Great place to get scuba certified! Was really easy to work with Anthony and he made sure we felt safe and learned how to do everything right. Appreciated the small classes and easy scheduling too. Even before the actual class Anthony was responsive to our questions and easy to communicate with. Would recommend!!

Anthony taught me to dive. What a fantastic human: patient, clear, safe, fun.... His style is absolutely brilliant, with just the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Can't recommend him highly enough, what a tremendous experience, both in the pool and the ocean.

They keep track of your profile in case you want to rent again, very handy. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. If you have any question, they are patient to explain and answer. If you rent on the weekend, they refill the tanks for free after the first day, just come before they close. Can't say enough good things about them.
