Phoenix Scuba is the spot where I chose to begin my diving adventures just a few months ago…read more It started when I gave the shop a phone call to ask about an introduction to scuba course. Kelly and I chatted for almost an hour getting excited about it. She answered all my questions and I could quickly tell the love she has for this sport. Fast forward to this review and these folks have made proper divers out of my group of four. From our first open water course, to a plethora of specialty courses (even wreck diving!) there's something for everyone. Once you learn, you're part of the family, and it's a good family to be a part of. Special shout out to Marte, Dan, and Robert as well for being fantastic instructors. Cheers to this great group of people.

We are new to the Scuba World and had recently got our certification and went for a refresher. Luigi patiently worked with us on our buoyancy and feeling comfortable at 60 feet underwater. At the shop, the employees talked me out of purchasing certain items. This showed me the integrity of this company by having me not purchase items I did not need. I highly recommend Cyborg Pirate and we will be diving with them in the future. -James L.

Top-notch. That's how to describe my entire experience with Cyborg Pirate…read more Their customer service impressed me from start to finish. When I stopped by the shop on a Friday to rent a regulator, the employees immediately greeted me and engaged me in conversation; they made me feel at home. Then on Sunday, I boarded the Diver Down and received the same warm welcome and friendly treatment from the boat's entire crew. The shop's boat, the Diver Down, likewise impressed me. It's a clean, well-maintained, and well-organized pontoon boat, with ample under-bench storage and walkways. I quite also like the lack of scuppers along the bench's underside; it's a small detail, but I knew that if my stuff got loose, it couldn't slide into the drink. Plus, the Diver Down features a well-organized and well-stocked supply of weights, as well as complimentary water and soft drinks. It's a nice ride. Similarly, the regulator I rented from Cyborg Pirate showed me that they're a serious shop. It was in excellent condition, with a DIN connection and a well-considered mix of rubber and braided hoses. Clearly, these folks are serious divers and aim to serve people of the same mindset. And, of course, the dives themselves were excellent. We anchored off an underwater hill that started at 35' and descended to well over 100', where my insta-buddy -- the boat's normal captain, who was fun-diving for the day -- led me on a deep dive into the 40'+ viz area at depth. Then, for the second dive, one of the divemasters arranged a friendly search-and-recovery competition. I didn't win, but I still had a great time. All told, my experience with Cyborg Pirate deeply impressed me. I recommend this shop, and I'll definitely go back again.

The No Limits staff were nothing but helpful and informative throughout the booking day before_of process. I was able to sign up for a beginner class in the pool for just $35, which was amazing and so worth it. Unfortunately I entered in the incorrect address for the pool and ended up arriving almost 15 minutes late. The instructor told me that it was just me in the course and so I could reach out to the office to reschedule. I told him this was no problem and then I asked if I could still swim? He told me that I could and I am so glad that I waited as one of the instructors, Chris, was available to help me. He gave me a one on one class on how to put on my gear and scuba dive. Scuba diving is not pretty as you got stuff coming out of your nose and mouth, but it is pretty and calming when you are underwater breathing and the rest of the world seems so far away. I loved every minute of this experience especially once I got used to breathing through my mouth and holding my nose to let my ears pop. I swam in seven feet plus, which was difficult at times, so I love that Chris was happy to have me swim in the shallower 4 feet. Chris waa super kind, patient, and fun; I really appreciate his time!! I definitely want to get certified as I want to do this more and more. Most likely due to time and funds it wont be until the fall, but I will be back! Thank you!

What I…read morethought would be a quick in and out, turned into a two hour adventure of conversation and a tour of the facility. My husband and I returned later on that day to drop off gear for servicing and we were greeted with open arms (I just met these people!!) and were even invited to stay a while after closing to observe a Nitrox class and encouraged to ask questions. They will not sell you equipment you don't need. Seriously, I had a conversation with Michelle on Saturday saying I want this computer. She said no, like hard no and here's why. Get this one, it's all the computer you need. And substantially less expensive. The dive masters are the best. As far as I know, they're all Veterans. They treat you with dignity even when you ask a foolish question. They take their craft very seriously and want everyone to enjoy this wonderful adventure. I have been to several dive shops in town. Some are very businesslike, some are very clique-y... This one is a family. Plus, sometimes there's dogs!!

The knowledge and passion for the sport is quite apparent in their mannerisms. As for the instruction, both Ryan and Josh nailed it. I have been a high school PE teacher and football coach for 37 years and I can comfortably acknowledge that the two of them are accomplished "teachers" of their craft. The way they break down the individual skills, explain them, demonstrate them and then guide you through them makes the skills easy to perform. Anyways, appreciate you guys and the entire team at Salt & Sea, what a great experience! I look forward to being part of their community/family. Greg
