One of the trips was the best fluke fishing I have ever been involved in, with both big fish and a large number of fish being caught. Capt. Mike made good use of his knowledge of the fishing grounds and his array of electronics to put us on the fish time after time. On one of the trips I was fishing with two young cousins and Capt Mike and the mate were very patient with the boys, showing them how to fish and making it a great day for all. I highly recommend a fishing trip with the pros on The Codfather.

I just completed my Open Water course at Pan Aqua, and can't recommend it enough.

Even from the first moments in the shop, they spent extra time helping us pick out equipment--not just giving us the bargain basement rentals, but fitting us with the best masks. Sean and his team made the pool dives and required skill learning fun, easy, and informative. As soon as we walked in the door, we were treated like regulars, and old friends. I'll be returning to Pan Aqua to start buying my dive gear, and if you're looking to get started, you should absolutely make Pan Aqua your home shop. They're so passionate, flexible, and excited to share their love of diving, and it made me even happier that I decided to start.

I have been a client of PanAqua for over twenty years--they trained me, they've helped me with…read morediving questions and issues, and they have supplied me with all of my equipment. Diving can be a dangerous sport if the equipment you rent at a resort hasn't been properly serviced, I have always preferred to own my equipment personally as a long-term investment. Nearly every dollar I spent over 20 years ago, all of the equipment is in top shape and will last decades more. I have traveled on their trips from South Africa to Polynesia and beyond. Some reviewers say to consider Amazon or scuba websites, but when you're down 100 feet underwater, nobody cares how much you saved by going online. If your equipment fails, it's kablooey and you're dead. The instructors and owners are fantastic, and nobody can consult you better on equipment than Lorraine. She analyzes every option before suggesting a good match for you. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Staff members were super friendly with a love of the game, and were so helpful in giving me the right metrics by which to evaluate fit for my gear. Left with what I needed and will be back soon for a set of fins no doubt. Prices match those online so definitely strong value in coming in-person to try on difficult to fit gear like masks and fins. They also do courses and dive charters here, which I'd love to take advantage of soon.

Unfortunately, I hadn't been diving in 30 years! I called the folks at Scuba Network and everyone I engaged with was extremely accommodating. They helped me sign up for an eLearning refresher course and encouraged me to grab the last spot in an upcoming beginner's, in-person, 2-day pool dive to reacquaint myself with the gear and familiarize myself with some new technology since I last dove (goodbye dive tables, hello dive computers!). They equipped me with all the regular gear and even helped me pick out a scuba mask with reading bifocals when I told them after the first day that I couldn't read my gauges. (Yes, bifocal masks are a thing!) Ryan Hoffman, my dive instructor, was fantastic. He was patient, easy-to-understand, thorough, and kept things moving well. He also didn't miss a thing. If someone seemed nervous during an underwater exercise, he was right there to put them at ease and help them master it. If someone didn't clear their mask of water fully, he had them try again until they crushed it. At every step he was enabling us to know how to do for ourselves because in Scuba, though it's a buddy sport, you don't want to leave the details to anyone else -- you're safest when you are self-sufficient. Within days, I felt as confident about scuba diving as I did 30 years ago when I got certified -- no, actually, I felt more confident! I can't wait to get back in the open water now, and I'm even considering getting my kids to take up this past time so we can go as a family. If so, I'll take them to Scuba Network to learn!

The pup was antsy and wanting to run around and we are in an apartment and don't really have a backyard, so we came here. There are two separate areas for small and large dogs. Both areas are fenced in and on the smallish side. When we arrived, there was a large pit bull in the small area. The large dog area had a huge mud pit in it, so I guess they were trying to avoid that area. The dog/owner was friendly, but they were leaving as we were entering. We only stayed maybe 15 minutes until the wind was too much. We'd come back, but the area, although clean, is smaller than some other dog parks like the one in Massapequa and in Blydenburgh. But it's conveniently located, so I am sure that we will be back. Note - no children under the age of 12 are allowed in the off-leash areas. Woof!

By far the very best attributes to this facility are both the convenience of parking and the ultra…read morelow cost of participation. On a cold Sunday afternoon, my daughter was pleading with me take her ice skating and the only other option was outside on a windy day so we opted to come here. Checkin was a breeze. Town of Oyster Bay residents get a healthy break but even though we live in Huntington, it was a super low price to skate for three hours for $14- that's including the skate rentals. So a super slam dunk for this low cost activity to burn some calories and pent up energy. The staff was friendly and we were up and running in no time at all. There were two windows open for payment and about 4 people behind to get your skates. Leave one of your shoes and they give you a pair in your size. The rink was divided into a trio of areas. The center was used for those who figure skate. And one side was coned off for additional practice. The rest was set up for those who do the traditional counter clockwise circular skating we all are accustomed to. At about half-time, the Zamboni came out to refinish the ice and made for a clean, smooth ride. There are guards there for safety but as far as I could see, were really unnecessary. Bleachers are set up for those who don't want to break their butts (like me) and can cheer on their team or little one while they skate. There is a pro shop inside to buy whatever you might need. For a low cost event, this really was a no- brainer.

The owner and staff are all great people. When we were first interested in the camp they were easy to accommodate us for a tour and meeting. My son instantly wanted to join this camp after the first 5 minutes. While my son spends many days doing trips, the actual camp itself is very impressive. Tucked away at the end of a residential street is a massive sprawling day camp that feels like you're miles away from everything even though you're actually just a few minutes drive away from 110. They have a ton of facilities to offer the campers. Multiple pools, go cart track, zip lines, all the sports you could want, a pond w paddle boats, archery, art & crafts and even a circus performance class! Every day is a party at KENWAL - when you drop off your kids in the morning they have party music blasting away and the super friendly staff are all out in the lot to greet the kids and keep the traffic flowing. You know you're kids are in for a fun day every day! The office staff is flexible with payments, offer different payment options, discounts for early pay and they are just great to work with. We've used other camps on the island and we wish we found Kenwal years ago. Prices are reasonable compared to other camps and they offer a lot more services in my opinion and don't seem to have the staffing issues we've seen elsewhere.
