This greenway connects Nicollet Mall with Loring Park. It was opened in 1979 and was designed by M…read more Paul Friedberg, who also designed nearby Peavey Plaza. The Plaza is maintained by the city's Public Works Department and the nonprofit Loring Greenway Association. It is popular with dog owners from the surrounding neighborhood and joggers. It spans about 1,500 linear feet and is like a mini park. You will find bike racks, tables, and chairs, and a picnic table shelter sprinkled along the Greenway. There is also a small playground just off of it. It is a new playground that was installed last year and is very nice. The park features two fountains, one at the Nicollet Mall entrance and one halfway along the greenway. However, the fountains were not operating during my visit. The greenway is very well-maintained. The Greenway is known for its gardens. The Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District has awarded the Greenway a Greening & Public Realm Award for its gardens 13 times, most recently in 2024 in teh Large Greenspace catagory. The Greenway is scheduled to undergo major improvements in 2028, including making it ADA-compliant and making it easier and safer for people of all ages and abilities to ride their bikes. This is not only a nice transit path, but a decent place to hang out for a bit and relax.

He was very patient with the 5 of us in his group. Two individuals had a hard time equalizing and he took his time with them till they were able to descend the required depth. He was very knowledgeable and gave advice in gear options. I enjoyed the in water experience and look forward to my future dives.

Update: Spoke with the owner and another instructor. They were very apologetic and want to make it right.

Instructor was impatient, rude, not thorough, and belittled members of our group. Worst experience ever and honestly ruined scuba diving for me and my daughter. Run.

The workers were a wonderful help, a women spent 2 hours helping up decide which snorkel, mask, fins and boots would be the best fit for us.

Highly recommend shopping for gear weeks/month before your dive training in case you need to order gear in different size/color.

I started the basic Open Water diving class through Aquaventure this year after deciding to learn…read morescuba diving largely on a whim; It seemed like it would be a pretty fun skill to pick up for tropical/beach vacations. I did not have a very strong aquatic background going into the class, but after a little initial inertia I think I was able to do alright picking up all the basic skills in the class, and I really did feel like a lot of it started to sink in pretty quickly. The instructor I had as well as the assistant instructors were all friendly/knowledgeable/helpful. I got the sense that they all took my learning as well as the other students learning very seriously, and just in general felt like I was in pretty good hands the whole time. When I made mistakes (I made a lot of mine towards the beginning), they helped a lot with correcting them quickly. Prior to that, the person I had in the gear shop to select my mask/fins/snorkel was also helpful getting me to try out and find the right fit for everything. I guess my biggest critique would be that for Part 1 it feels a bit like the 'fire hose' method of learning in that you cram learning and demonstrating many skills into less than a 24 hour period, which doesn't give you much time to let 'feeling it out' sink in. It's also pretty tiring. Of course, it's also pretty convenient in terms of schedule to get all of that done in a single weekend, and stretching the course out would just add cost to the end-user I'm sure, so it's probably a conscious tradeoff. My second biggest critique is the only option for lunch on the Saturday class is Subway (blech), unless you bring your own of course. I have not done my checkout dives (Part 2) yet, will do that in Spring 2020 at Square Lake and may post updates on how that goes. Some advice/suggestions for others who feel ok, but not ultra-confident in the water and may want to take a course like this: -They really will make you swim 200 yards and tread for 10 minutes during part 1 of the class (in the pool), so make sure you can do this first. This makes sense, as it's hard to imagine being very comfortable with diving if you can't swim at least a little. Since I generally don't ever get to swim outside of family vacations and when I was forced to in grades 1-6 of grade school, I bought some temporary passes to a local gym with a pool to practice this a few times in the weeks leading up to the class. A few sessions of practicing treading and basic strokes and I was more or less good to go! -When you get the elearning class, All the actual dive skills you'll do in the pool are at the slides at the very end of each module. I'd suggest reviewing those slides in particular right before the pool class and studying them intently to rehearse how you'll do the skills before you do them. If you're like me you would make fewer mistakes if you do this. The dives 1-5 they do in the pool do stick to the skills outlined in the elearning modules 1-5 pretty closely, so you can know what to expect basically in order by reviewing these. -They really will make you do stuff like 'sip' the air bubbles from a free-flowing regulator underwater to simulate a broken one, so get ready to feel like Sonic the Hedgehog in one of the aquatic levels. I never would've guessed that this would actually work in real life before I took this class XD
