The Scuba Shop

My husband and I had a wonderful experience getting Scuba certified with Chris A and assistant instructor Jason S — they were very patient, very knowledgeable and very friendly. I really appreciate the time they took to educate my husband and I to become not just good scuba divers but great ones. Given that I am a little more cautious /​prefer the safer route than my more carefree husband, I can safely say that I am well-​prepared for scuba-​diving and feel quite confident under water! Thanks Chris, and Jason and Fernando for this incredible opportunity and for giving us some skills that I think will last a long-​time. If you are looking for scuba diving instruction and certification, these guys are the best in their field.

I spoke too Steve today. I needed some last minute equipment prior to my next five trip. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. The prices are very reasonable even when compared to the internet discount dive shops. I will definitely go back.

Got my O/​W cert with these guys back in 2011 and just returned for a refresher before going to Hawaii for some diving.
I recognized most of the staff right away (Stephen and Fernando) and my refresher dive was with a new instructor.
If you are at all interested in scuba diving, talk to Stephen, he’ll hook you up!
Staff — very friendly and knowledgeable
Pricing — reasonable and comparable
Very good full service dive shop I’m glad to call «home base»

Our family is planning a trip to Hawaii, so I encouraged my son to take some dive lessons. He found the Scuba Shop — and did his Open Water training with Fernando. I hadn’t been diving in 6 years, so I called Fernando and asked about switching from SSI to PADI. He was very helpful and explained my options. We decided that I would get my Advanced Open Water cert — and he was flexible enough with his scheduling that I was able to train with my son after he passed his Open Water class. Jeff also filled in for Fernando on our last AOW dives and was awesome as well. We have gotten to know Steve too. I just can’t say enough about the quality of the instruction and the care these guys take for all of their customers. Also, their training and rental equipment is far superior to what I’ve seen used at other dive shops.
I would highly recommend anyone interested in scuba to go by and visit with these guys and become part of The Scuba Shop family! You can’t find any better training anywhere!

I just want to say that I am a certified Open Water diver and the Scuba Shop and Kye Leslie are to thank for that. One of my biggest fears was being underwater, I took the 4 day class. I had plenty of time to learn all I needed, what I needed was more time to get comfortable in the water than what came with the class. no problem, they were totally flexible, and yes i did have to pay an extra fee, but it was reasonable and i was taking up the instructors time and I did not mind at all.
I took twice as long as the others in the class (which was my husband and one other nice gentleman). I also had to have an extra trip to the lake and the pool, as I was having major anxiety issues. I am happy to say they were very patient, encouraging and easy to work with. I got certified, went on my trip and I actually look forward to diving now. While i don’t see advanced open water in my future anytime soon, I do think that one day with this shop and lots of practice it may be a possibility.

I love this place! The staff is amazing! Instructors are great. They are very flexible and willing to work with customers regardless of what is happening. I’ve brought my whole family here and have never encountered anyone who was less than excellent.

This is a Scuba Shop that looks out for you all through your diving progression. Whether your are thinking about trying it out for the first time, or wanting to finish your Instructor rating, these guys are there to help. The staff is awesome, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Give a call and ask for Fernando. Become part of the Scuba Shop family!

This is one of the best dive shops that I have been to. The staff are very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Steve is very easy to talk to and he will bend over backwards to help you out as will any of the other staff. Scott is an excellent instructor! It had been a few years since i had been in the water and Scott was very understanding and out going to help me get comfortable in the water again. Just walk in the shop and you will feel the friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who wants to learn how to scuba dive.

About a year ago, I approached the dive shop that I had frequented for many years about wrapping up my PADI Master Scuba Diver certification. I learned at that time that they had decided to give up their PADI affiliation, which I was sad to hear as I’ve been a PADI diver since I was 17. So, the hunt started to find a new shop to complete my training. I’m an engineer, so I tend to research things quite a bit. Found many shops around the valley, and several that were more conveniently located for me, but decided on The Scuba Shop, because of their PADI 5-​Star IDC level and their on-​site indoor heated pool. A year later… I’m very, very glad with my decision. The facilities are great, as are the instructors.

The staff here is phenomenal!
Scott, Gina (both who I’ve trained under) and Steve (this guy is hilarious) among others are truly knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make sure you understand the skills needed to be a safe diver.
Having been on a multiple trips with them and taken quite a few class, the atmosphere is fun and professional.
Brought a few people to them for instruction and will continue to do so. Cannot recommend The Scuba Shop enough for all your scuba needs. Customer (and diver) for life!

Beware — they lie! I’ve never used scuba equipment before, and they are supposed to be the experts. They are only experts at taking your money. You can not return any items. Too many people in the class. We had 2 people quit because they couldn’t get assistance.

Nice place. Nice staff. We found a new scuba shop! Ive been diving for years but my buddy is new. This place will do nicely for both of us.

Like many other people my age, the movie Jaws completely traumatized me. I have a deep fear of the ocean and would never have considered diving…
…until I was given the opportunity to go on a dream vacation sailing around the Caribbean. Damn you dream vacation, you’re making me face my fears!
I had a whopping two weeks to get my open water certification or else I’d spend some quality time sitting alone on a boat. After some frustrating research I found the Scuba Shop.
The shop offers either a three week course or an accelerated four day program. Perfect!
The cost of the course is reasonable, although there are some kind of hidden costs. The quoted price gets you the class and pool time, it doesn’t get you the four open water dives necessary to actually get certified. I didn’t really care, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time.
The Instructor, Casey W, was amazing. He was able to clearly explain all the details we needed to not die, and he did it in a practical way. I can’t say enough about how great a job he did.
Thanks to The Scuba Shop I was able to get certified in about a week, taking into account the open water dives. Not only am I certified, but I genuinely enjoy diving! Who would have thought?
I am now ready for an amazing trip, some great diving and not getting eaten by a vengeful Great White.

Currently doing my Divemaster through them, and have done every class up to this point with them. I went on a live aboard trip to Catalina with them, and it was a blast. Classes are frequent and well taught. I highly suggest them for any of your diving needs. In the same building is Aqua Tots that does swim lessons for kids, and Workplace Safety for, well classes on workplace safety.
