Bio

We are the only PADI 5 Star IDC Center licensed by Floridas Department of Education located in Palm Beach County! We own our boat Sirena and offer 5 Star Service on our Charters, Gear Sales, Service, Tank Fills, and Classes.

We focus on the conservation of our local reefs and their inhabitants. As such, we do not allow any spearfishing onboard our dive vessel Sirena. We teach Coral Reef Conservation, Sea Turtle Specialty and Fish ID courses (among others) frequently.

If you're interested in diving Palm Beach County with some like-minded people, give us a call or shoot us an email. We'd love to show you why Palm Beach diving is worth conserving!

International Coastal Cleanup Day 2012

Pura Vida Divers partnered with the Palm Beach County Diving Association to host a Shoreline/Reef Cleanup at Phil Foster Park on Sept 15th 2012. The weather was pretty crummy with rain all morning but several volunteers still managed to collect over 50lbs of trash from the shoreline and underwater. Pura Vida Divers hosts cleanups at Phil Foster Park twice a year...Earth Day in April and International Coastal Cleanup Day in September. Let us know if you'd like to come out in the future and make a splash for trash with us!
