Underwater Connection

Dive shop

👍👍 Went on the Cozumel 2021 trip with underwater connections and not being a regular or for that matter never being in the shop before the trip I was nervous that I would be an outsider on the trip. I was wrong after only one day with Mike and the group I felt like I had known them for the past ten yea...

Sea Level Diving

Dive shop

👍👍 Wow! Excellent scuba training! We got our granddaughter and her new husband a ‘Try Scuba” at Sea Level Diving for a wedding present. I sat on the bottom of the deep end out of the way, and of course, took pictures of their ‘first bubbles’. They then got their Open Water. The three of us went on thei...

👍👍 BLUF: Goose's is a great shop with some top notch people. Very Impressed. DETAILS: I"m the operations manager of a Scuba shop in Tennessee, and I had a group of 7 divers up in the area for a weekend of diving wrecks. I had arranged with Goose's for fills on Saturday after the first day diving was...

👍👍 Aquatic Adventures is THE BEST! I did my open water and advanced certification there, a dive trip (already signed up for my second!) and many charters.

Scuba Sensations

SCUBA tour agency

👍👍 While I was somewhat interested in scuba diving, I was pretty content to be a snorkeler for life because I was nervous about scuba diving. My husband and I signed up for the Open Water certification class at Scuba Sensations, anyway. My fear and anxiety about scuba diving was in full force by week 2...

GOT AIR SCUBA

Dive shop

👍👍 Incredibly patient, kind and attentive staff. This team really knows what they're doing. I was a bit hesitant to pursue lessons here due to their odd location (an industrial/trucking area) and small size. But realize, they only need their storefront to sit 10 people at a time for book lessons, an...

Dive Right In Scuba of Orland Park

Dive shop

👍👍 I was brought to Scuba Emporium by a good friend of mine who introduced me to the world of scuba diving. I am not very water friendly, didn't think I would be able to accomplish learning how to scuba dive. However, the instructors at Scuba Emporium, as well as the owners Patrick & Sherry Hammer, h...

DJ's Scuba Locker, Inc.

SCUBA tour agency

👍👍 Extremely nice people, more than willing to help out any of their customers, or potential customers. Very knowledgeable staff including front counter help, and dive instructors alike.

Dive Right In Scuba

Dive shop

👍👍 As others have stated, service here is truly exceptional. Haven't had a chance to visit in-shop but online ordering has been nothing short of a positive experience and has been my go-to place for equipment. They're typically great at calling to confirm anything that doesn't look right and any issues...

Illinois Institute of Diving

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 OK, so as a total surprise, my wife got me open water lessons for fathers day. Full disclosure- I am not and have never been a "water guy". I am not a great swimmer nor am I some kind of great athlete (or even close). But I have always been fascinated by the undersea world that I have not yet ever e...

Pirate's Cove Diving Inc.

Dive shop

👍👍 Jerry and Sandy are nice. They do a lot for the local buccaneers scuba club. They do fair prices on gear and even go above and beyond. Good charters and safe practice.
