We live in Barrington Hills near by, rather than order on amazon I'd rather support local business. Play by play I walk in 30 minutes before they close, I tell the tall white bald gentlemen who I think may be the owner. I'm glad your open Response Not for long OK I'm interested in getting equipment to teach my kids how to dive reponse, are you an instructor. No I'm not . I'm not looking for full gear just mini tanks to teach in our in ground pool how to breath They have used rescue tanks and I'm looking for small tanks on their back with a regulator. His response I know someone who died in 3.5 feet of water their lungs exploded. Then He just looked at me like I was clueless. Could not have been less friendly. All I could do was walk out and not purchase anything. did not ask me my kids age, my experience, nothing. I walked in excited to spend a few thousand to upgrade our gear and get junior padi divers their gear. Walked out in just a few minutes. I would have given one star but I saw several things I planned to buy walking through for myself. Scuba world is normally very friendly . sadly not the case here.

If you wish to go to the main beach, that's an additional $12 if you are not a resident of Crystal Lake. The grounds are immaculate, very well maintained, and the bathrooms are clean. There are two lakes, multiple pavilions that you can rent ahead of time. Lots of picnic tables for you to sit down. Near the bar and grill while you can't go in the water, you can take your drink and sit on one of the cheers on the beach. You can watch people practice on their WaveRunner. Swing on the swings at the bar and listen to great music. I did not have any food here. I did have an amazing Mojito. The bartender was a young man looking to join the Barrington police force. Polite, kind and also had great customer service skills. The reason why I didn't give it five stars is that there are absolutely no markings anywhere as to what trail you are on, how long of a trail it is, and where there may be porta potties. There aren't any maps or QR codes and it was a bit confusing as I came upon several wise and the trail to decide which way to go as I had limited time there. Given the fact that everything is so nicely taken care of I don't know how they can't have at least some markings on the trails that they have there. One of the workers sent me direction and it literally just took me to a pavilion. They have kayaks, canoes, paddle boats and SUP boards. They also offer lessons for SUP depending on the day. Lots of people fishing. Amazing Place! Please add signage for the trails! The pop and water machine near the beach entrance did not work. Hopefully those are checked daily to repair.

I was amazed that when he saw my goggles were not good, he just said that I should replace them. Not once did he mention buying from them. I did check prices on the internet. I could not find a lower price for the mask and snorkel. Looking forward to scuba diving, again.

From the beginning, we really liked the vibe that they gave off, and they have treated us like family ever since. The staff are very positive and patient with divers, and they put a lot into seeing their students succeed. They are also very responsive to calls and messages, and have always been willing to work with their schedule to make classes fit with ours. We've now done 9 dive trips with them and they have all been awesome. They do such a great job putting together trips and taking care of the hassles of travel (finding reputable dive operators, planning out the logistics, making sure you have everything you need to know about travelling to your destination in advance of the trip, laying out any taxes and fees you will be charged by foreign governments and dive operators, etc). I can't recommend Breezeway Bubbles enough whether you are interested in getting certified, continuing your education, buying diving (or snorkeling) gear, or going on a trip.
