My wife and I took the Try SCUBA course and had an excellent time! Ed, the instructor, did a fantastic job teaching and sharing his passion for SCUBA. The majority of the class is spent in the pool and I would highly recommend this course if youve ever wanted to try SCUBA. Also makes a great date night!

SO MUCH FUN. This team is incredibly cool, chill, and yet simultaneously wonderfully professional at the same time. The way they imparted the SSI course material was thorough yet engaging and the pool instruction for open water diving was primo. The additional help they sourced for the actual practical exam dives at the quarry was top-notch and the whole vibe of the team was fun loving, relaxed, and safe. Great team and a pretty extensive inventory in the shop too! If they don’t have it, they can always order it for you! So thankful we chose to get certified through Ski/Scuba!

Great service, nice people. I joined one of their dive trips even though I didnt live in the area or know the divers, and it was fantastic. I have since been on 10 more trips. Terrific dive center.

The team at Ski Scuba is great! The instructors are some of the best I’ve seen. They are skilled and patient. Their passion for the sport is evident. They have a large selection of gear for purchase and they are helpful when making selections. Their rental gear is in good condition and for reasonable rates. I highly recommend Jimmie and his crew!

I went into Ski-Scuba Center today for the first time. I wanted to get full face snorkeling masks for an upcoming trip. Joseph greeted me and was genuinely friendly and very helpful in deciding which mask to get. Of course once I was there I decided I needed fins and other snorkeling related gear. It was a great experience. I always chose local businesses over Amazon when I can. It was a pleasure doing business with them. Thanks Joseph !

We had our daughters birthday party at the pool. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Taylor went above and beyond her duties and helped with our youngest child so we could play with the older kids. I would definitely recommend this place and all of their services. We are already planning to take some classes soon. Thank you for a great time!!

In an attempt to try new things I took an introduction to scuba class which I found in Groupon. The class I took was on a Saturday which was convenient for my work schedule and in a heated pool which helped since it was February when I did it. The instructor went over the equipment, some concepts and basic info before we started the actual in the water part. The instructors were amazing! They were very attentive wanting to make sure everyone was having a good time and still have us safe and comfortable with the equipment. They werent pushy when it came to selling their products which other places seem to do. They told you other classes including scuba certification and equipment is available there for purchase, but not pushy in a car salesman kind of way.So I realized I lost one of my favorite pairs of earrings and I thought it was left there. Not only did they find it and return my call to let me know it was found; but they also mailed it to me with a little note. What an amazing company to go out of their way. In a time when you have to social distance and pretty much stay at home it was appreciated that they took the time to send it to me. When I do want to scuba certify Ill definitely be going back to this great company!

I did my open water certification with Ski Scuba in October 2019. It was a great experience and Jimmy was a phenomenal instructor. The instruction was very good and the focus on safety and how to handle situations when things are not going by the numbers was very good. After it was all over, I felt like I was prepared to be a safe and confident diver. I would recommend Ski Scuba and have since heard from others who I referred say the same things.

My 11yr. old wanted one of the fullface snorkeling masks. I had done a little research and realized that there were alot of fake/knockoffs from Amazon and could potentially be dangerous so I called Ski-Scuba. They were very friendly on the phone and they said they had them in stock. We immediately took a ride to the shop and upon entering we were immediately greeted and helped with finding a mask. They even put one on to make sure it fit properly and performed a quick seal test. The staff was so very friendly and helpful. Wish I was in to scuba so I could support this wonderful local business more. Great experience, great people, thank you Ski-Scuba Center.

My wife and I recently took the open water course here. Jimmie does an amazing job at keeping you engaged and interested. He keeps a great pace throughout the course. In the water he explains things very well and makes sure each individual person is comfortable with what we learn before moving on.The shop has a great selection of equipment. I could spend hours looking at the gadgets they have. Their prices are fair and comparable to online. Plus, when taking the class you can try masks before making a purchase. I tried 3 different mask before finding one I loved, you can’t get that type of customer service online.The equipment that you use is great. The majority of the equipment is aqua lung and is in good shape. The location is convenient and the staff is amazing. All of the instructors are experienced and patient. We are 100% satisfied with the service and products they provide.

My sister and I took the Try Scuba! course because we found a Groupon. It was a great price and they gave us a crash course in their pool. It was really fun and relaxed! I highly recommend anyone who has ever thought about learning to dive to give these guys a try.

Jimmy and his team are top notch. I had a last-minute trip scheduled to Palm Beach and he let me take his class on short notice. In addition he outfitted me with all my gear and was very competitive with the best internet deal I could find. I will not let anyone else to teach my family how dive.

Jimmy and his staff are great to work with! They made me feel very comfortable when getting my certification over a year ago. Me and my fiancé have continued to take classes and trips with them and enjoy being a part of the community they provide! I would highly recommend them!

We just done our try scuba diving class. Our instructor kirk done an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable and very laid back and funny. There was 10 people in our class so we got to spend alot of time in the pool. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking into trying out scuba diving. My husband and i would love to go back and continue our classes to become certified. Top notch people to work with and overall great way to spend a saturday morning.

Popped in for costume add on, left a little more excited about facing cold weather when a dive is envisioned in Belize. P.a d.i. certification never expires, nor does meeting gracious merchants whos care and patience buoyed my spirits this Halloween! #BlackSwan, see feet!

Want to go diving? Your in the wrong state.But dont let that stop you, hop on down to SkiScuba for all your scuba diving needs. Ask about savings when buying sets of equipment, I bought a full snorkel set and paid about as much as I could have for the wet suit alone online.

Water was too cloudy after stormy weather and rain. We returned full tanks, bc and regulators were unused and required no cleanup/soaking. They would not provide any partial refunds or store credit. We cant control the weather was their response.
