I went on a Discover Scuba Diving course today and the experience was amazing. Even though this…read morewasn't a certification course I still got a taste of what scuba diving was like, and if I want to pursue a certification in the future the experience does count for some credits. We arrived at the My Dive Center to get an overview of what scuba diving is like and we went through some terminologies and safety precautions before we got fitted for our gears. The Diving Masters there are all PADI certified. Our instructor/Diving Master Theo was really knowledgeable and was super friendly, and I totally appreciate his effort in accommodating our big group of 10 to get us fitted for our equipment. After the lecture we went to the swimming pool at a local high school. The diving equipment that we received today included the diving mask, buoyancy controlled diving vest, oxygen tank, and the fins to wear on the feet. At the pool we were split into small groups 4 to 5 to get a more personal lesson with another instructor. My instructor Matt went through with us how to put on the equipment and guided us through the basic diving skills before letting us get a taste of the scuba diving experience. Even though I somewhat struggled at the fog-clearing exercise, Matt was really helpful and patient with me at guiding me through the process. In total we spent around 3 hours in the water and I totally enjoyed every second of it. I highly recommend everyone to give Discover Scuba Diving a try, especially if you're thinking of getting certified.

What an amazing experience and an absolutely amazing team!…read more My husband and I wanted to get our Scuba Diving certification, as we were leaving for vacation to Mexico and wanted to go diving there. We decided to do the Referral Program, which is basically the theory + confined water dives with 1 Scuba Outfit, and the final open water dives can be completed anywhere in the world, where there is a PADI shop. After much research, and talking to few shops around Toronto, we decided to go with Yoon Chin at My Dive Center. And we are SO GLAD that we did. Initially we were a bit cautious, and their rates were a bit cheaper than some of the other shops we had spoken to, for the same course, and we didn't want the quality of the training compromised due to lesser price being offered, but after speaking to Yoon, I felt super comfortable. Yoon is such am amazing person, and a wonderful instructor. He went out of way to accommodate us (we were working on a very tight schedule), and he made sure that we got all the theoretical training we needed before going into the pool. In the pool, we were trained by instructors Marty and Pat. The pool they rent is not at the shop of the dive center, it's a separate community center and they just rent the facility. And it's a great space for the pool classes. Marty and Pat were both absolutely amazing (and lots of fun be around!!). They made everyone feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. It was a bit scary initially (especially for me, I had just learned to swim as an adult a year or two ago) but it was honestly so much fun! I honestly couldn't recommend them more. So much so that we even considered doing the full course with these guys (the open water dives, in lake Ontario) but we just didn't have the time otherwise we would have done so. Yoon and his team are extremely passionate about diving, very serious about safety and a lot of fun!!

Find a scuba shop that will have your best interest at heart instead of the bottom line. I went in on Dec 22/2017 and talked with Jody about a regulator and octopus. He did not have the one he recommended for me in stock so told me he will order it. At no time did he ask for a deposit or money but I decided i would pay there because it would be my mom picking it up. On Dec 26/2017 I called to Jody and asked if I could cancel the order as I had found out it did not have lifetime repair parts like others that were just as good if not better. I told Jody I would pay the restocking fee as i am a business owner and understand this is charged to me if I return items and I would purchase the camera in its place so he would not have to refund my money. He told me NO YOU ORDERED IT, YOU PAID FOR IT AND I DONT DO RETURNS, EXCHANGES OR REFUNDS AND THE DISTRIBUTOR DOES NOT TAKE THEM BACK. Hmm now this I found hard to believe. I called to the distributor called Shark Bite and got a very helpful man who told me indeed they do do returns and he would talk to Jody. Nope Jody was just plain UNREASONABLE. I went in to pick up this paid for equipment after 3 weeks of going back and forth and Jody was talking to me as if I wanted to listen to his small talk and play nice.

There is a lack of safety concerning some of their diving practices. Like this past summer taking a group of divers on two back to back 100 + foot dives, which ended in one of his divers being taken away to the hyperbaric chamber. He has middle of the road equipment that is often over priced. Which is why so many of his students choose to buy much of their gear online instead of through him. Though the real killer of Tim's Diving Supplies in the elitist dive group that has grown up around Tim's. If you are not an insider you are treated poorly and even made fun of on dives. Over all I think most people would be better off travelling a little farther to go to another shop.
