    #padi #rescue #demp graduating class
    Beth L.

    The shop introduced me to a passion for diving that I didn't even know I had! Everyone has been warm and welcoming, bringing me into the fold of the family so to speak! Melissa has gone out of her way to help me pick a camera system best for me - taking a day off to bring in personal systems to show me options! Even taking a return on a defective bag (months after it broke because I kept forget to bring it!!) Jason taught my rescue class and helped me to be calm (even when I was stressing about my buoyancy and mask issues) - filled our class with laughter and seriousness at the same time. I see the level of effort these two and the rest of the team (Robert, Drew, etc.) give - and I am happy to have them as my home away from home. A place I trust to have my back. An ear to listen. A set of teachers to continuously learn from. A place that brings me joy. New friends to travel with and new experiences to soak up! Thanks guys

    Scuba class for novice teenagers.

    Took a group of 19 teenagers from the Naval Sea Cadet Corps to Nautilus Aquatics for an intro scuba diving class. I was extremely pleased and completely IMPRESSED by the instructors: Chris, Andrew, and Bernadette. They were helpful, patient, informative and made the class FUN!!! They kept the energy high and the teenagers busy the whole time. Thanks to Melissa and Jason for creating an excellent and friendly atmosphere that makes you want to come back. If you've never tried scuba diving but have always wanted to make sure you check this place out.

    I signed up for the reactivation class. Sam was very helpful and responsive when I asked questions…read morebefore and after I signed up. I did the reactivate this past weekend. My instructor was Israel. Over the last few years, I tried getting back into scuba at two other places which sucked because they couldn't correct trim problems I had. Israel is definitely the best dive instructor I've had. He was very patient and more than willing to answer the many questions I had. He also mentioned things that other dive instructors never mentioned. I'm glad I was assigned to Israel for the reactivate class. If you decide to take a class through One Ocean Scuba, I would recommend requesting Israel as your dive instructor.

    I've always been curious about this shop tucked in a corner of Kemp Mill Shopping Center next to…read moreShalom Grocery Store. Rich and I don't scuba dive but recently went in to drop some toys in the Toys for Tots donation box. It's a nice store with items displayed neatly. There were goggles, wet suits, and a variety of products I'm not familiar with. There were some scuba/ocean related like stuffed sea creatures and a few holiday ornaments. On a black board in the back was a list of upcoming excursions, including one to the Maldives. I heard the owner talking to a customer about the difficulties of picking up trash in the Potomac River because you can barely see anything in front of you. I was really impressed with the neatness and organization of the store and with the wonderful attitude of the staff.

    Unfortunately they are now closed. The Realtor has a for lease sign up and inside remains the…read moretropical colors. When they were open it was a huge shop just outside of all the craziness of the DC Metro in a tiny little rural town / farm area of Catharpin. Prices were good. People were good. Location was just 10-ish minutes off I-66. They had racks of wetsuits, shorties, BCs and had plenty of dive gear. They could work on your Regs, Octopus, and most gauges. They could get you a regular fill or a Nitrox fill and you could drop it off or get a sandwich from the gas station. They had training and refresher courses, quarry dives, pool dives, vacation dives in the tropics. There are only 2 good dive shops in the area that remain. It's like people would rather watch TV than go out and dive...

    Review for the shop:…read more This shop is huge, their selection for all types of diving is excellent, and the staff there was friendly and better yet, informative on everything. They went above and beyond in answering all of my questions, including being able to tell me the mechanical details of how a regulator first stage (piston type) works, the pros and cons of each type of regulator, possible freezing temperature (unlikely but possible), air flow capacity etc... they were able to tell me the different types of BC's and all of their pros and cons... list goes on for everything I purchased. Now naturally, one would expect sales people to be attentive, sure, but they were educators first and salespeople second. I never was pushed, just helped and I'm satisfied with everything that I purchased. They helped me assemble my regulator first and second stage, and hoses. (I would have liked to have seen the process for that- but then again, I didn't ask, so that's my fault. I can always YouTube it.) Before buying, I even grabbed some food and double checked what they told me in the car via online research, and they had been honest. I had spent an hour at Best Buy last night trying to get a GoPro to no avail (Best Buy didn't have a waterproof glass casing in stock), however this store had a pretty decent competitor to the GoPro 4 for less than half the price, and it already came fully encased, waterproof up to 300 feet. And yes, I checked all the specs. ============== Review for the dive instructor/class: Immediate pro is that it cost only like $210 for the entire advanced certification, including 5 entire dives, 2 days with instructors, AND a drysuit rental. I found it exciting, challenging, and more difficult (in terms of dealing with cold water, low vis) than your average warm water dive or pool class. Which is exactly what I expected and wanted, walking into it. It was great for training and building mental toughness in the water. The instructor is very informative and helpful, and the class size was small (me and maybe 1 person), which is never a bad thing as you get a lot of help and focus. He's friendly but also expects you to perform your skills right; which is how it should be for an advanced diving cert/class. The only thing that didn't go as planned is that we weren't able to perform all the skills we were supposed to, as visibility was only about a foot (it rained heavily this week). Which is completely understandable from a common sense/liability POV, but it still sucked. The instructor said next week should be better though, so we'll see. If it is, I'll update review to show that. Either way; I get to come back for free until lake conditions are acceptable for training. Worst case scenario if they're not is a free day of partial dive training. Only things to work on: try to get a better range of sizes for drysuits and 7mm wetsuits. Bottom line: I highly recommend every new scuba diver in the entire D.C./MD/VA area come to this shop for their gear, and also for their advanced certification
