My eyesight is pretty bad and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to snorkel with a normal mask. They went over and above.

After getting my certification a month ago, I decided it was time to get geared up. I visited…read moresome other area dive shop and they were OK, but still seemed more focused on the sale than on making sure I had the right level of equipment I needed. Then I walked into Lakeland and was impressed from the start. Al's experience and love of diving shines through with everything he shows you. I spent almost 3 hours in the store asking tons of questions and came away with the right gear for me. Everyone in the shop was great and extremely helpful. I felt like it wasn't just a one time buy - that we were starting a partnership that will continue to grow over time. I wish I had visited there before I got my certification - I would have definitely done it with Captain Al. I probably would have learned so much more. But now I know exactly where I'm going to do my Advanced OW.

I have, for years, wanted to take SCUBA classes. After kicking the idea around for a while I…read morestopped in at a few shops, some of which were clearly less-than-honest about the pricing. I asked a few friends, young and old, about their opinions, and the only shop to get high recommendations was Cedar Grove Divers Supply. So I stopped in the shop to talk. Let me be clear, scuba diving is not cheap. But it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. CGDS was up front about the cost, which was reasonable. Some places say they are cheaper, but then add "pool fees" and "certification fees." CGDS has awesome supplies in stock, and let me try out items before making the decision on what to buy. They include so much in their course, which doesn't begin to explain the experience of the instructor. The primary instructor, Doug, has been diving for longer that I have been alive. The wealth of knowledge provided during class, during open water dives, and during general discussion is unparalleled. Classes and certification dive days felt more like talking to friends than taking a class. I can't say enough about this family owned operation, and would recommend it to anyone. In fact, some of my own family members will be signing up soon. I will be back for more advanced training in the future!

Called many shops in the area, but only Scuba Guru responded to my last-minute request (and they responded on a Sunday). They made it clear that what I wanted was doable, and they provided me with specific instructions of what needed to be done and by when. In the end, they were able to completely accommodate me, and provided me with a diving experience and education that gave me the confidence (and certification) I needed to make my vacation a great trip. After my initial experience and vacation I decided that I wanted to further my diving abilities, and of course returned to Scuba Guru to get advanced training and certifications. I am glad that I started my diving education with Scuba Guru, and have been able to continue to grow it at my own pace and interest, while being taught the right way to dive.

If you want to learn scuba diving, Scuba Guru is the clear choice.

The BC was in excellent condition, but I couldn't stomach $200+ to repair the BC when nice new ones sell on clearance for $250-350. Steve found the parts somewhere and my total bill for the service and parts was only $28! I ended up buying a few odds and ends in the shop also while I was there. I'll definitely make this shop a pitstop when diving at Dutch Springs or on my way to NJ if I need anything. Thanks for the good service guys.
