My husband and I first walked in 01/2026 to sign up for the Open Water class. We just finished our…read moreconfined water dives this past weekend with Dale Rush. The attention that he has to safety is absolutely incredible. His focus on our wellbeing while showing us the skills we needed was a wonderful experience. If we did anything wrong he corrected us with an outstanding amount of patience, and told us the reasons why. He stays calm even when you're not, reassuring you that he's got your back. I had plenty of options to select the right size wetsuit, and BCD from the rental gear. Their store also has amazing gear that I can't wait to buy. Dale went over features to look out for in our gear, so I'm looking forward to making my first kit purchase with Underwater Safaris. I purchased some gear prior to completing my class online and I regret that. The mask I bought online from a different store did not fit comfortably so it is absolutely recommended that you go into the shop and let them help you fit gear so you're not wasting money in the long run. Be mindful, if you want to purchase your own gear for classes, plan days ahead. I believe we got a great value in our training so far, most importantly because I felt safe. We also learned skills that we are going to be able to use for the rest of our life. Can't wait for the 4 quarry dives with Dale!

Even though my last few dives (including multiple SSI certifications) were less than a month ago, other local centers told me that I would need to participate in a refresher course either because they didn't 'trust' my SSI credentials or because it was 'required'. One also told me that they wouldn't take me to the quarry because "I wouldn't enjoy it".... Needless to say, Bruce at Underseas came through AND paired me with Johan Raffin who was an excellent instructor for this course... AND I DID enjoy it! The quarry is definitely cold and murky, but it was also a good learning environment. I would highly recommend Underseas for their service quality in the shop (thank you, Bruce!) and the professionalism of my instructor, Johan!

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.
