    February 2022 Class

    We had our 3 kids certified in OW by ScubaToys across two different weekends about 2 months apart (our 13-yr old twins went one weekend and our 15-yr old did her checkout dives about 2 months later) in 2022. The weekend that our twins went, the temps were somewhere in the 40s. the visibility wasn't that great for both weekends. It was a little bit warmer when our older daughter went. Both of those weekends, it was 2 young people paired up with a dive master or instructor the whole time. Never did I see a dive where they were not paired up with an experienced diver. The instructor was a police officer who regularly dives in the trinity river (and other water ways) for search and recovery dives (not the same one in the recent incident). He was in the water all the time. I felt that the instructions were clear and safety was always a top priority. There were at least 2 diver masters and the instructor both weekends. The classes including DMs and instructor was about 9-10 people. There was an covered platform with stairs to the top deck where I was able to watch my girls dive. Never did I worry about their safety. The only complaint I could make about Scuba Toys, is that I felt like their organization of the classes could be better. I don't remember all the details but I remembered we had some problems with getting them all the forms they needed (physician sign off, medical questionnaires, liability waivers, etc) and could have been handled easier. Seemed like we sent them but the scuba shop could find them or something. In addition, we have bought some gear from them, then bought some gear from other resources.

    We had a fantastic experience here yesterday. I called ahead and spoke with Ryan, because I know very little about scuba gear. But we need some for an upcoming trip to Turks and Caicos. Ryan was kind enough to ask a few questions and even check the water temp where I was going! Very nice! He assured me they had tons of gear and it's best to try it on. He was right! We got exactly what we needed for my boyfriend, and I got this fabulous blue shirt for myself. They have TONS of selection for wetsuits and gear. I highly recommend them! Ryan and his staff are knowledgeable and very nice!

    Beautiful pool!

    GREAT Dive shop. Employees are very friendly & the pool is a fantastic place for lessons & scuba review. LOVE this place.

    The in class review before we did our first pool session!

    My boyfriend loves scuba diving and encouraged me to learn. We had a trip planned for Belize so I wanted to get certified before I went. The online website shows you the available class times they offered. I chose the 4-day class, which was 2 weekends in a row: Sat/Sun at the store's pool in the back, and Sat/Sun at the lake out in Terrell, TX. The other option was evening classes on Tues/Thur with the pool & lake session on the weekend. Depending on which instructor is teaching on the weekend you signed up for, you would get either PADI or NAUI certified. They're essentially the same, with NAUI having a few extra skills to learn. The pool session in the back of the store was a great way to learn and not be scared. We got familiar with the equipment and practiced skills underwater until we were comfortable. The lake in Terrell was about an hour drive outside of Dallas, and is a man-made scuba lake. It has sunken ships and an underwater plane that was pretty awesome to "find". The lake is dark and the visibility isn't that clear, so it forced us to learn to use our navigation skills to find these objects! It was a bit scary at first, but with the instructor and your dive buddy, you'll learn everything you need to know! I had a great experience with Scuba Toys and loveddd my instructor!

    Got my certification a month ago. The instructors Jeff and Sean did a great job and made me feel comfortable. You spend one weekend at the Scuba Toys location and another weekend at a lake in Terrell. I just got back from Cozumel where I went ahead and got my Advanced certification. My instructor in Cozumel said my instructors did a great job. Just understand you are getting your certification to go awesome places. Diving in a lake is not going to be near as fun as tropical places. Also you can join their club and get 10% off products for sale.

    Just finished my OW certification and am finishing up Nitrox this week with ScubaToys. I absolutely loved it! Sean and Jeff were awesome instructors and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend going to ScubaToys for any of your certifications.

    I completed my Open Water scuba diving certification here, and I highly recommend the Scuba Shop!…read moreThey try to keep class sizes small (we had 6 students in our class) so nobody gets lost in the crowd.Rick and Dawn are awesome co-instructors who are super knowledgeable and make you feel safe and comfortable. They demonstrate everything clearly and explain each skill thoroughly, citing real-world examples based on their own experience as divers and active members of the diving community. Rick is a wealth of knowledge (on diving, dive skills, dive gear, you name it!) And provided all of us with excellent instruction as well as feedback. Dawn offers useful, alternate explanations--in addition to one-on-one reinforcement for students who need more time or assistance in fully understanding and mastering a skill. They don't gloss over anything, and they spend as much time as the group needs in order for each student to feel comfortable, which I really appreciate. Having the two of them also allows individual students to have that valuable one-on-one time with Dawn while Rick continues his instruction, so students that need more time on a skill don't feel like they're holding up the group or feel embarrassed like they are the center of attention when the rest of the group is ready to move on. I'm already thinking about what scuba diving courses I want to take next! I highly recommend the Scuba Shop for those who are looking for more than just getting certified and "getting it over with." Rick and Dawn's scuba classes are for those who want to feel well-prepared and truly confident in their skills as a diver.

    We found Island Divers a couple years ago as my wife and I got scuba certified. It is a weird…read morethought to get certified in the Dallas area but they presented us multiple options. Certainly getting certified in Cozumel is an option with them but so is the Scuba Ranch in the Dallas area. I like to think if you can scuba in that lake you can scuba anywhere. The instructors were amazing and very accommodative to our needs. We opted to pay a little extra to do a a more private accelerated class. It did speed up the process and decreased the commutes out to the ranch. Fast forward to today and we continue diving. Their instruction and expectation setting has helped on many dives. Most recently I joined them on a liveaboard the MV Fling TX Caribbean out of Freeport TX. I have to say the diving conditions were amazing and who knew TX had such an amazing place to dive. It is a 6-8 hour boat ride out but totally worth it. Going with them also allowed me to expand my training and knowledge. There on the trip I did the nitrox and advanced diving. Once again the instruction was amazing and safety was always a priority. After doing 11 dives over 3 days I feel much more capable and ready for anything. Thanks to Gordon, Dick, Lance and Bob that are top notch. The shop is amazing and always full of suggestions.

Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend this company enough.
