Brady is a patient and competent instructor who really owns the subject, gives clear instruction and expectation on skills required to acquired. I have not only completed my PADI Rescue Diver certification with TSA but have come back again and again to continue my development.

Brady is dedicated to what he loves, - and that is diving and his students. You will get hands-on, small group attention from these guys across the board. They will NOT send you into the world without the skills and confidence you need to succeed and be a safe and conservative diver. Brady is a wealth of knowledge with nearly 3,000 dives, and he takes considerable time to share (very) important information from that experience that you won't receive from 'bigger' shops, or even the PADI courses themselves. His calm and patient demeanor will help you achieve the skill and confidence you need in order to have a safe and enjoyable experience. BONUS 1 - TX SCUBA ACADEMY's rates are very reasonable (probably the lowest I have seen) BONUS 2 - Brady is also a Certified Travel Agent and can help you book and plan trips No question - these guys are FIVE STARS! BOOK IT !!

Dustin Ainsworth answered my first call, presented a solution and worked with us to get my husband and me in for a refresher class and dive in a timely fashion. Morgan was our Divemaster and she was INCREDIBLY patient, reassuring, fun and professional. Exactly what I needed! She is excellent! I can't say enough about how prompt, professional and perfect the entire team at Texas Scuba at Blue Lagoon was to work with! I HIGHLY recommend the refresher courses, check off dives and/or full certification courses. In addition to our superior experience, our daughter was supposed to come with her scuba class at TAMU and at the last minute the divemaster in College Station that was going to join the class needed to cancel. I reached out to Dustin and he reached out to his top notch team and they were able to get three of the students in so they could complete their full certification as they had hoped. Needless to say, everyone was thrilled to cross the finish line and appreciative of the service Dustin and team provided. Thank you!

We came for a recreational dive and the team…read moreremembered my husband from almost a year ago when he took lessons and they were so informative today as far as refreshers and tips. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed before we went off by ourselves. It looks like they have a lot of group dives and several SSI courses every month. The store carries everything one would need. For those looking to test different gear, I could only see the Mares brand dive gear. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a place to learn how to scuba dive, get more certs, or just looking for a friendly dive community!

Very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. I've completed my Advanced Open Water, Wreck and Altitude 'certs' with them.

This past Sunday, I accidentally ordered the wrong size weight pockets and dropped them a line asking that they please call me, because of my mistake. I received a call the next day, Monday, letting me know that they had already found the weight pockets I needed, even though they weren't listed on their site, and they could have them sent out that same day. Here it is Thursday morning and my weight pockets have arrived, as well as stickers and lollipops. I look forward to purchasing more gear from Woodlands Dive Center in the future.

Scuba lessons are very affordable and my sage advice from trying to learn on split fins that were too flimsy, a leaking mask that didn't fit my pointed little head, and a leaking snorkel that tried to drown me. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE that is trying to help you save money. I immediately ordered my own fins, mask, and snorkel as soon as I knew what I needed. Please consult Amy...the best! Can't help but love her. Chris is awesome too. You will be taught individually (scuba), and they teach swimming for any age both individually or in small groups, all in a beautiful enclosed heated pool! And local! I was so thrilled and thankful to find them when I chose to pick up Scuba diving. If you like flying under water, following correct procedures for your own safety, willing to learn a new exciting sport working with amazing dive masters, somewhat physically able, can float easily and swim, love the water, able to pursue your new expensive habit, will always have a dive buddy, then this is the place to start and finish your Scuba Open Water Certification(s). They also have additional instructors (see website). I met three of them who certified me for both Dive 3 and 4...only 4 open water dives required, performing different skills proficiently each dive. If you are not able to perform all of them correctly, practice, get good at it, and retake the Dive you needed help with on another day. I was not charged extra for a retake). Go live, enjoy, scuba with new friends, travel when you can, laugh much, and have a blast experiencing your new sport! And learn from a professional school teacher as well as a Professional Dive Master that will help you along the way learning the skills you will need. Amy rocks as well as Chris.

All of the skills build on each other, so you don't jump right into it and you get comfortable as you go along and learn more skills. Jez was encouraging and went the extra mile to help those of us who felt nervous about doing certain skills. He is also really funny, which helps time go by really fast! I am considering signing up for an Advanced class with Jez, since I liked the Open Water course so much. I highly recommend Scubaland as well. They are really helpful and the course itself teaches you skills ranging from how to put your gear together to learning about what to do if your air runs out underwater.

From being extremely knowledgeable, to extremely patient! Very kind, humble and a sense of openness, to even the most unlikely questions that we had, from just being curious and new at scuba.... Very flexible with our schedules, from meeting with us for the first time, to pool time. Once we had signed up with ASU, we started our PADi online course. Once all the chapters and tests were completed the "second" phase of pool "hands-on training" started. We met with Adam at an amazing indoor pool facility. Went over all safety checks, equipment, signals, etc... We did several days of pool exercises, learned everything from safety, our equipment (BCD, Mask, Computer, etc), how to clear our mask underwater, buoyancy, assisting your "buddy" in case of an emergency, equalizing (hardest to overcome for me), pressures, etc... Adam really is the best instructor we could have ever asked for! He worked really hard until we understood what he was teaching/showing us and over all until we accomplished what we needed to learn. Safety is top priority for him. We also, bought all of our equipment from Adam. FYI - don't call your MASK, goggles!!!

Won't shop here again. The owner responded on google, making fun of my house/living situation, which shows a lot of class on their part. Response to owner: I just looked through my emails again, including my spam folder and see no mention requesting the use of paypal until AFTER one week had passed and I sent multiple emails requesting a response to my order being canceled. The cancelation just says "Order #7000 was canceled because of unforeseen circumstances and your payment has been voided." with no further details. He feels the need to lie for some reason. And I live in that 'run down trailer', frankly rude to judge someone's property or living conditions for absolutely no reason.
