I couldn't be happier with our experience with Captain Fred! We had a cancelation with another charter, and thankfully that allowed us to find Born Blue. My son, age 14, was doing his first ocean dive, and Captain Fred gave him great instruction and encouragement. Will definitely come back to Born Blue!

I hadn’t been in the water to dive in over a year but Captain Fred put me at ease. He was my dive partner on both dives while another group went with John, another dive master. Both Fred and John were very knowledgeable and helpful. Their people skills are first rate. Fred cooked up a light lunch that was just enough.
My wife and I have reservations already for March 2022 and Born Blue Diving will again be a part of it. A hearty endorsement for Born Blue Diving. Thanks Captain Fred.

Was I have to say one of the better days of my life and by far my very best diving experience. Captain Fred is knowledgeable and takes you to different locations with plenty to experience we saw a giant sea turtle among the multiple different kinds of fish and eels. Anytime i come to Florida from now on it will be close around because I look forward to many more diving trips with the friendly captain. Last for everyone who wants the buisness side unbelievable rates and non rushed experience Captain makes sure everyone gets every ounce out of every second of the trip even grilled us hamburgers for

Captain Fred was so responsive from the beginning and was willing to customize our charter experience. The kids snorkeled and this mom did a scuba refresher. He is down to earth and offers a great experience for the local wanting to explore (well worth the money). He was also great with the kids and offered a well rounded family experience. We loved his burgers and mate (aka Captain Henry).

WOW! There are no words to say how great of a time i had on Fred’s boat. Fred is a professional in every sense of the word and I can’t wait to go back out with him! The sausages were an awesome surprise and we got to shoot some quality fish and experience some of the best diving in the gulf I’ve ever done, period! Don’t listen to #bobcriesalot (review a couple before mine), Fred is the man and I can’t wait to book many more trips with him and Henry the pup :)

Had two great dives with Born Blue yesterday. Captain Fred was very thoughtful and safety conscious. This was very important to us as we had our 14 year old daughter along. Lunch of grilled brats was also a nice treat once we surfaced from our second dive. The first mate Henry was incredibly warm and friendly.
