Non inclusive group that's certifying unready divers as dive masters and assistant instructors…read more(very much "you pay, you get the cert" environment). While we initially enjoyed learning from & diving with this crew, the hatefulness towards LQBTQ community that many of our foster kids are a part of and repeatedly watching them certify folks as dive leaders who were iffy on being capable divers themselves drove us away. Hate losing the connection to local dive community, but having our kids exposed to the off handed, hateful comments was a no go for us and the combined safety concerns didn't help.

Most dive shops are expert salespeople, this place is no exception. However they do excel in…read moreinformation. This family owned business has been everywhere and won't hesitate to talk about all the fun they have, I love that. Training prices are average but equipment is pricey. I don't know if they negotiate on prices, but you can ask them to price match (I don't know if they will do that). They do have a few of the major brands in stock, but I'd call ahead to see if they have what you need in stock. Also, they are the only PADI shop in the area.

At one time, I was an avid scuba diver, logging double-digit dives every month. But then life…read morehappened, divorce, kids going to college, and flight lessons for those same kids. Diving had to take a back seat, and for more than a decade I missed the feeling of blowing bubbles underwater. Now that I'm finally able to focus on myself again, my wife encouraged me to get back into diving. While she'll never (unfortunately) get in the water with me, she happily supports my hobby. I visited Louisville Dive Center to see what they had to offer an old diver like me. The moment I walked into the shop, the familiar smell of chlorine mixed with neoprene brought back a flood of memories. I immediately felt like I was home. After learning they offered a refresher pool session for certified divers, I signed up. I paid my fee and impatiently counted down the days until it was time to get back in the water. When the day finally arrived, I gathered my fins, mask, and wetsuit, my other gear had been sold years ago to help pay college expenses, meh medical release from my Drs, a thing us old divers must get every year, and headed to the dive center. After checking in, I made my way to the pool. Muscle memory took over. Even after 11 years of not diving any deeper than my backyard pool, assembling the rental equipment felt completely natural. I checked my gauges, inflated my BCD, climbed into the pool, and slowly descended beneath the surface. I was home. I spent the next hour practicing my skills and eventually moved into the 35-foot section of the pool. My buoyancy control wasn't quite as effortless as I remembered, but after a few minutes it all came back. It's amazing how much your body remembers, even after all those years. Before I knew it, my air supply was getting low, and it was time to surface. That single hour underwater was one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. The staff at Louisville Dive Center was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. They treated this old diver with the same enthusiasm as someone earning a certification for the first time, even though I probably earned mine before many of them were born. As every diver knows, once the bug bites you again, there's no turning back. I'm already replacing my equipment and planning several dive trips. My wife will happily enjoy the beaches and shopping while I'm exactly where I belong, under the ocean, back home. If you've been away from diving for years and are thinking about getting back into it, Louisville Dive Center is the perfect place to start.
