Are you ready to join the most amazing scuba family in Brooklyn? Do you want to dive with 2…read moreexperienced retired firefighters/divemasters? Do you want to be the most competent scuba diver? If you answered yes to all of that ocean horizons scuba is for you, if you didn't reread my review five times and re-ask yourself those questions . I loved scuba diving and like most people when you initially try to get your scuba certification, your probably looking for the "best deal" like where can I get certified for the "cheapest price". Well you can go on yelp look up reviews call 15 scuba shops and I can almost guarantee not going with Ocean Horizons Scuba is a big mistake. When I went scuba shopping some places will give you your certification after one day in a pool and say "hey your certified, just go complete the course online and finish your certification dives and your PADI certified" After one lesson in the pool do you think your ready to get tested on skills underwater in the ocean or a quarry you decide? Paul's prices are so reasonable....There is really no competition. Paul & Jimmy (the handsome instructors) are the gurus of the ocean they drill the concept of diving and the risks as well as understanding. They embed information into your brain. The course is 5 weeks, that's right 5 long weeks of water time(spent either at YMCA park slope or Ft Hamilton high school) and class time... and if you aren't picking it up fast enough they wont "let you fly just yet" they will take you under there wing and spend individual time with you in the pool or tell you to come for extra classes(no they wont charge you, they genuinely have your best interest at heart). If you feel uncomfortable about a skill they will review it with you, over and over again. They prepare you to take the NAUI certification and are more than willing to help you out with anything. Paul plans trips to Cozumel and Micronesia and other places once your certified and also to complete your certification. Like I reiterated when you take a class with Paul not only do you become a certified diver but you just got a first class ticket to one of the best circle of divers to travel and dive the world with! Not only would I go back and do it all over again and again but this time I would take the paper with the list of other dive places and throw it out and not waste my time. I went to Thailand and It was such a great diving experience I owe it all to two hardcore scuba instructors. Working a full time job, and going to school Paul accommodates to every schedule possible. Weekend, Nights he has so many classes to choose from. Ocean Horizons Scuba has one goal and its making the best and safest divers in the world!

Paul Bardo is a world class instructor…read more My girlfriend and I recently completed our NAUI Open Water Diver certification with Paul, which comprises five weeks of classroom/pool training, along with four certification dives at the Dutch Springs Quarry. We had an incredible experience, with instruction being both academic and practical at the same time. Paul demonstrated a patience that remained unabated, answering all of our questions, and never failing to share his wealth of knowledge gained from decades of scuba experience. Pat, his colleague, was the best guy ever, fun and surprised us in helpfulness, showing up to provide assistance wherever he could. We would never recommend any shop other than OHS to do your certification, and look forward to diving with Paul again on his future trips!

Diving can be a dangerous sport if the equipment you rent at a resort hasn't been properly serviced, I have always preferred to own my equipment personally as a long-term investment. Nearly every dollar I spent over 20 years ago, all of the equipment is in top shape and will last decades more. I have traveled on their trips from South Africa to Polynesia and beyond. Some reviewers say to consider Amazon or scuba websites, but when you're down 100 feet underwater, nobody cares how much you saved by going online. If your equipment fails, it's kablooey and you're dead. The instructors and owners are fantastic, and nobody can consult you better on equipment than Lorraine. She analyzes every option before suggesting a good match for you. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I personally had some fears going into diving, but the relaxed energy Michel displayed made for a comforting and safe learning environment. I highly recommend Gotham Divers.

I was waiting for the day my triplet girls would be old enough for diving, and finally that day arrived. I am NAUI trained, and even though they are not the most well known, I believe in the NAUI training philosophy. I was so lucky to have found Oceanblue and Michael Feld. He meticulously taught the classroom material and pool sessions for my daughters and husband. I felt completely comfortable with their knowledge heading into the open water portion of the training. The best part was that we went on an Oceanblue trip to Cozumel on the girls' 13th birthday to complete their certification with Michael. I couldn't be more proud watching my girls, so comfortable underwater. Its a testament to Michael's comprehensive training. The trip was well organized and didn't require hours of my own work to set up boats and gear. Everything was arranged for us. Oceanblue offers the most you could ever want from a dive club. If you just want to get online and read about diving...you can do that. If you want to go to happy hours and swap diving stories and hear lectures...you can do that. If you want to advance your dive training...you can do that. If you want to go on a well organized dive trip...you can do that. If you want gear...Steve at Oceanblue's dive shop will order you whatever you need. Oceanblue is a truly comprehensive dive operation and it's free to get involved. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any diving services.

We found Divers Two located down the Jersey shore in beautiful Avon by the Sea. So we decided to take a ride to investigate. Walked in on a sunny cold March Saturday to a very friendly and knowledgeable young woman named Ann. No pressure sale, she asked us about our trip, we needed some snorkeling equipment. She explained all the options, showed us how to test fit masks, explained all the options and price ranges. Didn't make fun of me when I asked silly questions, which I greatly appreciated. I hate when salespeople talk down to you. She was great, took her time, was such a pleasant experience plus I love supporting local businesses! Thank you! I'll be sure to visit again. Highly recommend!
