Lance is the best instructor for freediving! I signed up hearing great things and it's all true…read more Despite having scuba training, I had trouble equalizing my ears for dives and worried I wouldn't be able to pass the checkboxes needed to get the certification. Lance let me work with him during part of the lunch break in the open ocean water and I chipped away at it under his coaching. He related to my competitive nature and helped me focus by relaxing (almost like you get better by trying less, if that makes sense in diving). In the last hour of the day, I finally passed and he gave me a high-five/hug in the water for getting it. I still have to work at getting better, but he was so tremendous in learning the skillset and I'd be rooting for him to break the next freediving records!

Can't say enough good things about Spear America, and specifically Noah…read more Came back from a trip to Mexico where a local shop had installed the wrong spear tip on my speargun. The gun was unusable for the entire trip. Total disaster. When I got home, I reached out to Spear America and Noah immediately diagnosed the issue, identified the correct spear, and went a step further. He swapped out the incorrect European tip so I wasn't stuck paying twice to get the job done right. That kind of service is rare. He didn't have to do it. He chose to. Saved me money, solved the problem, and turned a frustrating trip into something I can laugh about now. Customer for life. Shops are only as good as the people they hire, and Noah is exactly the kind of person you want on the other end of the counter. Thanks again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

She has never said one negative thing about my diving, even though I suck, She has always encouraged me and made suggestions on how I can improve.
