My husband and I wanted to do the Open Water Diving Certification (2 days) and Achi Divers was a friends recommendation.Zach was our diving instructor and he was AMAZING! He explained every skill we had to learn in an easy way and very clear to understand. He made us feel super comfortable and safe during the diving exercises in the pool as well as the ocean afterwards.The diving sights off the coast of Key Largo were just gorgeous! We saw many colorful fish/sea life including a giant lobster, moray eel and barracuda.Zach offered to make a short underwater video each day for just $30. We gladly accepted and Im so happy we have them to show our family/friends how awesome it was!!
Did my open water with them great people, the shop have top of the line equipment at a very fair price; the classes are in small groups our instructor was Arturo great guy he is a very well rounded diver and knows how to walk you step by step thru the course definitly comig back for my advanced with them
Just completed the Open Water Diving Certification (2 days) over memorial day weekend and would recommend Achi Divers to anyone looking to start or deepen their diving experience! Arturo and Marcos were both super knowledgeable, competent, and made it a very fun experience. As someone with a fear of open water, I was able to learn these skills with much more ease than anticipated, in large part due to how safe I felt with both of these instructors and how fun they made the whole experience. Cant recommend them enough
We just finished our open water certification. What an amazing experience. Thank you Marcos for your instruction. Marcos was extremely professional and explained every step of the process. Thanks also to Jay, Zach, Arturo and the rest of the staff for your warmth and kindness. We felt very safe with their guidance.
The team from AchiDivers is awesome!I was concern about my sinuous problem so they guided me trough a discovery dive so I could experience it and see how did I feel.After an incredible experience with Arturo as my instructor and guide, I decided to jump into my open water certification next weekend.It was an amazing experience and I would recommend AchiDivers to everyone who ask me.Thank you guys! Will see you next time for the advanced 😁
Arturo was an amazing instructor for me my son and nephew. We called and spoke with Arturo on Friday and we’re scuba diving on Saturday. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and safety was a number one concern. We saw amazing marine life which included, school of fish, jelly fish, crabs, starfish and more. It was a magnificent time and we will definitely come back for more. Thank you Arturo for a life moment experience.
Arturo and his team were amazing! They are fun, friendly, and made my first ocean dives a memorable experience. achis staff is highly skilled and made me feel really comfortable during my advanced training. I left feeling more like friends than student/teacher. Highly recommend!
Summary of negative experience:- did not get a promised refund for their screw-up- upsold on Discover Diving courseI went on vacation to Florida with 3 of my kids. Only I and my older child were PADI certified. Seeing good reviews for Achi Divers I called them and asked whether the younger 2 kids can stay on the boat while we are diving. I was told that as long as I pay $40 each of them it was no problem.When we went for equipment fitting a day before the dive I was up-sold (~$250) to get a Discover Diving course for my 10-year old. Knowing my kid I was a bit reluctant, but was told that it would totally work out.It did not. While training in the pool before the dive the instructor told me that he recommended for her not to do the dive (she had a hard time replacing the regulator.)And then on the boat the captain told us that we cant leave the kids on the boat without adult supervision. As a result our instructor had to remain on the boat with the kids, while we went with another group that was on the same boat - more than 10 people, instead just 2 or 3 of us as originally planned.When I called Achi divers requesting partial refund for the negative experience we had, they told us that they would give us just $40 back for one kids boat charge. Even that money was never refunded, despite my several (replied) messages to the business.
Had a great two days so far with my open water dive cert. One day to go! Special thanks to Marcos for the step by step guidance and information. Great instructor. ... and special thanks for the endless Cuban music for our entertainment!
Had the best time of my life. Mark is an excellent instructor, very patient during my open water diver course. He helped me get over my initial fear in the ocean, kept reassuring me and built my confidence up. I saw sharks, stingrays, barracudas, huge lobsters, jelly fish, a giant green eel, and tons of unique fish. It was amazing to say the least. Thank you Achi Divers for making this the best birthday ever.Please know, It’s a new shop so all the gear is either new or in like new condition. They practice social distancing. Everyone purchased their own mouthpiece, wore masks on the boat and everything was wiped down afterwards. Always felt completely safe. I’d give ten stars if I could.
