This shop is awesome! Very nice and helpful staff. I had instructors Bryan and Dennis for my…read moreconfined water dives and they were both extremely kind, patient and encouraging. I had Instructor Roy Vernon for my open water dives and I cannot recommend him more! He was excited to be there, very patient with his students and concerned for our safety above all else. He was encouraging and fun to be with. I had a great time getting my open-water certification! - Eli

Excellent customer service and great place to rent scuba equipment! The friendly employees first…read moreanswered my questions over the phone when I had called to reserve rental scuba equipment. They don't allow reservations, but since they did not have any classes scheduled the weekend I inquired about, they assured they would have adequate supplies and they did! When we arrived to rent the equipment, the employees greeted us right away. They patiently answered our questions and helped us select the right items since it was our first time renting. They clearly explained the cost and tried to save us money rather than talking us into spending more. In addition to rental equipment they sell scuba gear, hold classes, and host events and trips. They have a heated pool on-site and offer private and semi-private classes. Their training agency is SSI (Scuba Schools International). Overall, we had a great experience here and would rent from here again!

My daughter and I had a trip planned that included scuba diving so we went to Gypsy Divers to get…read morecertified. I was never able to get open water certification because of the pressure on my ears but Mike Welch was incredibly patient and others in the shop had numerous suggestions for me to try. Ultimately I gave up after numerous attempts and got a full refund of the entire tuition even though I had completed the lessons, used their equipment to try and get the outdoor signoff completed, and taken a lot of their time. I would highly recommend the shop if you are wanting to try getting certified and you don't have to worry about losing the large sum of money if you don't make it. I feel like I'm also very comfortable with all of the skills needed but am just held back by my ears! thank you Mike and Gypsy.

From the first phone call with Gregg Scofield I knew I was in good hands. 1989 Ranger 363v with a…read moreJohnson GT150 motor. Gregg went thru my motor repairing everything that needed to be repaired. He also did great work on a few items on the boat. After all of the repairs, he was able to take the boat out for a test run at Falls Lake. This is a Great feature. When I came in to pick up my boat Gregg went thru all of the repairs showing me each. This is the best place for boat and motor repairs. Ask for Gregg Scofield. Mike Johnson Raleigh, NC

Thanks Dave for your response to the regulator issue. The issue was resolved with one phone call…read more Dave went above and beyond to fix the issue. Thanks again.

The owner of this shop, Dave Farrar, contacted me by email a few weeks later. He apologized for the…read morepoor service I received and offered to provide me with a new regulator free of charge. Between the time I picked up my disassembled gear and the owner contacting me, I had purchased a new regulator to replace the ones that were no longer usable. The owner again apologized and offered to pay part of the purchase price of the new gear. Today I received a check for 1/2 of the amount that he agreed to provide to me. I was very shocked and very pleased. I have never been shown this level of service by a business owner. I think Dave Farrar has shown an unusually high level of honesty and integrity and I will once again return to his store as a customer. Thank you Dave, you are a great dive buddy!

Went with my boyfriends family and had an amazing time. Lots of different chairs and tables to…read morechoose from. I lounged and read a book in the shade and sun and ate a sandwich at a proper table. Two different diving board and a basketball goal on the edge of the pool provides fun for kids of all ages. Including a roped offer shallow section for the little ones. There is a snack hut and multiple life guards on duty. There are breaks from the kids with an adult only pool time every 45 minutes or hour. (Not 100% sure). They also host swim meets for all different ages over the summer! The only down side I saw is I think their public water filter needed replaced and the bathrooms can always be touched up but I feel most public pools have that issue with so many kids and people running around.
