We had two classroom sessions and an exam before our first dive in De Leon Springs. Squeezed into constricting wetsuits with weight belts strapped around our waists, on an unusually cold Thursday in January with low visibility in the springs, led to a highly anxious moment for Emille during the swim test. Mike scheduled the repeat dive the next Monday at a heated YMCA pool with excellent visibility and Emille passed like a pro. She swam 12 laps without pausing and we treaded water for 10 minutes like fish. After this redo, Mike joked that Emille was a "plant" that was sent there to test him. We returned to De Leon Springs with newfound confidence, and completed two dives on Tuesday, and three on Wednesday, satisfying our Open Water Scuba Certification. Our last dive was a bonus photography dive, and our first underwater Subway Handle photo session. Mike, now called "Scuba Dad" by Emille, even convinced a turtle to pose with the handle.   To celebrate our certifications, we had all-you-can-eat pancakes at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill Pancake House. We highly recommend Mike Campbell and the entire staff of Castaway Scuba to anyone in the greater Orlando area. Our schedules are chaotic, but they accommodated us seamlessly. They ordered and installed prescription lenses for my mask, and they have everything under the water.

Highly recommend the 6am tour as you get viewing time before it gets really busy. I really appreciate Birds Underwater as they do a great job educating you about the manatees and how to passively observe.

I was searching for a scuba shop near me and I found this one. I wanted to get classes so I could…read moreget scuba certified. I order the class when I go in and they told me I will receive an email talking about doing the online classes and the dates and where I'm supposed to be for my classes. I called back multiple times asking about the email because I never got it. Then it's 3 days before the class I finally get an email but it's an email about the class getting canceled without any reason. I am a college student going to FAU so this was the only weekend I could do it and so I call them asking for a refund since they canceled on me and he says if you come in we can talk about a refund. I go into the shop and his daughter is working and she doesn't know how to do the refunds so she calls the owner which he doesn't pick up she put down my number and said I would get a call back later that day I never did. So I call back the next day and they told me to come in again I go in and all of a sudden the machine does not want to give me a refund it stopped working. So I had to chargeback on my credit card because he said I would get a refund the next day when the system is working I never got it so I charged back. This place is a scam I do not recommend it.

It was on our bucket list of things to do and I totally am amazed by the experience. It wouldn't have been the same without the captain in the photographer. It was just the perfect day.

The Mangroves were a sight to be seen. I can just imagine all the sea creature they give habitat to. We also seen some amazing boats, as well as, some interesting... uh... placement of sailboats.
