Fabulous diving center. It feels like a second home. Val, Stephanie, and Pat are amazing—knowledgeable, attentive, and truly top-notch. They will set you up no matter if you are a novice or experienced diver. Enjoy a variety of dives: shallow reef, drift, night, and wreck dives and more are all on the menu. So come in and enjoy the Tarpoon experience. I've been diving with them for over a year, and every trip has been incredible. The journey is only getting started. I love Tarpoon Lagoon Dive Center, and there are 1,000 reasons you'll love it too. The only setback is the location—you'll need to come to them in Hialeah—but it's more than a fair trade 😁👌🤿
