Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures (JASA) is a full service, family owned and
operated dive charter operation located in sunny West Palm Beach, Florida, on
the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway. We are conveniently located just twenty
minutes north of the Palm Beach International Airport. Click here
for directions.
We offer daily drift diving charters, year round off the coast of Palm
Beach from our custom-built USCG certified
dive boat "Deep Obsession".
Palm Beach has some of the best diving in the world, from miles of stunning
reefs, to exciting wrecks, all within 3 miles of our coast. Please visit our
DIVING PALM BEACH , and DIVE SITES pages for more information on our fantastic
diving!
JASA is also proud to offer the best in Bahamas live-aboard
diving from our 65' live-aboard boat M/V
Shear Water, departing weekly from our dock in West Palm Beach. Besides
diving the spectacular reefs in the Bahamas, we specialize in "big animal"
encounters. Get face to face with giant sea turtles, swim
with wild dolphins and dive with sharks.
For shark lovers and the more adventurous, we offer specialized great
hammerhead and tiger shark expeditions. Jim Abernethy has been swimming
with sharks almost his entire life, and is a pioneer in diving with tiger and
great hammerhead sharks. No one can get you closer, or get you the best photographic
opportunities!
If you like to look at the smaller things, you won't be disappointed with the
islands of the Bahamas. They offer an amazing variety and abundance of macro
life as well.
We cater to divers of all levels, from novice to the most advanced and technical diver, including Nitrox and rebreathers.
If you don't feel like bringing your dive gear with you, we have a full line of rental equipment, including 35mm underwater cameras available on site.
We take great pride in offering the best scuba instruction in the area with our outstanding on-site instructors: Open water through Divemaster, and many specialty classes. Looking for an Open Water Referral location? Look no more, Palm Beach is a fantastic place to complete your training dives with its year-round warm, clear waters. You can find more information on course outlines and prices on our Scuba Instruction page. We offer certifications in Palm Beach as well as on board our Bahamas live-aboard trips.
JASA is available to film crews and photographers offering safety divers and custom charters. Along with having multiple vessels from 40 to 65 feet, we also have digital photographers, videographers and underwater models, available for hire and stock video footage available for purchase. You can find more information on our video services page. We have worked on film projects with National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Discovery Channel, IMAX & Howard Hall Productions, and a long list of independent professional photographers and cinematographers. Some of the films includes IMAX Deep Sea 3D and Tanya Streeter's FreeDiver series.
Our goal is to insure that whether you are visiting for the day, or staying for a week, you have a safe, fun and memorable trip.
