I recently returned home from my second international trip with Scuba Schools of America & Swim. Rusty is the king of the ocean supporting and encouraging all scuba divers to experience all that Belize had to offer underwater. My husband and I had a great time and will book again with these awesome scuba diving adventure travelers!

I recently returned home from my second international trip with Scuba Schools of America & Swim. Rusty is the king of the ocean supporting and encouraging all scuba divers to experience all that Belize had to offer underwater. He works hard to use his photography skills to capture and share these unique underwater experiences. My husband and I had a great time and will book again with these awesome scuba diving adventure travelers!

If you are looking for a school that has professional instructors that don't rush you in class and will teach you everything the right way from the start I recommend Rusty and his team!Not only do they teach you scuba they will teach you the right way of doing even simple things so it becomes 2nd nature from the start.I love these guys they got me back into scuba and taught me everything I need to know so I can dive better & finaly get to even 100' deep and back safely.Not only do they teach they have a pool on site so you can go whenever and test new gear or prep for classes, the store has anything and everything you need and I enjoy my custom bcd that can hold double the normal amount of air you buy from other shops, and I quite like it a lot!Make sure to take advantage of this shop because you will learn a lot, I seen a lot of instructors from other places that just seem beat because they had so many bad students so they have to go up and down with them hurting both instructor and students but because they prep you before the ocean many of the basic open water students seem much more professional than at other places!I trust Rusty crew with my life and my kids and seen them train many family's the right way to enjoy this amazing sport!

Great instructors. They make sure you learn scuba the right way. Always a friendly face in the store, and make it easy to ask questions.

I moved here from Europe and needed to update my SSI profile. They were super helpful, they helped me right away and were genuinely very nice. I will definitely go to them next time I am diving in South California! Thank you!

Had a great time learning, and applying the knowledge throughout my dive in their open water divers course. Rusty is an awesome instructor above all. As I continue to dive and learn I'm pretty sure now that I've made my right of passage as a certified diver we will continue to communicate and dive together in the future. One the biggest pros of this shop is their gear pricing. There is no need to google pricing they are very competitive with pricing and can also acquire anything that is not on site.

I was referred to SSA Montclair by friends and I’m so glad I took their advice! Rusty and his staff are knowledgeable, patient, accommodating and fun! I’m in the process of getting OW certified and I’m excited to go on boat dives and diving vacation with my new friends on the scuba squad! Highly recommend this dive shop!

Great shop… by training here, you not only get great training… you also get a great dive community. Many shops get you through minimum requirements to get you certified, but rusty makes sure the you are actually ready to dive even if it requires extra pool sessions and extra dives to make you ready to dive proficiently. As far as the community, it is like a fun extended family with a passion for diving

Not only a great shop... but also a diving community. Rusty does not just go through the minimum to get you certified to dive, he puts in the extra effort and time to make sure his students are actually prepared to dive. Well organized with a priority on safety. Activities with current and previous students feels like a fun extended family
