    Twelve years ago, I walked into Ocean Safari already certified but honestly not a diver yet. I'd…read morehad a bad certification experience at another shop a couple of years earlier, and it completely destroyed my confidence. My gear sat untouched for two years because I was scared to dive again. Eventually I worked up the courage to walk in and ask to join a local dive trip, I had my card, so I figured I should be able to do it. Somehow Gabe, Soo, and the team recognized exactly where I was and never once made me feel embarrassed about it. They patiently filled in the gaps in my training, helped me work through the things that scared me, and gave me the confidence I'd been missing all along. Looking back, it feels like they quietly re-certified me without ever making me feel like I had to start over. That changed everything. Diving went from something I was afraid of to one of the great passions of my life. With Gabe's mentorship and encouragement, I eventually moved overseas and spent a few years working as a scuba instructor, something I never would have imagined when I first walked into that shop. Over the years, Ocean Safari has become so much more than a dive shop. It's a community and a second home. My parents learned to dive here. Years later, I brought my boyfriend in to get certified, and he's now my husband. We still dive with Gabe, Soo, and the Ocean Safari family regularly. They gave me the confidence I needed to actually become a diver, introduced me to lifelong friends, and gave me a community that still feels like home. Thank you, Gabe, Soo, and everyone at Ocean Safari. You've had a bigger impact on my life than you'll probably ever know.

    I would like to start out with a quick story before getting to my review. 5 months ago, I was only…read moreable to walk with the assistance of a walker, after a major surgery, and spending all my time in physical therapy, relearning to walk. After a discussion with my surgeon and Physical Therapist, they agreed that learning to Scuba Dive would be beneficial to my recovery, with a few minor restrictions. I cannot begin to find the words to thank Rusty Berry and his incredible team of instructors, assistants, and shop employees. Each and every one of them went above and beyond to work with me and assist me with a couple of restrictions. I began spending every single Saturday in their pool, working with a number of instructors, and was even allowed to come in on a Sunday to only focus on buoyancy. Today, thanks to each and every one of them, I became a certified open water diver. Through the pain, the anxiety, and the frustration of my limitations, they made it happen. They were my biggest cheerleaders in not only getting my life back, but making me stronger and making sure I reached a long time personal goal of mine. I proudly represent Scuba Schools of America each and every day and I will forever refer SSA to anyone ready for their Scuba adventure. Rusty is a savant when it comes to diving. His knowledge is so impressive I could spend hours listening and learning something new every day. He is truly a rockstar in the industry. I would like to give a special thank you to David, Devin, Scott, Jim, Annie and the rest of Rusty's team. I look forward to future adventures with Rusty and crew and will forever be grateful to each and every one of them. Thank you all!

    I found this dive shop at the Long Beach scuba diving convention. The staff is friendly and very…read more knowledgeable in scuba diving training. This shop has all the equipment and gear for recreational and serious divers. They plan excellent boat dives that make your diving experience fun and memorable. There is parking available and I do recommend this place. Training never ends if you want to advance your diving experience. Great instructors and dive masters!
