snorkeling with your mask and fins on, and suddenly the largest fish in the ocean appears right in front of you. Whale sharks are gentle giants that enjoy swimming at a slow and tranquil pace near the surface, which is why we offer only a snorkeling safari with them. I assure you, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of being in the presence of these majestic marine creatures.

Our whale shark snorkeling safaris take place several times a week throughout the season, which runs from mid-May to mid-September.

For more information about the whale shark snorkeling safari, please refer to our guide “ Swimming with Whale Sharks in Mexico ,” or feel free to contact us to inquire about any diving safari, there are more.

An unparalleled experience! They are incredibly professional, making me feel like part of a National Geographic expedition during the open ocean safari. In addition to observing and interacting with marine life, it was also highly educational.

They show you amazing sights, talk about the animals you see and conservation efforts. They are literally the Steve Irwin of the ocean.
