The crew was very professional, friendly, and funny. I had two great dives and saw an abundance of sea life (sharks, turtles, and goliath grouper). I dove with Dive Master Joe and would highly recommend for anyone who hasn't done a drift dive before! Will definitely dive with this crew again!

Fantastic experience start to finish. Staff was very accommodating on short notice. As someone who is down for the holidays with no dive experience, I was able to contact an instructor and complete certification within days. The instruction was very professional and the fantastic boat crew made the experience fun and rewarding. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience, an instructor help my sister get her open water cert. beautiful dives at a ship wreck and natural reef and saw a lot of sea life. Had an amazing instructor. The ship crew was great too, offering snacks and drinks. Did a accountability check like they should. Very professional and hoping to dive with them again.

Customer service is what this dive operation is about, which is a welcome change in the diving world where customer service no longer exists. They're friendly from the moment you call to book all the way to unloading your gear from the boat back to your car. I had to make a last minute change to have tanks, as no one was open Thanksgiving day to get fills, and they were able to accommodate us just fine. I can't find anything to give less than 5 stars. They're on our list of operations we dive with for future dives.

With a great boat and crew, you get easy drift dives just a few minutes out of the Jupiter Inlet. 55-70 feet to the reef. Great table reef with a distinct ledge. 2 tank dives for 50-55 minutes each. Book and pay online and e-sign your waivers. Drop off your tanks and gear at the dock and the amazing crew will put them on the boat while you park close-by. Boat tickets include water, soda, and chips during your surface interval. You should already have some experience with boat diving and drift diving. I strongly recommend Jupiter Scuba Diving!

I can not say enough positive reviews about my experience. This was my first dive after being certified. My son as well. I was very nervous, inexperienced but excited. Since the time I called to make reservations, Bill walked me through everything. He explained and arranged everything. The day of my dive the entire staff was extremely helpful, and efficient. Ana the dive master was just a beast!! She was hustling. Susan my personal dive master was amazing. She was so patient and kind to us. She taught me so much. This was the best experience I ever had.

First time scuba diving off a boat in the Atlantic. What a super choice of boat. The captain and crew were the best. Help with bringing the gear to the boat. Setting up our gear on the tanks. I had decided to pay for the dive guide. Worth every penny! Anna was the best ever! Anna gave us good pre-brief / pre dive info and was a SUPER pro in the water. We saw sharks, Goliath grouper, turtles, and tons and tons of other fish. Area 51 was our first dive and then spade fish. Both were great. Snacks and soda served on the boat. Will be heading back again! Thanks for the awesome adventure!

Best and more importantly, SAFEST dive operation in West Palm Beach. Always a good time on the water with excellent crew and experienced Captains. Great sites and lots of big pelagics on every dive. A really cool thing is I met my wife on there two years ago. Having been friends with the owner and crew for years, we actually got married on the boat this summer! Clearly I'm prejudiced, but if you haven't dove this boat, you need to check it out. They also run night cruises up and down the intercoastal for 2 hours at sunset.

Such great customer service! My little dive crew is located more down south but it was worth the drive. The crew (scuba Joe, Mike, captain Collin, sorry if I'm missing anyone!) are funny and very welcoming, we had two amazing dives overall. When we first called to set up the dive, Bill, was so great and helpful. There's so much marine life out in Jupiter and the dive guides will point them out to you. They even give a simple run down of a sketched reef map before entering the water. What I really enjoyed was that you could drift away from the guide without him clacking at you, with a

Outstanding dive operation! Best in Jupiter for sure. The crew goes out of their way to make your experience the best ever. Janine, Anne and Capt. Joe were fantastic, and always ready with a helping hand. Very professional and fun. And the icing on the cake? I accidentally put my FitBit in someone else's dry bag. Bill went out of his way to find out whose bag it was in, he picked it up, and brought it back to the dock where I was waiting. Now THAT'S customer service. Can't wait to go back again. Oh, and the diving in Jupiter is phenomenal.

I flew in from CA for a last minute grad school interview and decided to do a bit of diving. I decided to go with Kyalami (despite being an hour and a half away) because of all the rave reviews. Best decision I could have made. Bill basically bent over backwards to get me squared away. He woke up Joe Smith (one of their instructors/guides) to get me a last minute Nitrox cert and offered to cover my fins fee so I didn't have to check a bag with my boots and fins. Joe was awesome. He made sure I was fully competent and ready to dive Nitrox (which I now think is a must at this depth - 50 min

Very accommodating and helpful crew all around and superb Florida diving! I opted for the private guided tour and I highly recommend it - Anne was a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. She pointed out many memorable things that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
To put it simply it was an enjoyable and comfortable experience. I will be back again for future dives!

