Bula! Thank you ScubaX travel and Scuba schools of America…read more Our dive trip to Fiji was absolutely outstanding. The diving exceeded expectations with warm, clear water, vibrant soft corals, and an abundance of marine life at every site. From colorful reef fish and turtles to sharks cruising by, every dive felt alive and unforgettable. The dive operators were professional, safety-focused, and genuinely welcoming. Briefings were thorough, groups were well managed, and the guides clearly knew the reefs intimately. Their passion for the ocean and respect for the environment really stood out. Above the water, Fiji was just as special. The warmth and kindness of the Fijian people made the trip even more memorable, and the relaxed island atmosphere was the perfect complement to full days of diving.

I had a terrible experience with Rusty Berry and Scuba Schools of America. I reached out to the…read morestore to take a refresher scuba course, because I got my SSI Open Water certification during a Fiji trip. Rusty not only talked me into retaking the Open Water course, but also two boat trips. The total of which was $905.00. I regretted my purchase and wrote to him the next day, asking for a refund. The stated refund policy on their website is that trips can be refunded if canceled 30 days before the start of travel. Two weeks later, I still haven't received the refund. Against my better judgment, I visited the store for my first class and was talked into buying $5,710 worth of overpriced scuba equipment, before we even entered the pool. I left the store never even getting the $4,638 scuba system I was charged for. I have open disputes with my credit card company to get my money refunded. I have also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I found online that Rusty Berry and Scuba Schools of America have a bad reputation in the scuba diving community, for disingenuous sales tactics, inflated prices, and questionable refund policies. Visit scubaboard.com and search for Scuba Schools of America. There's a whole thread about them and the negative experience others have had with them. Avoid this store and its owner.

They are always friendly, always willing to take the time to help me with any of my gear. I recently was certified as a tec diver with them and it was an amazing experience. They always get me anything I need/want! They have super staff and they are all very knowledgeable. I have been going to them for years and I can't say enough good things about them. I have all my gear serviced here and it is always quick and done right. In short I definitely will not go anywhere else! If you need anything scuba related, or if you are looking to get into the hobby Signature is the best place to do it!

With signature Scuba to Catalina Island on the boat CeeRay?." Yep I would love to. Let me call my friend and see if she wants to go. Service: Every time I called the shop, Glenn answered. I must have asked a million questions. I am such a procrastinator. I signed up late. I called and I asks, I need two spaces and there's only one left. He calls a few people makes some sort of arrangements. Bam calls me back and I have two spots on this boat for July 18 and 19th. Book it Gleno!!!!!!! He answered the phone each time with efficiency professionalism and accuracy in just a few words. Love this guy. We get on the Cee Ray (the boat) set up our gear, get the details, briefing and our bunks. Everyone on the Cee Ray was very friendly and welcoming. We were strangers amongst many local friends. We were welcomed and definitely not left out of the laughs and good stories. The travel stories were all wonderful to hear. We dove on Saturday. The briefings about each dive site were informative and exactly what was told. The Dive Masters all of them (Mikee, Casey, and a few more) were helpful without gear, air fills, and efficiency was the name of the game for this scuba shop. Breakfast lunch snacks were all very tasty and full of flavor. We appreciated the service and the cleanliness of the Cee Ray and the folks running the boat were amazing as well. My friend and I felt welcomed, and it is always nice to dive with such an outstanding Dive shop. We were offered to continue on with Women's Dive Weekend with crafting the following day. Jennifer took us around the shop and I decided to get air fills and get a new compass. Glenn my new friend sold me a new one and installed it. Great service for sure. Wonderful experience to say the least. The value of how much I paid and the service. The price was right now sure. Best value.

Best Travel Experience Ever!…read more My recent trip to Fiji was absolutely incredible, thanks to SXT and Nikki Berry, who went above and beyond my expectations. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The diving was truly breathtaking--crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and unforgettable underwater scenery. Beyond diving, the variety of activities offered kept every day exciting and fun. Fiji itself is stunning, and the people are some of the most warm and welcoming I've ever met. This was, without a doubt, the best travel experience I've ever had. I highly recommend SXT and Nikki Berry for anyone looking for a seamless, unforgettable adventure

Craig, the owner, made everything feel easy and personal from the start. Signing up for classes, scheduling, getting certified... all seamless. No pressure, no ego, just genuine passion for diving and people. Craig even moved class dates around to accommodate our schedules. Who does that? That level of care meant everything to us. The entire team was incredible. Supportive, patient, knowledgeable, and just good humans. We didn't just learn how to dive...we built confidence, memories, and friendships that will last a lifetime. We'll absolutely be continuing our certifications here and buying our gear here. No question. We thought we were signing up for scuba classes. What we found was a dive family.
