    My husband and son recently completed the two-day Introduction to Scuba Diving course at Aquatic Adventures, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The program included classroom learning, hands-on training, and pool skills. What really stood out was the level of care and personal attention the instructors gave. My son struggled with some of the skills, and Dennis went above and beyond both days to work with him one-on-one. He took extra time to calm his nerves, give him encouragement, and make sure he felt supported. Jennifer was equally amazing—she even stayed after class so my son could push through a skill he was really struggling with, helping him find success. The balance of encouragement, instruction, and patience was perfect. As a parent, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the extra effort they gave to ensure my son felt confident and accomplished. Aquatic Adventures truly provides not just instruction, but genuine support. Highly recommend!

    Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Instructors were top notch, and we even got a couple of dives in towards our advanced open water certification during the weekend. The hybrid-class is the way to go if you want to move quickly through the course!

    I called Aquatic Adventures to enquire about getting an air tank filled for my air rifle and a few other questions. Cheryl was such a wealth of knowledge and so helpful over the phone. I planned to go on Saturday but had time today and they didn't close until 8pm so I went this afternoon. This was my first time at the shop. They were extra nice and friendly and again so helpful in answering all my questions. It's the exceptional service I like that will keep me coming back.

    I did my PADI open water certification, as well as my advanced open water certification through Aquatic Adventures. I've also done a trip through their dive shop (to Cozumel). The instruction is awesome (Cheryl is a fantastic teacher and makes you feel at ease throughout the whole learning experience, as well as the certification dives) and the dive shop has everything you need (including rentals for trips!), or can easily order one off items. I also recommend their dive trips - everything is planned for you, and the prices are very reasonable.
