Jeff was great getting us fitted with rental snorkeling gear. Especially with my youngest who was struggling with the wetsuit and booties fitting. Friendly, helpful, gear was in good condition and kept us warm. Will definitely go again with these guys!

Jeff was a pleasure to work with, helped set my dad up with a wetsuit, as well as a wonderful weekend of diving, with great recommendations on gear, dive sites, and more.
