If you're interested in learning how to dive, definitely check out Dip-N-Dive. They offer multiple certification sessions. Some of them are once a week and other more fast track programs are twice a week (evenings) and generally only take ~8 classes or so. The equipment here is priced really high and if you are going to sign up for their diving class, they will ask you to have your own snorkel, mask and fins, weight belt, belt and boots. Those items will run close to $400, so just be aware of the additional expenses you'll incur. Dip-N-Dive offers all sorts of diving certifications and they also go on diving trips multiple times per year. If you're at all interested in scuba diving, check out Dip-N-Dive!

I went on a Discover Scuba Diving course today and the experience was amazing. Even though this…read morewasn't a certification course I still got a taste of what scuba diving was like, and if I want to pursue a certification in the future the experience does count for some credits. We arrived at the My Dive Center to get an overview of what scuba diving is like and we went through some terminologies and safety precautions before we got fitted for our gears. The Diving Masters there are all PADI certified. Our instructor/Diving Master Theo was really knowledgeable and was super friendly, and I totally appreciate his effort in accommodating our big group of 10 to get us fitted for our equipment. After the lecture we went to the swimming pool at a local high school. The diving equipment that we received today included the diving mask, buoyancy controlled diving vest, oxygen tank, and the fins to wear on the feet. At the pool we were split into small groups 4 to 5 to get a more personal lesson with another instructor. My instructor Matt went through with us how to put on the equipment and guided us through the basic diving skills before letting us get a taste of the scuba diving experience. Even though I somewhat struggled at the fog-clearing exercise, Matt was really helpful and patient with me at guiding me through the process. In total we spent around 3 hours in the water and I totally enjoyed every second of it. I highly recommend everyone to give Discover Scuba Diving a try, especially if you're thinking of getting certified.

What an amazing experience and an absolutely amazing team!…read more My husband and I wanted to get our Scuba Diving certification, as we were leaving for vacation to Mexico and wanted to go diving there. We decided to do the Referral Program, which is basically the theory + confined water dives with 1 Scuba Outfit, and the final open water dives can be completed anywhere in the world, where there is a PADI shop. After much research, and talking to few shops around Toronto, we decided to go with Yoon Chin at My Dive Center. And we are SO GLAD that we did. Initially we were a bit cautious, and their rates were a bit cheaper than some of the other shops we had spoken to, for the same course, and we didn't want the quality of the training compromised due to lesser price being offered, but after speaking to Yoon, I felt super comfortable. Yoon is such am amazing person, and a wonderful instructor. He went out of way to accommodate us (we were working on a very tight schedule), and he made sure that we got all the theoretical training we needed before going into the pool. In the pool, we were trained by instructors Marty and Pat. The pool they rent is not at the shop of the dive center, it's a separate community center and they just rent the facility. And it's a great space for the pool classes. Marty and Pat were both absolutely amazing (and lots of fun be around!!). They made everyone feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. It was a bit scary initially (especially for me, I had just learned to swim as an adult a year or two ago) but it was honestly so much fun! I honestly couldn't recommend them more. So much so that we even considered doing the full course with these guys (the open water dives, in lake Ontario) but we just didn't have the time otherwise we would have done so. Yoon and his team are extremely passionate about diving, very serious about safety and a lot of fun!!

Similar to most dive shops the owner (Darryl, thankfully to sell shop and retiring soon),…read moremistakenly works under the premise he is in the scuba diving business. He is NOT. He is in the customer service business which happens to be a dive shop. ZERO concept of customer service. ZERO follow through on any promises made. I have visited the shop three times since moving here in July 2025. Each time Darryl makes promises about setting up courses, scheduling this and that, "calling me within two weeks." NEVER happened. Not a single time. During one visit he told me he would call within two weeks, but "if I forget, call and remind me." WHAT? Me call to remind a business owner that he neglected to call as promised -- so I can give him my time and money? No. It does NOT work that way. Be true to your word. Have common respect and courtesy for CUSTOMERS who pay the bills -- or go ahead and retire and get out of the business. I form productive working relationships with business that actually do what they say they will do. The last thing I need is another flaky, unreliable dive shop (or dive partner)! l'll search for, and affiliate with, another dive operator and avoid wasting more of my time at Discover Diving.

It was truly an extraordinary experience, and I would highly recommend taking a scuba class or traveling with Discover Diving.

There is an additional cost for absolutely everything. After paying extra for the textbooks, and getting their open water dive 'deal', the snorkel and fin rentals for the dive were extra (although the other equipment was included- guess they didn't think snorkel was necessary equipment) and a few people had issues with the equipment in the water. We were told that the $250 we paid for the open water dives included ALL equipment, and were hit with the extra charge when we went to get fitted. I won't even go into how many issues we had booking a dive, them losing our reservation and telling us we were SOL because there was no room left that weekend, and that they were 'not able to find our paperwork'. The guys doing the open water dives were nice- every other interaction I had with them was a customer service nightmare. Not helpful, arrogant, dismissive, disorganized- just terrible. We specifically asked during the open water dive whether or not there were any more fees in order to get our PADI card- we were told there was a $25 fee if we wanted to get it the fast way, but otherwise no. I couldn't believe that we were finally getting something from them that was actually included in the price we paid. Too good to be true- we were told to just come in when we dropped off our equipment, get the application, attach a picture and mail it in. Easy peasy. Instead we were charged $75 EACH and basically told that we had to pay it or they weren't signing off and we would have wasted hundreds of dollars. DO NOT recommend. Save yourself the trouble and get certified anywhere else.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Phoenix Scuba to hopefully…read morehelp others make an informed decision. We enrolled in a scuba course with the intention of learning in a safe, professional, and supportive environment. Unfortunately, what I encountered was the opposite. Communication was poor from the start -- schedules were unclear, and I often had to follow up multiple times just to get basic information. During training, I witnessed a level of disorganization and lack of professionalism that raised real concerns about safety and adherence to industry standards. Instructors seemed overwhelmed or disinterested, and basic expectations for structure and clarity simply weren't met. I've submitted a formal complaint to SSI (Scuba Schools International), and they are currently investigating the matter under their Quality Management System. While SSI has limited authority over how individual training centers operate beyond official standards, I appreciated their willingness to take the concerns seriously. I believe scuba training is something that should be handled with the utmost professionalism and care -- and unfortunately, Phoenix Scuba did not deliver on that. There are many great dive shops out there -- I would recommend looking elsewhere.
