I was able to do a refresher, cover a handful of specialties and get several dives in. I know it's not easy running a profitable dive shop and trying to keep everyone happy but this is a good group of instructors, assistants and team who have built a great work dynamic in a very short period. Dave & George were great instructors who I would recommend to anyone. Additional thanks to Carlo, Richard, Chris and Sully for keeping us safe in unfamiliar sites. I intend to dive with them again as I continue my scuba journey.

Dan is not an honest man. We were booked for the Mazatlan eclipse trip and had to cancel due to…read moreflight limitations. We only received 50% of our deposit back even though there is no clear refund policy other than no deposits returned after February 2024, per the website. I called him to find out why we didn't receive our full deposit back and he said that it was policy per the website. I asked him to send me a screen shot of said policy and he refused. There is no such policy and he is just choosing what he wants to refund. This is not ok. I would not trust him with my business.

My experience with Tropical Sails Corp is 100% great!…read more Our friends MaryAnn & Larry recommend we all go on the 1999 Solar Eclipse Gulet Sail trip (mostly motored, as the winds were not in the required direction at that time of year) from Tropical Sails. We did, and we all had the best time! Turkey was an eye-opening, positive experience. We were on the Sultan, which was (is?) a wonderful gulet (yacht) with an expert crew (the cook was fantastic!). The location on azure seas, great food & drink, fun and enlightening shore excursions, and Dan (Tropical Sails) ensured we all enjoyed our entire trip. The itinerary was well thought out, and somewhat flexible... We didn't go on one shore excursion but stayed on the yacht and swam in the indescribably turquoise blue Mediterranean... During the walking tour of Ephesus I walked off to explore several alleyways on my own... Fantastic! For the eclipse we sailed to the center line and had perfectly clear view! One of the highlights of the trip was on the return to Istanbul on a stormy night (a-rockin' & a-rollin') when the Sultan slowed down and stopped (we're all wondering wtf) when a couple guys in a swan-shaped paddle boat heave alongside to toss several bags of bread on board... fresh bread is mandatory for dinner ;) That was a particularly fine dining experience! I fully credit Dan (Tropical Sails Corp) for setting up the cruise and trip, and making it one of the most unforgettably wonderful experiences of my life. p.s., We stayed in Istanbul a few days after the cruise and experienced the great (!) 1999 earthquake in our ~1000- year old hotel... p.p.s., check out these websites for detailed itinerary of the entire trip: http://tropicalsails.com/turkey-gulet-sailing-solar-eclipse-trip-1999/ http://www.photoheck.com/Turkeytour99.html

The great improvement would be to close the store. Have been to this store several times now the…read morelast few years. If you order/pick up in your car, it's great! Inside the store is the horror story. They stand around, while looking at you, and not asking if you need help, or just looking at you. Gun side is not more too bad and you'd be better off just selling guns/ammo/permits. The rest of the store is empty most of time and prices way too high. So I get it
