Doug the instructor guided and helped my 14 year old son get his open water certification after my son discovered scuba diving while we were on vacation in Cozumel and dove there for the first time. Caleb said his instruction was thorough and smooth and he enjoyed the entire process of classroom and pool dives. Doug and Dive Educators helped us complete the certification by allowing my son to do his 4 open water dives while on vacation in Aruba which was very convenient for our needs. We are excited because now my son can dive with me whenever we travel and plan on doing the scuba experience at Georgia aquarium. Much thanks to Doug and Dive Educators for helping my son achieve Open Water certification! 5 solid Stars and two thumbs up!

I was super nervous starting out, but he was patient, never rushed anything, and even took the time to show extra tips that helped a lot once I got out of the pool. It felt more like learning from a friend than a strict instructor. I did my OW and AOW dives with Howard, and he was great as well. During my OW weekend, I was still struggling a bit with buoyancy, and he didn't have to, but he even did an extra dive with me to work on PPB just so I could feel more confident. My first time in the ocean was with him too, and he always took the time to teach beyond the bare minimum. Shoutout to Stefan and James, who were also on some of my dives -- super helpful with little tips along the way. I started off nervous about diving and ended up with a new hobby and some new dive buddies. Highly recommend Dive Educators -- they genuinely care.

At the end of the day we called her a little early because we were tired and a storm was coming in, and she came right over to pick the kayaks up. This was a great experience and we will continue to do be a customer for years to come.

If you want a safe environment, do not go here. Lessons are held in a barn aisle, which is…read moredangerous on so many levels. The rider's head is three feet away from unprotected overhead fluorescent lights, legs can get caught on stall hardware... riding in barn aisles is strictly against the rules at any reputable facility for these reasons. Plus, you don't actually learn how to ride if all you do is walk/trot up and down a barn aisle. There was also no instruction on horsemanship skills included in the lessons. What's more, Valerie is stunningly rude. I was introduced to her, and when she was told about my national championship hunter/jumper experience, the first words out of her mouth to me were a curt, "I'm sorry." Let's be clear that this place specializes in saddlebred riding, which is not exactly the pinnacle of equestrian sport. Valerie only became interested in me when she found out how I make my living and saw dollar signs. This place is a hazard. This is not the equestrian experience you are looking for.