My friend/colleague is an instructor in Tampa and he has been diving with this outfit for a long time. I was able to join him recently since I hadn't done any diving in Jupiter. Booked easily online, and check in was a breeze. Really well run boat, very nice crew with a nice in depth briefing. The dives were great, saw lots of cool things. Will be back for sure!

This business sets the bar for customer service. We went for a two tank on Friday 08/31 and on the way out the capt said we needed to turn back and something wasn't quite right with the motor. What a safe move rather than risk something while divers were in the water. It was just a fouled fuel filter and they changed it out and here's where they get really special! Bill tells all the divers we would still be going out for a single tank dive but that everyone qould get refunded for their dive. He also arrange to give everyone $10 for their troubles when they returned so they could have

Booking the dive was very easy. Bill is very friendly and accommodating. Since this was my first dive after certification over a year ago, Bill recommended a private tour with Anne and I am so glad he did. Anne really put me at ease. She reviewed everything with me and was attentive in and out of the water. The dive was incredible. We saw so many turtles and sharks. It was AMAZING. Anne pointed out so many things in the water. She was a great guide. Thanks to everyone at Kyalami Charters for a great dive. We will return soon!

The captain and crew of the Kyalami were all awesome yesterday! Thanks out to Rick, Joe, Bill and Zeke for a wonderful time! Water was a little rough... and viz was not the greatest... but the dives were still great. Crew was extremely helpful, served refreshing pineapple between dives. and helped with gear wherever it was needed! Every time I dive with Jupiter Scuba Diving, I think that they set the standard that all other boats should follow!

We had a fantastic time diving with the crew at Jupiter Scuba Diving. By far they were some of the most organized, fun and personable dive masters and captain we have ever dove with. The crew also provided top-notch service, which was really nice. All you have to do is sit back, relax and dive! When I called to book, Bill made sure we would be all set since we were renting gear and called again two days prior to reconfirm sizes, etc. There were also some other divers on the boat who you could tell were regulars - always a good sign!

My husband, daughter, and I were seeking a dive with lots of animal life. Kyalami Charters made it happen. We saw turtles, sharks, lobster, Goliath groupers, Moray eels and more. While our college-aged daughter was up to date on her diving certification, my husband and I were rusty. Bill, the owner, suggested a personal dive guide to keep us safe and ensure we all had a big experience. Great suggestion. Anna, our dive guide, refreshed our memories on the safety gear, kept us safe, and frequently directed our attention to sea animals. Without her, we would have had a far less interesting dive.

Amazing scuba diving experience. The crew is the most helpful I've ever seen on a dive boat. They take all of your gear from you at your car and carry it all the way down to the boat for you and tanks are already on the boat. Everyone is also extremely friendly. The dive itself is also some of the best in Florida. There is so much marine life in Jupiter. You are almost guaranteed to see something cool! I went for spring break and saw lots of nurse and reef sharks, then came again in July and saw so many turtles I lost count! Also got to see some huge Murray eels and even dolphins on

I have been out with Jupiter Scuba Diving numerous times and every time I am impressed with their customer service and attention to their divers. Jared said it best when I dove with him a while back... "SCUBA is a customer service business". Said perfectly and JSD puts their money where their mouth is and takes care of you. Both Janine and Anne are top class divers and guides. I always enjoy talking with them and getting their input for photography. It's refreshing that they help transport your equipment to the boat from your car. I would recommend this dive operator to anyone whether

Diving with the Kyalami boat crew was an amazing experience! They were as full-service as you could get. They carried the gear to the boat (I didn't have to lift a thing) and they all introduced themselves and were super welcoming, making it a point to pronounce my name correctly, which isn't always the case, even with people who are closer to me. On the boat, they set up my gear for me and, in the meantime, I was offered (various) snacks: fruit, chips, cookies, candied ginger (helps with the seasickness) water, ginger ale and sl-8-erade.

First class experience all the way. From my first call to inquire about diving to the diving itself. Crew is professional, helpful and friendly. I said my name at check in and never had to again. They all knew it (only my initials were on my tanks)....it's the little details.
And a great bonus...the other divers were obviously regulars and very nice and friendly. Everyone around me immediately introduced themselves and we all had a blast. Looking forward diving with them again.

The crew of the Kyalami is outstanding and focused on you...the diver. Jupiter is a stellar dive destination and Capt Sl8r, Capt Cole and team elevate your experience far and above what a typical dive operation provides. They have fun with the diving, they are amazingly helpful with divers of all experience levels and they are experts in dive operations...which translates to a laser focus on safety and professionalism.
It is always a pleasure to dive with them when I am in town.
