    Had a Great Dive Experience at Devils Den over the weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! It was well organized from arrival, to safety briefing, and all the way into the cavern for the dive. Steve was checking on all of us throughout the dive. It was a perfect afternoon. He also provided extra equipment I failed to bring and was very knowledgeable about points of interest to look for and explore as well as places we should use caution. Very positive and memorable dive at an incredible place.

    My son and I just completed our NAUI Advanced Diving Certification with Steve “Deadpool” Grewell CEO of Compressed Adventures. I am not sure where to begin but let just say this; if you are not going to hire Steve to be your instructor/guide then you are missing out and you are also not setting yourself up for success. My son and I had the best Adventure diving that we could have possibly imagined. Deadpool blew our expectations out of the water (pun intended). This was our first-time diving in Florida as we traveled all the way from ND to dive with Deadpool. We had an amazing first day at Denton Lake, our second day of diving was the memorable Blue Grotto and the last day of diving we dove the unique Hudson Grotto. I am not sure what was our favorite as each place has a uniqueness that can only be experienced. Our dive experience was phenomenal and that is because we had the best dive guide (instructor). Deadpool is incredible, he is fun, patient, technically competent, connects with his divers, provided the best quality equipment and training, and always upholds the most important rules of diving; don’t die, look good and have fun. Thank you so much Steve for all your assistance. We will be back and that is not a threat it is a promise. People you need to book Steve and Compressed Adventure for your next training or adventure dive do not look any further. Our adventure was well worth the time, effort, and money. You cannot put a price on what Deadpool provided us, we walk away completely satisfied. Deadpool lives up to the standard of exceeding the standard. What’s your Adventure!!!???

    I recently had the opportunity to join a meetup with Compressed Adventures at Devil's Den and can't say enough positive things about my experience diving with Steve (aka "Deadpool")! He went above and beyond to create an organized and fun experience for our group and gave thorough safety briefings before our dives. (I'm just getting back in the water after some time off during COVID, so diving with an instructor was a nice refresher for me!) Steve was very professional and safety-focused without giving off "scuba police" vibes like I've encountered elsewhere in the dive community. I strongly recommend taking classes with Steve and I'm considering him for my NAUI advanced open water certification!

    Very professional, experienced and very knowledgeable. Steve is a very good instructor that is very fun and friendly. I felt I was in good hands and felt completely comfortable with Steve knowing that he was very well prepared with safety in mind. I was impressed with how prepared he was for an emergency if one would arise. He loves what he does and it shines through. I would highly recommend Compressed Adventures to anyone looking for a dive instructor.

    One of the coolest weekends of my life! You won’t find a more fun, engaging, and knowledgeable instructor than “Deadpool” - Steve is an excellent instructor and an even better person! He made me and my brother feel very comfortable in the water (despite some nerves early on). Do yourself a favor and get your scuba cert. here! 🐠🤿🦀🐡

    Training with Compressed Adventures was an amazing educational experience. Steve is a great instructor! He is patient and comical and that makes for a great learning experience. He makes you think about what you are doing and why. The whole staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking to learn to dive or enhance the experience you already have, I highly recommend training with Compressed Adventures. #whatsyouradventure

    Steve Grewell is absolutely the best diving instructor! Constructive criticism, patience, patience and more patience made me very comfortable in a fascinating underwater environment! With one-on-one VIP training, I totally trusted him to teach what i needed to know and get me out of any bind 58 feet down. I am now ready to explore a whole new world! Thank you Steve for giving me the knowledge to enjoy it!

    Steve is an exceptional instructor, not a dive shop employee teaching scuba. He was able to work around my schedule since I was traveling to Tampa from out of state. I was never rushed through the skills. Can’t wait to plan another trip to dive with Compressed Adventures again!

    I did an underwater maternity photo shoot with Steve! I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I’m pretty much a don’t look at me person so this was a huge step out of my comfort zone. However, he and Melissa made it fun, easy, comfortable and a great experience! Being almost 32 weeks pregnant you don’t usually feel beautiful and they made me feel amazing! I love how he captured the pure beauty of life in every photo. These photos I will treasure forever and be able to one day show to my son. I recommend doing an underwater photo shoot pregnant or not with Compressed Adventures! It’s something so unique, different, one of a kind experience that you would least expect to have. Thank you for capturing so much a couple Sundays ago! I can’t wait until little man arrives to get another one done with him! ❤️

    We had a great time diving with Compressed Adventures. Steve was so welcoming, we felt like we had known him for years. The Blue Grotto was unique and a great first dive for my wife and I. We will definitely dive with them whenever we're in the Florida area!!
