They have an underwater rope course you can use to navigate from one side to the other. The waters color and clarity come from its origin. It was originally a Limestone Rock Quarry. Spring water has filled it up making this a good dive location. Another feature I found to be very cool for instructors is the large underwater decks. These are part of the course and make a great place to perform dive skills without disturbing the silt on the bottom. My dive site had an easy entry and exit. The depth ranges depending on the amount of rain throughout the year. This is a great place to teach new students, practice your skills, or train as a dive team. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Being this was my first time here they answered all of my questions.

I have always been curious about this place. Today I finally got the chance to go. I am not a diver…read moreso my perspective is limited to swimming. 1. I kept thinking when I was there that the city of Huntsville or some wealthy person should buy this place and fix it up. It has so much potential. Right now it is "rustic". Roads unpaved, covered picnic areas falling apart. It's a shame. 2. The water itself is like lake water. It's ok but not as lovely as pictures seen online. I kept thinking...at least no alligators! The term BLUE lagoon is misleading. 3. I understand that this is primarily a scuba diving place. But the attitude in phone calls and the employees was like you were second class Citizen if you were a "swimmer". Finally, I was the only one there! I guess $30 is way too much for what you get here. I enjoyed my swim but I will not return is

Brady is a patient and competent instructor who really owns the subject, gives clear instruction and expectation on skills required to acquired. I have not only completed my PADI Rescue Diver certification with TSA but have come back again and again to continue my development. Rescue Diver, Search and Recovery, Nitrox, etc. If you are reading this - stop scrolling, stop trolling, and book a class with TSA!

Brady is dedicated to what he loves, - and that is diving and his students. You will get hands-on, small group attention from these guys across the board. They will NOT send you into the world without the skills and confidence you need to succeed and be a safe and conservative diver. Brady is a wealth of knowledge with nearly 3,000 dives, and he takes considerable time to share (very) important information from that experience that you won't receive from 'bigger' shops, or even the PADI courses themselves. His calm and patient demeanor will help you achieve the skill and confidence you need in order to have a safe and enjoyable experience. BONUS 1 - TX SCUBA ACADEMY's rates are very reasonable (probably the lowest I have seen) BONUS 2 - Brady is also a Certified Travel Agent and can help you book and plan trips No question - these guys are FIVE STARS! BOOK IT !!

Dustin Ainsworth answered my first call, presented a solution and worked with us to get my husband and me in for a refresher class and dive in a timely fashion. Morgan was our Divemaster and she was INCREDIBLY patient, reassuring, fun and professional. Exactly what I needed! She is excellent! I can't say enough about how prompt, professional and perfect the entire team at Texas Scuba at Blue Lagoon was to work with! I HIGHLY recommend the refresher courses, check off dives and/or full certification courses. In addition to our superior experience, our daughter was supposed to come with her scuba class at TAMU and at the last minute the divemaster in College Station that was going to join the class needed to cancel. I reached out to Dustin and he reached out to his top notch team and they were able to get three of the students in so they could complete their full certification as they had hoped. Needless to say, everyone was thrilled to cross the finish line and appreciative of the service Dustin and team provided. Thank you!

They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed before we went off by ourselves. It looks like they have a lot of group dives and several SSI courses every month. The store carries everything one would need. For those looking to test different gear, I could only see the Mares brand dive gear. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a place to learn how to scuba dive, get more certs, or just looking for a friendly dive community!

Scuba lessons are very affordable and my sage advice from trying to learn on split fins that were too flimsy, a leaking mask that didn't fit my pointed little head, and a leaking snorkel that tried to drown me. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE that is trying to help you save money. I immediately ordered my own fins, mask, and snorkel as soon as I knew what I needed. Please consult Amy...the best! Can't help but love her. Chris is awesome too. You will be taught individually (scuba), and they teach swimming for any age both individually or in small groups, all in a beautiful enclosed heated pool! And local! I was so thrilled and thankful to find them when I chose to pick up Scuba diving. If you like flying under water, following correct procedures for your own safety, willing to learn a new exciting sport working with amazing dive masters, somewhat physically able, can float easily and swim, love the water, able to pursue your new expensive habit, will always have a dive buddy, then this is the place to start and finish your Scuba Open Water Certification(s). They also have additional instructors (see website). I met three of them who certified me for both Dive 3 and 4...only 4 open water dives required, performing different skills proficiently each dive. If you are not able to perform all of them correctly, practice, get good at it, and retake the Dive you needed help with on another day. I was not charged extra for a retake). Go live, enjoy, scuba with new friends, travel when you can, laugh much, and have a blast experiencing your new sport! And learn from a professional school teacher as well as a Professional Dive Master that will help you along the way learning the skills you will need. Amy rocks as well as Chris.

Very flexible with our schedules, from meeting with us for the first time, to pool time. Once we had signed up with ASU, we started our PADi online course. Once all the chapters and tests were completed the "second" phase of pool "hands-on training" started. We met with Adam at an amazing indoor pool facility. Went over all safety checks, equipment, signals, etc... We did several days of pool exercises, learned everything from safety, our equipment (BCD, Mask, Computer, etc), how to clear our mask underwater, buoyancy, assisting your "buddy" in case of an emergency, equalizing (hardest to overcome for me), pressures, etc... Adam really is the best instructor we could have ever asked for! He worked really hard until we understood what he was teaching/showing us and over all until we accomplished what we needed to learn. Safety is top priority for him. We also, bought all of our equipment from Adam. FYI - don't call your MASK, goggles!!!
