His attention to diver safety makes you feel extremely comfortable when going out in the open water. Chris was so great, my son and I decided to continue our dive training and signed up for Advance Open Water Training with Chris. If you want a great scuba instructor who makes your scuba experience fun, safe and an experience to remember, look no further.

Great contact for diving in Tacoma, and great prices! I had non-diving friends move to Tacoma, and…read morefinally got the chance to visit from out of state. I was looking for a guided dive and had never been in open saltwater before. It was a bit of a last minute trip, and the shop was really really good about working with me to match me with a buddy, and had cheaper rental prices than all the other places I checked. Professional and easy to work with. I dove with Allen Raphael, and he was wonderful! Incredibly helpful, attentive to any questions I had, and was incredibly fun and knowledgeable about what we were seeing. I was also a little nervous, and he had a very easygoing calm personality while managing to get all the little details just right. I felt super safe and free to enjoy the dive, and he went the extra mile to work with me and my limitations, (no car, no place to dry gear overnight etc.) Lots of amazing sea critters too, lungfish, rockfish, nudibranchs, flounder, crabs and starfish of all sizes, sea cucumbers, anemone's...you'd never guess it's all down there by looking at the coast, and it's mostly all okay to touch! So incredible. Fantastic to work with, and we've already picked out the dives for my return trip!

With an upcoming trip to Baja Sur, I decided this was the time and was initially looking at outfits in Mexico when I just so happened to check local prices here in the PNW. I was surprised to find that Underwater Sports offered the most affordable PADI certification I had seen, half the cost of some dive companies in Baja. When I went to check out the shop, I was immediately impressed with the staff, who were all friendly, knowledgeable, & passionate about diving. It felt right, so I booked the Open Water Diver course. This proved to be a very good decision as our instructor, Jaiden, and her assisting Dive Masters (Frank & Jason) were all equally skilled, friendly, and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was professional but never stiff. I was confident that Jaiden and our Dive Masters always knew what they were doing and had our safety as their top priority, but they also were very relatable and easy to talk to. The experience was an entirely positive one, from beginning to end, and while I was already certain that I would love diving, I am now equally certain that I have found a community that I will continue to share that love with. I highly recommend Underwater Sports in Federal Way for anyone interested in crossing over to the other side of the water's surface. It's a beautiful world down there & you couldn't do much better than having the Fed Way crew introduce you to it.

Commonly known as "The Yellow House" right off Highway 101 in Hoodsport, WA, is the place where…read moremany Scuba Divers get certified for diving in the Pacific Northwest. This facility is perfectly located in the quiet quaint town of Hoodsport, WA. The house sleeps up to 21 guests with a garage for staging scuba gear & a rinse & drying room. There is ample parking. If you need groceries or scuba supplies, it's an easy 5 minute walk, or a 60 second drive. Beach access is simple and just across the street, but you need to be aware of cross-traffic, since it is on Highway 101. The diving is superb here & is maintained so that people cannot harvest sea life, so you're able to see all sorts of crab & fish. There are guide ropes out in the water to follow & checkpoints where you can see wrecked boats underwater. I highly recommend doing a night dive as you're able to witness the bio-luminescence when you agitate the water & it lights up like fire flies underwater. The only negative is that the wi-fi @ the Yellow House is spotty & you need to either be upstairs or on the main floor, or right next to the inside stairwell to get good reception.

We did get to enjoy the hot tub, which was fantastic in the cold weather and the place was pet-friendly.

This town has needed a real grocery store for ever! I remember the days of having to go all the way to Shelton if you needed anything more than the basics available at the minimart.

The staff are very friendly - great service. On my second visit I did do a bit of shopping and easily found everything I needed. I will definitely be going back next time I am in town, which will be in about a week.
