I
have
always
wanted
to
learn
how
to
scuba
dive,
but
life
and
other
circumstances
always
managed
to
get
in
the
way.
Recently,
I
finally
found
myself
in
a
position
to
pursue
this
dream
of
mine,
but
I
was
sure
I
would
have
to
cast
my
net
outside
of
Bakersfield
to
find
classes.
However,
lo
and
behold,
when
I
started
researching,
I
discovered
Bakersfield
Scuba
Center.
They
just
happen
to
be
a
hop,
skip,
and
a
small
jump
away
from
my
neighborhood,
so
I
bopped
on
over
to
check
it
out
and
see
what
there
was
to
see.
I
was
a
little
intimidated
and
nervous,
but
I
was
instantly
made
to
feel
welcome
and
at
ease.
There
was
no
over-selling
or
pressure--just
a
friendly,
accepting
atmosphere
that
immediately
helped
confirm
that
I
was
making
the
right
choice
(Amanda,
you're
the
best!).
When
I
met
Steve
and
Peggy,
the
owners,
that
feeling
was
instantly
validated
further.
They
are
the
kindest,
most
patient,
funny,
sweet,
understanding
people;
I
feel
as
though
I
did
not
just
take
some
classes
from
a
local
scuba
shop
but
instead
made
lifelong
bonds
and
friendships
that
will
continue
to
foster
my
love
for
scuba
diving
the
rest
of
my
life.
The
Dive
Master
(Steve--I
never
could
have
done
it
without
you)
and
assistant
instructors
have
the
patience
of
Job
and
without
their
support
and
belief
that
I
could
do
it,
I
don't
think
I
would
have
succeeded.
Additionally,
they
take
safety
extremely
seriously--you
will
be
in
excellent
hands
by
choosing
Bakersfield
Scuba
Center.
I
plan
to
continue
working
on
my
certifications
with
them,
and
honing
my
diving
skills
with
Andy,
Shane,
Julie,
and
Zach
(love
all
you
guys!).
The
class
sizes
are
small
and
intimate,
and
you
are
able
to
receive
individualized
attention.
The
final
trip
to
Catalina
Island
is
a
blast!
It's
absolutely
stunning,
and
you
will
have
the
time
of
your
life.
If
you're
considering
learning,
I
cannot
recommend
Bakersfield
Scuba
Center
highly
enough.
Don't
wait--go
now--you
will
not
regret
it!!!
