These guys are hands down the best in Sarasota for Scuba. I have been wanting to get certified for years, but never could make the schedule work. Tim, Greg and Carl set up my classes and certification around MY SCHEDULE!! Seriously the best customer service I have every experienced. And they are fun! More

Being new to the whole "diving" scene we were very apprehensive after the first day, However Carl and Leeann guided us through our skills to become certified. I learned to trust that I could concentrate on learning my own skills, confident that my husband, 11 year old, 14 year old and 17 year old were well taken care of. Thanks... More

I've been a Floridian and in love with scuba diving for 2 years now. I have visited all the local dive shops since then, feeding my enthusiasm for the sport and I truly must say that Florida Underwater Sports (FUSE) stands alone, unrivaled for their customer service. I have chosen to complete all my courses through them, up through Rescue... More

They were awesome. highly recommend the whole... More

I first went to Florida Underwater Sports March of 2008 (that date was not available in the date selector above) They were just starting out. I have a walking problem and can not walk with my tank and BC on. They helped me get my equipment into the water for my dives. It was wonderful. Since being certified, they have... More

Mom and Dad needed a refresher course (not dived for 16 years!!) and we wanted our kids to qualify as PADI Open Water divers. From the first exchange of e mails it was apparent that these guys know what they are doing - very friendly, professional, flexible etc etc. The pool training is in a great outdoor pool nearby and...

I joined up with these guys for the second time for a weekend of scuba diving at Jupiter Florida. They were totally organised, proffesional and very helpful. As a fairly new diver (under 30 dives) they were very helpful and offered lots of advise. One of the most important parts of the trip was they made it real FUN !... More
