I highly recommend Albany Scuba. They skillfully walked me through the process of getting my Open Water Diving Certification. They provided all the needed gear and have an experienced Team that gave me lots of personalized attention. On top of that, they are extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. They are also reasonably priced. Working with Albany Scuba is truly a win, win experience. read more

Albany Scuba is a fantastic dive shop. It does not get more inviting then walking into someone's garage, pulling up a chair and having a one on one conversation with the dive master Steve. He hooked me up in no time, signed me up immediately, and I had a carefree easy experience with the 4 week classes once per week to get PADI Open Water Dive Certified. His fellow teammates that helped out are equally caring and make you feel extremely calm before you embark on breathing underwater for the first time. His office is at his home but he has state of the art equipment and takes you to the community pool for the classes. The open water dive is then up in the Hood Canal in Washington where you spend an amazing weekend hanging out and diving all weekend! Steve is a one of a kind, don't miss out on learning from him and picking his brain! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more
