Testimonials

“My wife and I went out with Chad on four dives (two per day), including one shark dive. Chad and his operation were absolutely fantastic and seamless. He was extremely accommodating and supportive during our dive as my wife overcame her dive fears, and the shark interaction was fantastic. On top of all, Chad was a great person with a fun sense of humor. I highly recommend this shop and we will be diving with him again if we return to Eleuthera. Thank you Chad!!!”

“I drove 2.5 hours from North Eleuthera to dive with Chad and it was well worth it! I had scheduled 6 days of diving. One day had to cancel due to winds, but was able to make up on another day. Captain Anderson was very helpful and had me leave my personal dive gear on board. He would rinse and dry it after each day of diving. Never had service like that. Chad took us to several amazing dive sites. The Shark Experience dive was fantastic! Very laid back boat, not your usual ‘cattle boat’ with 20+ divers. Most of the dive sites are minutes away. Would highly recommend The Dive Shop. I included some of the photos I took while diving with Chad and Captain Anderson.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND diving with Chad, especially the shark dive! His shark mentor was the late Dr. Erich Ritter, if you don’t know him, look him up. I’m an open water advanced diver and two years ago, after over 30+ dives under my belt, I experienced dive panic at 80 feet in strong current and had to abruptly and terrifyingly end my dive. I tried to get back in the water with a tank 2 days later and couldn’t push past the fear. I wasn’t sure I’d ever dive again. This year, I wanted to try again and was seeking the most perfect conditions: great visibility, no current, short boat ride to the site, and a CALM, PATIENT, and REASSURING guide. I got SO lucky To find Chad and am enormously grateful that he was able to help me move past the incident and get back in the water. He was an amazing guide, and, the dive sites were perfect! They were so clear, full of purple sea fans, lobster, grouper, colorful reef fish, and Caribbean reef sharks. I absolutely Loved all 4 of our dives and especially loved our shark dive. Hope to visit and dive with Chad again and will never be able to thank him enough for helping me get back under the surface!”

“Went diving with Chad on July 19, 2025. Had a great trip. Saw some incredible coral formations. We hadn’t been diving in a few years and Chad took the time to review the basics with us and ensure that we had a safe dive. Chad was clearly knowledgeable And had some great stories to tell. We would highly recommend Diving with his shop.”
