Jethro’s passion, experience and hospitality is first rate. Even novices like me get treated very well. Other shops should take lessons from the attitudes and service from Blue Warner Hunter…. highly recommend the shop.
These guys are a pain to deal with. It took weeks longer than I was told to get my gun and fins. Jethro (the owner) said he would have it in stock in a few days. After many calls without a call back, I have taken my business elsewhere. They have horrible communication skills. Do not shop here. There are two other shops in Santa Barbara with way better ways of treating and communicating with their customers.
Horrible communication skills. I missed out on surfing the best swell of the season while they had my wetsuit in for 3 weeks to repair a busted seam. Last I was told, the repair was half completed - the seam was supposedly glued but still needed to dry and be stitched - and would be finished in a day or two. I called back after not hearing from them for over a week to learn that the repair was never even started.If you value honesty and/or communication, I suggestion taking your money elsewhere.
Very knowledgeable. Great gear. Also lots of nice things for non-divers.
I bought my son his first real speargun last summer at Blue Water Hunter and he has already taken multiple rock fish, his first yellowtail and 2 halibut, one of them being 15 pounds! This would not have been possible without the help of Blue Water Hunter and their expert staff who gave him a wealth of information and helped with his confidence. Thank You Blue Water Hunter!P.S. Brian Peck should have trunked it or had a backup wettie. That kook is on the SB and Goleta drop in list ha ha ha! Good luck getting waves without at least 1 person in front of you buddy.
Great selection of free diving gear.
Awesome shop, with SUPER helpful staff. Highly Recommend
Walked in on a Saturday without a plan and hoping to do a lobster dive. The owner was tremendously knowledgeable and helpful. He helped me plan a day trip, get my remaining equipment and made it a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this shop right on the marina .
