This was an amazing experience. We started in a warehouse. We went over safety, underwater hand signals etc I was then fitted for a wetsuit and fins. I had to take a short test to confirm I was paying attention. If you want a t-shirt etc buy before heading to the beach as you don’t come back this location and it’s $15.00 to ship later (wish I had known that, therefor I didn’t get a shirt) We met at a local beach not far away where he suited me up. I wore my bathing suit under my clothes. I wish I had brought some water shoes to wear through the parking lot to the beach. Brad was very patient and made me feel confident and comfortable in the water.

Bruce was an excellent instructor. I had never snorkeled before deciding to scuba and made him aware of that. With his education and supervision, I felt very safe and well-prepared. The skills portion of the class was clear and concise. The actual dive was incredible. My boyfriend and I opted to dive again and pay for the second tank of air—totally worth it! We saw beautiful reefs, fish, and even a sea turtle! We were stoked, to say the least. If you have any inclination to try it out, do it!! Go with Bruce. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience, one of the best dives I’ve ever had! Went to a sunken pier which had so much wildlife, I saw about 20 turtles, tons of fish, corals and even a small shark! Frannie was a great dive instructor and a lot of fun to dive with!

We enjoyed all 3 of the activities It was all well planned.

It was worth seeing what you could see in the depths.
