Greg was our instructor. I have been diving for 20 plus years. Greg was by far the best instructor I have ever had. My boyfriend and I learned things we had never known. Greg was extremely thorough, extremely patient, very level headed, and we had a good couple of laughs! I received major bonus points for my boyfriend to decide to sign us up for this refresher ;) . We are both very comfortable in the water, but realized how beneficial it was to review our water skills. David was extremely communicative via my e-mail questions. I had some questions. David would reply within the hour. Just an over all amazing experience. I will be sticking with scuba shack!

TLDR: You're not going to find a better swim school than Blacktip in San Antonio…read more Blacktip stands out in the community, not just as a swim school, but as a beacon of quality and personalized care. We enrolled our 12-year-old son, who was okay at swimming, but showed some nervousness and trepidation in the water. With summer just around the corner and plenty of water-based fun in the forecast, we wanted him to glide through the water effortlessly and confidently, just like a blacktip shark. After exploring various options, Blacktip was the clear choice, especially suited for his age group. Encouraged by glowing reviews, we booked a trial lesson, and we were paired up with with Nolan, who has the keen insight and nurturing approach of a skilled swim coach. In just 30 minutes, Nolan assessed, coached, and elevated my son's swimming skills, making the lesson fun and engaging. He adapted the challenges to perfectly suit my son's abilities, transforming his tentative strokes into confident swimming. I was positively surprised to see that transformation in such a short period of time. After the lesson, we met Albert, the engaging and involved big kahuna, owner, leader, and instructor from Blacktip. He discussed our goals, shared insights from Nolan's assessment, and made signing up for additional lessons as smooth as swimming with the current. He even discussed what our goals were with the program, which impressed me a lot. This personalized attention is a rare find, in any business, and reflects Blacktip's dedication to each swimmer's success. To be clear: you just won't get that from any other school. I spoke with 5 swim schools, all nice enough on the phone -- but none that were interested in diverging from cookie-cutter approaches, except Blacktip. My son left the school buzzing with excitement about his progress and eager for his next lesson, a testament to the positive and supportive environment Blacktip provides. It was clear that children of all ages were thriving here, each benefiting from tailored instruction that meets them right at their level of proficiency. The facility itself is clean, well-organized, purpose-built, and perfectly designed for swim instruction, making it an ideal environment for learning and growth. Whether you're introducing your child to swimming or looking to enhance their aquatic skills, Blacktip Swim School is a fantastic choice, helping swimmers become as confident and graceful in the water as the blacktip shark.

The group was comprised of less then 10 people, with half of them having prior kayak experience. Well...the group I came with had no kayak experiences but Stacey and the others were very accommodating. They gave us tips and guided us through the small (yet adrenaline rushing) rapids along the Guadalupe. By the end of the session, I was exhausted (and sun burned). Overall, great experience. Stacey Banta is a top notch guide. Highly recommended.

I cannot stress enough how displeased I am at the customer service of this range. I placed an order…read moreonline, which had stock in store listed on the website. After placing said order, I went to the store to pick it up. Mind you, it wasn't a firearm, but a simple scope mount. Instead of fixing the issue, I was not provided any solutions, just a "you should cancel because our stock was wrong." No ship to home, no call when it is available, just a "you're out of luck" response. I don't think it's unreasonable to be treated more than just another number here to buy something. But instead, I just get brushed off to the side like I'm trash.

I've visited this place twice while in town for work. Selection of firearms and ammo is decent and…read moreaccessories seem well stocked. Staff were present and attentive, and registration process for range was simple and easy to use. The issue I had here was only my experience. First was a random fire sprinkler issue that caused the range to close early. In fairness I was not charged for my shortened range time. My problem was with the lack of honesty of my range ammo. To be clear, I used MAGTECH Steel case, copper jacket, lead projectiles. Not steel core ammo. I was holster certified by the RSO, who was a professional employee, using the same boxes of ammo. Clearly listed on the box, and hiding nothing. Then the issue with the sprinklers happened which I heard from two employees is not the first time. I figured someone a few ranges over shot the dam thing out, which is common with novice shooters. Upon being allowed to reenter the building to check out for the day since they were shutting down, a young, and clearly misinformed employee challenged my ammunition. First he tells me they don't allow steel ammo. I said this ain't steel ammo, it's steel casing. Then he tried to give me his un-grounded, opinion on how "damaging" the cases are to my gun. In respectfully said, no, that's incorrect, I've shot thousands of these for years, judging by his age, longer than a he's been in short pants. lol. Then he says how steel ammo may light unburnt powder in the range, which he might have a point, if I was using STEEL CORE PROJECTILES, which I was not. Next was how "dirty" my "steel ammo" is. This was especially entertaining, as MAGTECH uses the same powder and primer, in their brass ammo as their steel cases. Again, misinformation. Then I politely say, why don't you just take the honest approach bro, and tell me you cant recycle the cases and we can end the conversation. I reload, so I get it. However I was not home and needed cheap training ammo. Honest is best next time. Especially in an industry where 80% of your customers are relying on your employees to educate them and help them make a good self Defense purchase. I'll just go somewhere else, no harm no foul.
