From your first Open Water course up to various advanced technical courses Sandra is a phenomenal…read moreinstructor. With every course there is close attention to detail, video review and feedback, and very small class sizes (typically 1 or 2 students) which ensures that each student gets plenty of individualized feedback. Each course is taught with the end goal of safety and competency in the water, not just to go through the motions to hit each skill requirement. Sandra teaches property buoyancy and trim from day one. Her methodology is to train future tec divers, and making good habits from the start is easier than breaking bad habits later on. Even if you have no intention of going tec, the extra skill will make you safer and more in control in the water, which is good for your buddies, visibility, and fragile marine life. I've taken many classes with Sandra, starting from open water and going all the way to Cavern, and cannot recommend her enough.

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.

Can't wait to do this again! We truly had a blast! Thanks so much!

This review is exclusively about the Fitness Center (the building with the indoor exercise…read moreequipment) at Holmes Sr. Recreation Center. The Fitness Center is in a separate building from the rest of the main facility and its opening hours are different from the rest of the facility. The hours are rather odd but may be due to the lack of staffing though I'm not sure about that. In terms of the equipment, the Fitness Center has two treadmills, a few indoor bikes, a rowing machine, and a StairMaster StepMill (ones in which actual stairs revolve like an escalator). There are no elliptical machines. There are are a number of weight machines, and dumb bells. The equipment overall looks to be adequate for someone who is interested to do some strength/weight training and cardio. The staff tells me that the Fitness Center does not see much activity. The few times we've been, we were the only people there. The major negative about the Center really are the hours. It is open everyday except Sunday, but on the days they are open, there are hours in the middle of the day when the Center is not open. This punctuated schedule can make arranging one's exercise schedule a bit off.

This pool is one of Durham's hidden gems! It's quiet, clean, & well-maintained and the facility was…read morerecently renovated. My husband and I swim here once or twice a week all fall and winter, and it's great. Best of all, it's rarely crowded or noisy so I can have a lane to myself and meditate or vegetate happily as I do my laps. The location is not super-convenient for me, but I don't mind going a bit out of my way for the pleasure of a good swim. It can be a little hard to find if you're not familiar with that neighborhood, but it's very much worth it.

I highly recommend this offering of Bond Park! Park at the senior center and walk 5 mins to it.

There are four things I want to say about Air Hogs Scuba and its owner, Thomas…read more First, if you're the too long; didn't read type, I HIGHLY recommend Air Hogs Scuba for your needs. In Raleigh? Durham? Drive the extra distance. It's worth it. Second, Thomas and Co undoubtedly know their craft. There are experts, and then there are THE experts. I don't have the largest sample size, but of the shops I've visited in NC and FL, Air Hogs Scuba has THE experts in the field. There is not a question I have asked that has not just been answered but answered in-depth with explanations and reasons why. Third, Thomas has been imparted with Forbidden Knowledge only granted by the Goddess of the Deep after your 1,000th dive about regulator service. I brought my regs in for service, fully ready to get a new pair because they kept leaking at the end of a season. Thomas discouraged me from getting new ones, instead explaining why they did that, what I could do to fix it on the fly, and what he could do to tune my regs to be the best they've been. I just finished using them on eight dives of various depths after service, and not only do they not leak or have any issues; they breathe better than any set I've ever used. The only restriction I had breathing was tweaking the flow setting to try to optimize my breathing effort. The work blew me away. And they work on Hog gear, which many shops won't touch. Finally, I want to say Thomas and those at Air Hogs are genuinely lovely people looking out for the diver and not their bottom line. They went out of their way to ensure I got my regs back in time for a dive. I went in to talk about getting a new BC setup, and Thomas encouraged me to dive a new setup first before spending money on it and even offered customizations if I did decide to go with the new setup (plate & wing). I got the impression I would have to convince HIM to sell me one without trying it first! That's just good customer service and good (diver) community service, in my opinion. Again, I HIGHLY recommend Air Hogs Scuba. They are knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers and craft.
