Marine Diving Service

Diving contractor

👍👍 Z saved my marriage! That may be an exaggeration but he did go above and beyond when he came to Half Moon Bay Marina to recover my wife’s eye glasses that had fallen off the dock. Watching him operate so quickly and smoothly was impressive, Z is the real deal. He is the first and only call you ne...

Rey Diving LLC

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 I had an incredible experience doing the pool portion of my Padi Open Water certification. The instruction was thorough and I appreciated the small class. After this session I feel very confident to progress to the open water dives I need to do to complete my cert!

Scuba Connection

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 I truly fulfilled a dream earning my advanced open water certification and working with Scuba Connection was the absolute best decision I could have made. I took this journey very seriously and took months to research and reach out to shops. Partnering with a shop and finding the right instructor wa...

Pro Dive

Dive shop

👍👍 It has to be the best dive shop in the northeast tom and tom are so knowledgeable and always fair priced. It just has that warm family atmosphere when you walk in. Highly recommend stopping in for a full dive gear or just a beach towel and bucket to play in the sand they have it . Theay also have so...

Public Safety Diving, LLC

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 I finally managed to convince my NON-adventurous wife to learn to scuba dive, which was a stroke of luck in itself lol. The next hurdle was finding a good scuba instructor that was flexible with our schedules and gave us good vibes. Let me tell you… we got even luckier! Eric was the best scuba instr...

Good Life Divers

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 They do gear servicing! I recently got both my BCD & regulator serviced here right before Thanksgiving. It only took them a week and the total came out to less than $200.

Tiedemann's Diving Center

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 After a bad experience with another dive shop I tried tiedemanns place and what a difference . He doesn’t try selling you anything you don’t need has a great bunch of instructors who are very knowledgeable and patient if you struggle with a certain skill (in my case mask clearing) they work with you...

NJ swim and Scuba

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 This is the other / second location for Manhattan's Gotham Divers which has been around for a very long time - same great owners + instructors, just a second location for the folks in NJ (also, onsite pool - very convenient, not a lot of pools are designed for scuba training the way theirs is - goes...

Gypsyblood Dive

SCUBA tour agency

Urban Manta Private Scuba Lessons

SCUBA instructor

🫤 Summary: Haphazard but mildly helpful and I still did get my certification, however I’ll likely re do it elsewhere before seriously diving. Update: the owner is now pretending this experience never happened rather than taking responsibility and perhaps learning from aspects of the feedback. Details...

The Ski & Scuba Connection

Dive shop

👍👍 Don is a tough but knowledgeable instructor. It was a great experience getting certified with him. I'd recommend Ski & Scuba to anyone looking for anything scuba related!

Ocean Horizons Scuba Inc

SCUBA instructor

👍 Gary Gardner is a great instructor. We did the open water dive in Monterey this weekend. Unlike the one who gave us the swimming pool training class, Gary is super nice and patient. It really helped me a lot to get relaxed and finished all the test in the ocean. He is really a great instructor. Than...

Lakeland Divers

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 Lakeland Divers is a great place to learn how to dive. Al, the owner, is a no-nonsense instructor who will keep you safe under water. I just completed my NAUI basic certification, and I feel that I got a great education. The store is well stocked, and the prices are very fair (checked on Amazon). On...

Captain Mike's Diving Services Inc

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 Captain Mike's is less about social media /online reviews and more about personalized dive instruction. I just completed my OW certification with Captain Mike after enjoying the discover scuba class in Hawaii. I don't think you can find a more experienced instructor in the NYC area. Captain Mike car...

Big Blue Scuba

Dive shop

👍👍 I completed my Open Water Certification with Vic with Big Blue Scuba. Big Blue Scuba is THE BEST. When speaking with Windy and Vic, they were both extremely knowledgable, professional, and easy to talk to. Vic was an excellent and humble instructor. He was careful and attentive during instruction an...

Adventure Scuba Inc

Dive shop

😠 I’m sadden to write this account as I wanted to like this place, but my experience was 100% avoidable. I went through the certification process elsewhere despite trauma I had to undo from Adventure Scuba. I tried twice to go to Adventure Scuba--big mistake. I arrived excited and ready, but left with...

Underwater Adventures Dive Center

Diving center

👍👍 Had an amazing time learning from the instructors at Underwater Adventures Dive Center. They are not only passionate about diving but each instructor is clearly interested in being a thoughtful teacher. Everyone was given the individual attention needed to become a well rounded open water diver. Ver...