Excellent experience! Arturo was our diving instructor, and he made the whole PADI certification process so much fun. Going in, I was a bit nervous. However, Arturo displayed a total mastery over all scuba related techniques, which really reassured me. Additionally, he was extremely encouraging and attentive - making sure we all learn while having a good time. I highly recommend working with Achi Divers! You will not regret it!
Great instructors. My family and I had so much fun on our adventure.Thanks for getting us certified and excited about our next dive with you guys!
Arturo is great. He’s experienced, committed to his customers, flexible and a joy to be around. Really recommend Achi Divers for your Florida dives!
I loved diving with Arturo! I gained confidence quickly and saw some really cool wrecks in Key Largo near John Pennekamp Coral Reef state park.
Great scuba diving shop Achi Divers!!! Had a great experience doing Belcher wreck and neptune memorial. Arturo and Daniel made the trip very comfortable and fun. The whole trip was well planned and on time. Highly recommend, Ill see you soon!!!
Achi Divers is a great outfit for anyone looking to dive in the Florida’s Atlantic coast. Arturo, the owner and main instructor taught us through our Advanced Open Water 2 years ago and we were thrilled to be able to dive with him again last week. We’re from St.Louis and brought more friends with us this time to complete their Advanced Open Water with Arturo, that’s how highly we consider him as an instructor. He’s patient, has a calming demeanor under water and is full of tips and recommendations to help you improve your diving across all specialities, not just the ones he’s teaching. I found him to be particularly helpful with improving my buoyancy so if you struggle with that as well be sure to lean on his expertise. We had a great time on our last visit with him and Danny visiting Neptune’s Memorial and the Speigelgrove ship reef and we’re looking forward to our next trip down to dive with Achi Divers!
After a decade of not diving and being certified, The staff of Archi made it easy to come back in the water. The fact that Archi has a diving club makes it better because I can meet people, share experiences and soon hopefully will travel with them.
As scary as scuba diving can be, this is the only place that I would trust to teach me. I’m not someone that usually does these types of activities so I was really nervous and scared, but as soon as I hit the pool in the first lesson, Arturo, the instructor, put me at ease. He is so unbelievably patient, takes his time to have you really understand concepts and learn. He made the entire experience fun and now I can’t wait to continue to scuba dive! I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to try this out, especially if you’re like anything like me.
These guys are absolutely amazing! From start to finish, they were supportive and patient with me. I conquered my fears and they believed in my abilities to be independent underwater. Highly recommend them for anyone wanting to learn something new with people who are passionate at what they do!
Amazing experience with Achi Divers, had a great time and a lot of fun while learning to dive. Cant wait for the next one! Thank you!
Just completed the Open Water Diver certification with Achi Divers. Arturo was a great guide, super knowledgeable and making everyone feel comfortable with the new gear and environment. Can’t wait to book Arturo again for the next certification. He also brings a GoPro cam and takes pictures for you and the group! Thanks Arturo!
The team on board were great. We felt safe and were looked after the whole day. We have dived with this company twice and it keeps getting better! This was an amazing trip on a Perfect.

I did my open water with AchiDivers 3 weeks ago. They are really great and accommodating to our schedule and availability. Arturo and his brother Oancho are great instructors.I wanted to get a diving certification for a lot of years until a good friend of me recommended them.I really recommend them. Now I want to get my deep ocean certification!!!!
We had a fantastic time with Achi Divers team, we will recommended you to dive with Pancho and Arturo.
Very good service ! Very attentive in everything & an unforgettable experience ever . Thank you again !
I got my open water cert with Arturo Chirinos mid June this year. After completion I kept checking with him about equipment, tips and recreational dives to get more comfortable in the water. I asked too many questions 😳, but it also led me to buy my equipment and Diving accessories. It is awesome to have your own equipment and learn how to use it. In the end, the more comfortable in the water, the better! After a few recreational dives, I decided then to go for my Padi advanced open certification With him and his team (Pancho and Cisco) @Achi Divers. Great experience, knowledge, and lots of fun. I will definitely continue my diving education, and keep learning with this group of talented divers @Achi Divers! All👌👌. Highly recommended!
You guys do a wonderful job, thanks.
I got my open water certification with Achi Divers and I couldn’t have loved more the experience.
