I signed up with Scuba Frisco for my PADI certification, and my experience with Scuba Frisco was absolutely excellent. The Staff is highly experienced, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional, and the communication was great. The dive shop Staff was very friendly and the instructors were top notch. After my confined water dives and open water dives, I feel very confident about the skills I learned and looking forward to some underwater adventures in the Caribbean. The instructors were very friendly, and answered every question I had. They were always on time and well organized. If you are considering Scuba Frisco for your PADI certification, you will not be disappointed. ps...The student to instructor ratio was also great, they didn't over pack the class size. You really get the white glove treatment without having to pay for private dive lessons. read more

Thank you Scuba Frisco for help getting me the correct, comfortable equipment towards my certification!

This is by far my favorite Dive Shop in the Metroplex. They have great selection of everything that you may need and even if they don't have something they can order it right away. And the owner is the best, most polite, knowledgeable and patient man ever. It took me hours to make a decision on the best dive computers for me and for my son and he was so nice to talk to me for hours. We looked at different models, he went outside with me to show me how the different screens look in bright sunlight and I just have no words to give him enough credit. In the past I have serviced my previous dive computer and my regulator with him and he does such a good job with German precision (and he is German). Scuba Frisco is the place to go. read more

Since they were bought by International Scuba the service quality has gone down. I'll be looking somewhere else.

This shop has a professional staff that can help with all aspects of your underwater needs.

I was certified with SSI about 10 years back but have not been diving in several years. My wife wanted to get certified and I needed a refresher so I decided just to do the PADI Ipen Water certification course with her. This shop is run very professionally. The owners do not try to hard push you into buying equipment beyond the basics. They actually encourage you to take your time and try different equipment before buying so you know what you want. Beyond this, they have a local heated pool complex which is extremely nice. This makes your pool work much more relaxed and creates a great learning environment. For your check out dives, you go to a place in Terrell called Clear Springs Scuba Park. They have a great setup here with a pavilion, a dock and a platform for your skills. It isn't as glamorous as going to a clear blue ocean, but it is exceptional for training purposes. They use very good equipment that is well maintained. As far as scuba programs go, they run their shop very well. Their instructors are very thorough and comprehensive. Trust me, when it comes to diving you do not want someone just trying to pump people through. These guys are there to teach you the skills for your safety and enjoyment. They work with you until you are comfortable with the skill, not just so they can check the box. The instructors we had the opportunity to work with were Erich, Chris, Jeffrey and Dale. All top notch guys and I cannot speak highly enough about them and Scuba Frisco. read more

The process for the open water certification was extremely easy thanks to Scuba Frisco. My daughter and I had Frank Buhr as our diving instructor and Paden was his assistant. Frank is a patient and encouraging teacher who shares his love of diving with his students. We had a wonderful experience and recommend Scuba Frisco as a great place to start your scuba adventure! read more

Thorsten and Maira have been very helpful in advising me on my equipment purchases and I feel have received good service every time I visit. I really enjoyed the PADI certification classes and look forward to furthering my training. Scuba Frisco is well-run shop and I highly recommend them for all your scuba needs. read more

I took my PADI dive certification through this shop and highly recommend them! I considered several different places and am extremely happy I picked Scuba Frisco. The online course is effective and there is a broad selection of dates for the pool and open water dive times. The owners (a couple) of the shop are helpful and knowledgeable. All of the instructors were fabulous, patient, kind, knowledgeable and experienced. My open water dive instructors were Erich and Dale and I would be pleased as punch to be able to go on a dive trip with them - they know their stuff and are just fun and interesting people. We also had assistance from a trainee - Rich - again, knowledgeable and relaxed. Frank was my pool instructor and he was patient and calming as well. It was a tremendously positive experience. read more

My two teenagers were both recently certified through Scuba Frisco. They worked hard to accommodate our tight schedule for certification as we were headed to Florida in the following few weeks and wanted to do some diving with the kids. Maira Thomas, their pool instructor was AWESOME. She was extremely thorough and very friendly. Both kids really enjoyed working with her and I felt like they received excellent instruction regarding safety. They completed the lake portion of their certification with Dustin Palmer, who was wonderful as well. He gave them a lot of positive feedback and made them feel at ease in the water. We could not have had a better experience! read more

My favorite dive shop in the metroplex, we drive almost an hour to shop here because of the level of customer service we receive from Thorsten and his staff. We've bought gear, taken classes and love the service, it is far superior over other shops we've visited since I got certified. I wanted so badly to take my OW class with them and couldn't make the dates work but have since taken some Advance classes with them. They remember you, give solid advice and treat you like family. They do not try to over sell you, which I really appreciate as a beginner. Thorsten is so sweet and helpful with my hundreds of questions on gear and equipment. I shopped them for snorkel gear in 2015 and he told me then to get certified. Hated it took me four years to conquer that fear but so glad I did. Highly recommended visiting if you are looking to be certified or already are and want a dive shop to call home. read more

Can't get any better. The staff is incredible. They have your budget, comfort, and happiness at the top of their priorities. When walking in for the first time last summer, I wasn't sure what I was doing, being the first scuba shop I've been to in years, finally ready to pull the trigger. Thorsten and Dustin both helped me immensely with choosing the correct gear for my body type, style, and budget. Having gone through the entire certification process with them, I now have some very close friends and visit back regularly. Can't appreciate them enough. Thanks guys! read more

Not enough good things to say about this spot - I was trying to figure out my dive plans for a few weeks and Treta was amazing with helping schedule, move my classes and giving honest advice. Going into the store, they had a huge selection of items and, once again, Treta was incredible with assisting on the correct selections for my fit, budget, goals, etc.. I also did my pool dives with the Scuba Frisco team. Erich, Steve and Lance were incredible for all the training! I felt super prepared coming out of the training, but they also made it fun and were super supportive for all (whether you picked up on the skills immediately or not, they caused no shame and would work with you for as long as needed to make sure you were comfortable). All 3 were very forthcoming with information on favorite dive sites, their experiences and the joys of diving. Additionally, the way they interacted with other divemasters at the pool made me excited for my future as a diver as you could truly see the connection between them all. Scuba Frisco was a random find on my part, but I would recommend them to absolutely anyone interested in diving. Friendly, knowledgeable, well-prepared and they want to make sure you enjoy the experience. read more
