Scuba.com

Dive shop

😠 Not only did one of the $1,100 masks that we purchased come with a broken regulator - our box came damaged and we have 2 invoices that are not even to us, they’re to two other people from two different companies. There is clearly no one doing quality checks here and it’s unfortunate because had some...

PCH Scuba

SCUBA instructor

😠 BEWARE!!! UNLESS YOU LIKE GIVING MONEY LOTS OF MONEY AWAY... PCH Scuba’s personnel are knowledgeable, helpful, and upbeat when connecting with you and convincing you to partake in their programs. They’re completely unresponsive and unethical when a refund is involved. I paid $1,700.00 to partake...

👍👍 I am so happy I found this dive shop! I was looking to complete my open water certification VERY quickly for an upcoming vacation (in ~2 weeks).

Riverside Scuba

Dive shop

😠 STUDENTS BE WARE! READ THE REVIEWS! These are not good people to do business with. Nico is a dishonest instructor. My son scheduled dive lessons with this organization and made it as far as the classroom session. When my son reported for the poolside lesson the instructor, Nico, failed to show up or...

Sea Stallion Scuba Outfitters

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE... I found the Sea Stallion through Groupon and after reading all the "bad" reviews, was concerned about the service level and the prices they would charge for the basic Scuba Certification gear. I stopped by the store yesterday afternoon and Kevin helped me. He was very...

Dive Catalina

👍👍 Absolutely fantastic! I made my reservation over the phone, and the staff was helpful and answered all my questions. Ron himself was our guide for our dive through the kelp forest, and he was patient, informative, and accommodating. He is an ideal person to operate a scuba shop and work as a local a...

Diving Catalina

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 Perfect! My buddy and I haven’t dive for a year. We did a refresher course today. We reviewed all the things and then dive for 3mins. The water was cold so we wear 7mm wetsuit. All the gears were clean. We will come next time!

Scuba Schools of America

Dive shop

👍👍 If you are looking for a school that has professional instructors that don't rush you in class and will teach you everything the right way from the start I recommend Rusty and his team! Not only do they teach you scuba they will teach you the right way of doing even simple things so it becomes 2nd n...

ASD Scuba Diving School

SCUBA instructor

😠 They just try to get money from you by joining their program and their scuba trip but do not give any service to you. You must regard if you join their program. You don't want a school that teaches you diving as one teacher facing like 20+ students. He cannot pick up your mistake but only can watch...

👍👍 We were here over Labor Day weekend and rented suits and gear. Seth and the other staff were great!

Just a walk down t...

Beach Cities Scuba

SCUBA instructor

😠 Really disappointed in our sole experience with Beach Cities Scuba. We booked a boat dive starting at Dana Point on a Sunday and flew into San Diego from the east coast for this boat dive. We paid for an AirBnb and plane tickets to attend. The day before the boat dive, we get an email saying Beach...
