Frederick Mackmiller

Hey there, diving enthusiasts! I'm Frederick, and my story is all about embracing the depths with fervor. From learning to swim at 33 to becoming a certified diver just a year later, the water's enchantment has become my way of life. As a BLU3 guide at Gold Coast Scuba, I'm thrilled to share the ocean's magic with fellow adventurers. From Divemaster to Master Scuba Diver, my certifications reflect a decade of dedicated diving. With a motto of "Beneath the surface lies a world of wonders, waiting for those daring enough to explore," I'm on a quest to uncover the ocean's secrets and treasures. Join me for an unforgettable diving experience that goes beyond boundaries.

My boyfriend and I wanted to do something fun during our trip in florida so we decided on snorkeling. I am pretty apprehensive about the ocean and was nervous about this. Gold coast scuba helped calm my nerves and explained everything that was going to happen. We had a great time and saw a wildlife yet feeling very safe. I highly recommend them!

Had a wonderful experience snorkeling! Was on vacation by myself and did this experience to see all that Florida has to offer and I am sooo glad I did! Very affordable, informative, and over all an incredible experience. Booked Discovery scuba for this weekend as well. I recommend renting a wet suit and the underwater camera, also very affordable and WORTH IT!!!

Hands-down, the best scuba shop in Florida. They have created a fantastic community of divers so you can always find buddies. They mix it up with different types of dives multiple times per week. Everyone that works there and dives with them as friendly. I have done numerous dives now with their groups, and it is always fun, safe, and educational. The shop is awesome and has a good assortment of gear. If you need some thing specific, they can order it for you. The employees are knowledgeable and can put you on the right track. They also do live aboard dive trips every now and then, so you can go experience different countries scuba. Prices are great as well so I don’t even shop around. I highly recommend this spot.
