Dive 30a reached out, first postponing for 30 minutes, in hopes of the storms clearing up. The second time, they informed us they needed to cancel. All of that is professional and reasonable, but... When we received the refund, it was minus $10 per person ($70 total) for the booking fee. When I asked about the refund, I was only forwarded a screen shot of the refund policy. Yes, I did read the policy when I booked. But, it was cancelled by Dive 30A, not us. This doesn't seem like good business, nor does the screen shot response.

For those of us who have a spiritual worldview, we believe in another realm…read more And the Bible speaks of a spiritual realm. The Bible teaches that humans were created by God in His image, which means we have a spiritual component. We are more than physical entities; we possess a soul/spirit destined for eternity. Even though the spiritual realm is invisible to the physical eye, we are connected to it, and what goes on in the spiritual realm directly affects our physical world. And that's what being underwater brings to mind for me, a realm that you can't see unless you go there, and when you do, it is supernatural and extraordinary. And Dive 30A is the best way to get there - underwater! Opened in 2020 by my friend, Walt Hartley, it's the place to begin your underwater adventure whether it's lessons, or a guided outing, or great gear. I will never skimp on my diving gear, and you shouldn't either. Walt is an extremely safe, experienced, well-trained diver, and I'm going with nobody but him as I explore the underwater realm. It's as close as you get to the spiritual realm in your human experience, and the experience will make you say amen.

Hubby (already certified) & I went in just to inquire about classes, I was extremely concerned about the swimming test because I'm not a very good/confident swimmer. After talking with Todd, we decided I should try a swim lesson in their on site pool with Kada. Within an hour I was confident enough to sign up for my e-learning & set a class date. I won't lie when say I was extremely nervous about the whole thing. Day 1 was in the pool (our class size was 6) & what an amazing pair of instructors we had! Josh & Kada truly made the whole process confidence building while assuring skills are achieved & well practiced. Day 2 was out at Morrison Springs working on newly acquired skills. Day 3 was supposed to be a boat dive however weather conditions were not good so we went back to Morrison Springs to finish up our open water certification. Honestly, I don't think I've ever had better instructors when learning a new skill before, Josh & Kada absolutely made the whole experience wonderful.

Since we flew in, we didn't have space to bring much equipment, so I called a few times asking questions about di#erent things.

You check into the shop and then drive across the street to the dock to drop off your equipment and park. Ben, the mate was helpful, funny, and knew right where to put us on the boat and who to pair us with. We did a reef dive for the first one and it was full of fish and different coral. The second dive was a wreck and really cool. We got to see the goliath grouper that stays in the wheelhouse and tons of different fish. The visibility was very good at both places. Nancy, the captain, was excellent. She knew so much about the area and the different dive sites and knew right where to drop the anchor and then the divers. We couldn't have asked for a better trip.
