Scuba Guru - Diving Certification and Classes

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 Conquer your fears and have fun doing it! Having suffered from severe anxiety most of my adult life, scuba diving was always something I wanted to do but the fear of doing it always stopped me from trying. I've always loved the water and snorkeling at different locations. I came across Mike at Scuba...

Harrisburg's West Shore Scuba

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 I participated in a Tune up Tuesday and Katie was our instructor. She was the BEST! She was thorough, personable, offered constructive criticism kindly, and made observations that resonated and caused me to course correct immediately. If you’ve been out of the water for a minute and want to get...

South Jersey Scuba

Dive shop

👍👍 I was able to get certified with Ed, Jenn, and Kevin. It was absolutely amazing! They were able to help keep me calm and enjoy learning about scuba for my license. They also have instructors that are learning to teach, Knapp and Kristi were just as helpful they will be amazing instructors. The train...

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.

Aquanautics Scuba Center

Dive shop

👍👍 I cannot speak highly enough of Amanda and her training. She is one of the most compassionate, patient and understanding teachers I’ve ever had inside and outside of academia. She explains every procedure and performs every exercise in the water before you do which makes you feel much more comfortab...

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...

Ocean Spirit Aquatics

Dive shop

👍👍 I did my first 2 open water dive sessions with a different shop and wasn’t able to finish the remaining 2 dives because they cancelled the diving sessions last minute. Then I found this place and I finished the remaining open water dives with Jim about a year ago. I came back to complete advanced op...

Mid Atlantic Scuba Center

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 You go here, rather than Amazon for the service. You know that the wetsuit fits. The mask won’t leak and your life is not on the line at 60ft under the water due to faulty gear. SCUBA gear is not the stuff to buy on ebay. For decades they know what works and service it well. Keep your gear in top c...

Atlantic Edge Scuba

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 Recently I decided to get my PADI certification. After looking at options in the metropolitan DC area, I decided to give Atlantic Edge in Gaithersburg, MD a try, and I'm so glad I did. My dive master, Terry Wells, was amazing. He gives the right amount of attention to detail, ensures your learni...

SCUBA Professional Education Dive School

Diving center

👍👍 Back in the 1990's, Mike Parker taught me and certified me in the later trip to Cayman Islands. I live in Washington, DC and the school is conveniently located in the DMV. As a solo traveler, I had ample opportunity to experience the prats and pitfalls we were taught to avoid, or if unable, how t...

Blue Horizons Dive Center

Dive shop

👍👍 After getting my Open Water last year with Blue Horizons, I had the opportunity to join them on my first dive trip. We went to Roatan and Kelly had taken care of every detail, from our rooms to breakfast and most important a great diving experience. There were a variety of dive sites, and all were a...

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...
