John Pennekamp Dive Shop

"Joel and Zach were wonderful guides, and the coral was much more robust than I expected. We saw lots of fish, and a sting ray too. Thank you to Pennekamp State Park for your conservation efforts."

"My husband and I love John Pennekamp for many reasons but this review is about the employee in the dive shop, Lucas! He is one of the friendliest people I have ever met and he is full of good information pertaining to the area. We can’t wait to come back and say hi!"

"Dan and Amanda were great. Our dives went amazing and they pointed us in the direction of some really good spots. They took our safety serious and helped us out in every way. Can’t wait to come back!"

"I recently dived with this shop in the state park after several years. It was an amazing dive, the staff was awesome. They pointed out turtles, were very safety aware, went through a checklist with us before we left so we wouldn’t forget gear. When one of our regs malfunctioned, they swapped it out and helped us. Moss was amazing at pointing out animals and guiding us, and he was so fun to talk to between dives about the reef. Amanda and Travis were amazing too. The dives were epic, I will def be back!"

"The 1 day SCUBA diving course held by the staff at the John PenneKamp Dive Shop was amazing. The morning was filled with classroom and dive practice. Our instructor Katie kept us involved and the course moving. The practice diving in the marina was the perfect environment for learning without having to worry about being in open water. The 2 afternoon dives were great and about 45 minutes each. We were taken to the North Dry Rocks and the North North Dry Rocks. If you are looking for a great experience this is your place. Just a word of advice though, make sure you have all of your paperwork filled out and sent prior to going and make sure that you have doctors notes for any issues."
