jeff Jones: First off, skin and scuba is the one and only place anyone should look for when deciding to learn how scuba dive. Everyone has been extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I do have to give a huge shoutout to our instructor, Tim, as he has been absolutely amazing. From day 1 he has been more helpful than we could have ever imagined. He even went out of his way to not only help us look for scuba shops for our vacation, but also contact several dive shops on our behalf. He is personable and has well over 10,000 dives. He is an fantastic human being who teaches just for the love of teaching. We have found our dive shop family and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you again, Tim. It’s been an absolute pleasure learning from you.

Very welcoming and informative about what they do and packages. The "try scuba" special of $30 pp really allowed me and my family of 4 a great time! Oldest is 14 and wanting to become a marine biologist, working with dolphins. This was a perfect opportunity for her to experience scuba diving. We all loved it, telling virtually everyone we know. If you have ever thought about doing it, or wish to start, don't hesitate! It was informative, fun and such a cool family outing. Thanks again guys!!! Btw the owner was there assisting, great guy too!

Brian Uder: Took Open Water certification with John. Awesome experience! Very small class size, so lots of opportunity for 1:1 and answering questions. John is very patient, super helpful, and very friendly. Pool is nice (and heated). Allen was also very friendly and knowledgeable (and very accommodating since he had to bring equipment for my wife and I because we couldn’t stop in to pick up equipment before the lake dive). Drove up from Oklahoma for the class work, and it was well worth the drive even though I could have taken my Open Water locally. I plan on taking additional certifications here. 10/10 would recommend!

He came up and had a headache from no air. 5'10 large white guy in his 60s told him he needed to eat more that's why he was light headed. Not from the fact he couldn't get air. We couldn't finish our training because of it. Then drill sergeant tried to charge us to come back and finish. Dont recommend. test equipment

Amy F: I took and intro to scuba dive class and had a blast. I have always wanted to learn and had no experience at all. I was nervous because I went alone, but everyone was so nice. I felt the instructor was very knowledgeable and worked with us closely to make sure we understood. I wasn’t expecting such personalized attention. I plan to get certified in the future for sure!

A huge plus for me is the staff who are medically trained (ie. professional paramedics, medical staff). It gives me peace of mind to know that IF something goes wrong, I’m diving with professionals that can render emergency aid competently and expeditiously!!

Jackson Webb: Very helpful and nice
