Rick, I did come across those two incidents (actually, I know a guy who was on the police investigation for the Feb. 2013 fatality). Since at the time we were considering chartering RJ's for some work dives (the project in question fell through before we got that far) I asked my former DSO for his opinion. RSMAS still used them for scientific dive training afterwards and as of March 2013 had no complaints. There's a quite extensive thread on ScubaBoard (Accidents and Incidents forum) discussing the Feb. 2013 incident.Divers Paradise off Key Biscayne I can highly recommend. RJ's has a reputation....just do a google news search for them
It's been a good 9 years since my last UM club dive with RJ's, but at the time I rated them well. Haven't been out with them since due to a 6-year exile out west and then being hellbent on logging most of my dives up north. I've only rented gear from Divers Paradise. Anyone know of any other Dade County dive boats?
