The only problem is they are a bit expensive on this girl's Marshall's budget. We always feel sick after buying stuff at Quicksilver, "We just bought this shirt for how much?!" Hope we're okay with whittling away our future children's college fund! But low and behold while strolling around Mall of America this past week we stumble across this Quicksilver location. My husband didn't even want to go in at first reminding me of how expensive it is but I spotted a 50% table, we found 2 items. I asked the sales guys whether this sign was too good to be true, I've never seen a 50% sign at Quicksilver. "Nope, everything there is 50% off," he replied. Not wanting to deal with it later (this was the last stop during our full day of shopping) I asked, "You want to check on that before I quote you on it later." He said sure and confirmed it. At that point we looked up to see racks and racks of 50% off clothing, sweaters and jackets. Jackpot! We racked up $300 of half priced, non sales taxed, quality clothing forcing us to buy an additional bag to fly home with. The sales guy who helped us was really friendly and helpful, price checking everything we were unsure of. He had a long day too, having flown in from CO that morning to work the day after Christmas in the largest mall in the area. You would never know it from his helpful attitude and willingness to start up a conversation. This place made our shopping experience!

Took the intro to Scuba class. There really was no instruction, per say. More of a reading of all…read moredisclaimers. We then had a 45 minute wait before pool time began and because they only have enough for half the class to go in at a time, we sat around for 30 minutes (boring). Was fun once we got it, but it bit nasty to have to use a respirator that someone just got done using (they don't clean 'em up after the first wave). Worth trying if you haven't scuba'd before but otherwise, meh.

Highly recommend shopping for gear weeks/month before your dive training in case you need to order gear in different size/color.

I started the basic Open Water diving class through Aquaventure this year after deciding to learn…read morescuba diving largely on a whim; It seemed like it would be a pretty fun skill to pick up for tropical/beach vacations. I did not have a very strong aquatic background going into the class, but after a little initial inertia I think I was able to do alright picking up all the basic skills in the class, and I really did feel like a lot of it started to sink in pretty quickly. The instructor I had as well as the assistant instructors were all friendly/knowledgeable/helpful. I got the sense that they all took my learning as well as the other students learning very seriously, and just in general felt like I was in pretty good hands the whole time. When I made mistakes (I made a lot of mine towards the beginning), they helped a lot with correcting them quickly. Prior to that, the person I had in the gear shop to select my mask/fins/snorkel was also helpful getting me to try out and find the right fit for everything. I guess my biggest critique would be that for Part 1 it feels a bit like the 'fire hose' method of learning in that you cram learning and demonstrating many skills into less than a 24 hour period, which doesn't give you much time to let 'feeling it out' sink in. It's also pretty tiring. Of course, it's also pretty convenient in terms of schedule to get all of that done in a single weekend, and stretching the course out would just add cost to the end-user I'm sure, so it's probably a conscious tradeoff. My second biggest critique is the only option for lunch on the Saturday class is Subway (blech), unless you bring your own of course. I have not done my checkout dives (Part 2) yet, will do that in Spring 2020 at Square Lake and may post updates on how that goes. Some advice/suggestions for others who feel ok, but not ultra-confident in the water and may want to take a course like this: -They really will make you swim 200 yards and tread for 10 minutes during part 1 of the class (in the pool), so make sure you can do this first. This makes sense, as it's hard to imagine being very comfortable with diving if you can't swim at least a little. Since I generally don't ever get to swim outside of family vacations and when I was forced to in grades 1-6 of grade school, I bought some temporary passes to a local gym with a pool to practice this a few times in the weeks leading up to the class. A few sessions of practicing treading and basic strokes and I was more or less good to go! -When you get the elearning class, All the actual dive skills you'll do in the pool are at the slides at the very end of each module. I'd suggest reviewing those slides in particular right before the pool class and studying them intently to rehearse how you'll do the skills before you do them. If you're like me you would make fewer mistakes if you do this. The dives 1-5 they do in the pool do stick to the skills outlined in the elearning modules 1-5 pretty closely, so you can know what to expect basically in order by reviewing these. -They really will make you do stuff like 'sip' the air bubbles from a free-flowing regulator underwater to simulate a broken one, so get ready to feel like Sonic the Hedgehog in one of the aquatic levels. I never would've guessed that this would actually work in real life before I took this class XD

Update: Spoke with the owner and another instructor. They were very apologetic and want to make it right.

Instructor was impatient, rude, not thorough, and belittled members of our group. Worst experience ever and honestly ruined scuba diving for me and my daughter. Run.
