Reel Diversion Charters - Cortez, Florida

Brian H.

Chris and Dave took us out to two dive spots off of Anna Maria Island and we had a great time. Chris communicated well with us beforehand and both worked hard to make for a fun and safe experience during the dives. We saw quite a bit of marine life and they even moved the last dive site to make sure we saw more marine life. Dave serves the best pineapple on the island too!
Overall, it was a great experience.

The captain is a down to earth great guy. He was helpful at the dock with loading all the scuba gear for a 2 tank dive. He provided snacks, waters, and 2 doctor peppers if you're lucky. I highly recommend reel diversion charters to anyone wanting to dive the sarasota area.

Had a great dive with Captain Chris. Super friendly professional operation. Super comfortable boat with tons of deck space.

Booked a dive trip, received confirmation and returned a waiver form. I was charged for the trip and got another confirmation two days before the dive trip was to take place. All online and via automated email. I got to the boat ramp as instructed and Reel Diversions was a no-show. No email, text, or call to cancel or reschedule. They don't answer the phone - goes straight to voice mail. They charged me 5 days before the trip. I've protested the charge with my credit card issuer because I can't reach them to give me a refund. I traveled half way across the country with all of my dive gear. If something came up and they couldn't take me out, why no communication to cancel? I tried to book last minute with other providers I think I could trust, but none had availability during my visit. Two other divers I met who were supposed to be on the same charter and were also looking for Reel Diversions when they didn't show up, told me they had the same experience.

Chris & Dave are Both Awesome and their services and expertise are both Fantastic! We have utilized their services for many years and have gone out fishing as well as spearfishing and scuba diving with Reel Diversions! They are very attentive to their customers and get you on fish whether you are fishing with hook and line or scuba diving and spear fishing they will make every possible effort to find great fish for you to get after!!!

We will be back down over the Christmas Holidays as well as in the Spring and plan on scheduling trips with these guys and all of my kids and grandkids are already asking if we can go out with them again. They are Great with All Ages and I love seeing how patient they are with both me and my grandkids!!!

If you want to go out fishing or spear fishing...These are the Guys you want to "hook-up" with!!! Don't waste your time or money going through the "experimenting" process like I did for years trying other Captains!!!

Trust Me...you will be happy you listened and please tell Chris and Dave that Jeff from Michigan said Hello!!!

If you ever think about trying this place....DON'T! They messaged us 2 days before our dive day saying they had to cancel and we could either get a refund or go another day...no problem. We responded right away we want to go another day, since their initial message we have not been about to get ahold of these people. No response to text or phone calls, we are currently disputing the charge through our bank. DO NOT USE THEM!

Response to the owner: That's because it wasn't booked under my name and you only messaged us after I gave you a bad review

Capt Chris is a solid boat captain, always enjoy being on the boat, and I know the students do as well!
