Jim Abernethy has been in the diving business in
Palm Beach County as a charter boat operator and
scuba instructor since 1981. He has an amazing
enthusiasm for diving and spreads that enthusiasm to
everyone around him. In 1994, Jim purchased his first
dive boat and started Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures,
Inc. (JASA), One year later he added a second boat and
for the next four years he continued to run local dive charters
in Palm Beach while also leading dive trips to land based and
live-aboard destinations throughout the Caribbean.

In 1999 JASA expanded by adding a third day boat and a 12-passenger live-aboard boat. A dream come true for Jim as he would now be able to spend an equal amount of time in their two favorite dive locations, Palm Beach and the Bahamas.

Our friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff is what sets us apart. With a staff of over twenty dedicated individuals, we look forward to sharing the best of Palm Beach and the Bahamas with you. Whether you're an “old salt”, an occasional diver, or brand new to the sport, we're sure you'll enjoy our diving adventures with our trained captains, instructors and dive masters who are there to insure you have a great time.

Jim is proud of the way JASA has grown and look forward to continuing to provide the very best in diving adventures, in a safe, professional, and fun environment.

JASA is committed to the environment and works closely with organizations that have the same goals and objectives. That is to protect our oceans by educating divers and non-divers on how precious and sensitive they and their inhabitants are. Whether it is turtles, sharks, or the general heath of our waters, we believe that all need our help to survive so they can be shared with the next generation of divers.
