I took basic keelboat at Delta Sailing School. I was originally scheduled to take it right when the…read morecovid restrictions were out into place. DSS restructured their classes and (at least for my class) reduced the class size to two and made it a 3 day course instead of four. I think the class length and size ended up being perfect! I had a great partner to work with and we clicked really well. Wendy was my instructor. She was a fountain of experience, knowledge, wisdom, and more importantly patience! She allowed us to make and learn from mistakes while making sure we didn't put ourselves in danger. The class was usually indoors for the morning, then out on the water after lunch. We got a ton of time on the tiller with plenty of time to practice our maneuvers. The sailing area is in the San Joaquin river. There is ample room to sail, but you do end up taking or jibbing about every 5 minutes or so. With how physical it is I think we got the perfect amount of time on the water. DSS was a fantastic place to learn. I ended up joining their sailing club and am looking forward to lots of practice before taking my next ASA class with them!

We actually couldn't take the boat out during the course weekend because of the immense amount of rain, so Ryan followed up with each student individually, driving more than 2 hours from his home in some cases. After our on-the-boat afternoon, we feel infinitely more prepared and equipped to handle the powerboat we are renting! 5+ stars to Ryan!

There, we had a chance to tour the facility, meet the staff and students, and get a close-up look at the planes on the runway! Everyone-from the instructors to the students went above and beyond to educate us about the program. They were so open and transparent in sharing what's involved in the training process. If aviation is an interest, I highly recommend dropping by and talking to this outstanding team at TrexAir. A+ across the board!

This definitely made me feel like I'm dealing with a group of teenagers who are just doing ads to make some money and not able to help anyone that's actually interested in such a huge career. I reached out to another school yesterday and got back to me today with a full price and what actually would be to be involved with becoming an airline pilot. I do not recommend tres air at all unless you are wanting to waste your time !!

We chose Nautical Solutions for the Accelerated SPH certification…read more Capt. Jaimie Bartlett was our instructor, she is also the owner of Nautical Solutions. Jaimie has over 20+ years of boating experience, no need to say that she is extremely experienced and knowledgeable on the topic :-) On top of being a leader in the boating space, Jaimie is extremely nice, fun, and pedagogic. My partner and I had absolutely no experience in boating, Jammie was super good at making concepts easy to understand for us. The practice part was done from Treasure Island. Jaimie had arranged the chartering of a boat. It looked brand new and everything was perfectly prepared, we just had to take off. Jaimie was an excellent teacher, she made us feel safe and confident. We spent several hours in the water and we had a blast. Pricing-wise, Nautical Solutions was definitely on the cheaper end of the spectrum. Boating tends to be super expensive, and we were looking for something affordable. The service that was received was super high quality and I feel like this was very well spent $ :-) I highly recommend Nautical Solutions!

The weekend certification training with Jaimie was terrific. She was a patient, knowledgeable,…read morearticulate, and experienced instructor and sailor/boatswoman. I am new to power boating and had quite a lot of anxiety about it. She was understanding and patient with me while also encouraging me to dive into the written materials and my experience on the water. She gave me many practical tips about purchasing a boat also, tips I doubt I would have gotten from someone else. I was really impressed by Jaimie's knowledge of boats and her experience really informs her approach in the classroom and on the water. I also appreciated that she is a woman and would be a great role model for younger women. Power boating is a complex endeavor and I highly recommend that everyone who hasn't taken a class, enroll with Jaimie. The course is rigorous and she really puts you through the paces, but that is the whole point. I look forward to taking some private lessons with Jaimie in the near future so that I can hone my fledgling skills. We had one of those beautiful February weekends where it was shirtsleeve weather and it was gorgeous out on the water. The sense of freedom and enjoyment behind the wheel of the boat was sublime, and I am so glad I took the course. Thank you, Jaimie!

California Diving Academy offers an amazing diving program with professional coaching and a clear,…read morewell-run structure. My daughter started at age 9, and under Coach Eric's guidance, she has quickly improved in both diving and life skills like confidence, focus, and teamwork. CDA stands out because it combines high-level training with strong character development. Younger kids learn from older teammates in a positive, respectful environment. The whole community is supportive, and the kids truly thrive. Coach Eric is very experienced and always gives clear, personalized feedback. He's great at explaining things to both kids and parents. Whether it's in the water or Dryland, he's always focused and encouraging. The facility is fully equipped, and the flexible schedule is a big plus for families. If your child wants to compete at a high level, or just enjoy diving in a caring place, CDA is the best in the Bay Area. Highly recommend!

My 16 year old daughter started diving at California Diving Academy this past summer and it has…read morebeen an outstanding experience. She was an avid gymnast for the past ten years. On vacation last summer, her aunt (a former D1 diver) showed her some dives and suggested she just "try" diving. They looked online, found Cal Diving Academy, and sent an e-mail. Coach Eric called my daughter that afternoon to tell her about the program and suggested she come in the following week just to try it out. My daughter did not intend to switch sports then and there, but she loved diving and everything about Cal Diving Academy. From day one, the coaches and the other divers have been welcoming, friendly, and inclusive. The coaching has been incredible. Her diving is beautiful and she has learned so much. More importantly, the coaches show incredible kindness, compassion, and are very attentive to the whole athlete. Guiding them gently through fears and getting to know them as people. I am so grateful that my daughter found coach Eric and Cal Diving Academy. She is a happier person having found this new home away from home.
