I give one star for the girl that helped me the first time I came in. However after explaining…read morethat my wallet was stolen with my card inside of it I was told I needed to get My PADI cert number from them so that I could rent a regulator set up and a tank. After spending the day tracking that down finally having house of scuba be the ones that were able to get that info for me, I felt as though because the earlier interaction with the previous employee was positive i would return and rent the gear. Big mistake. Little bit of insight, my regulator stage one and two were in storage and some mice decided to feast on my hoses. Long story short I was in need of a set today so that I could do a recovery job tomorrow morning. After jumping through hoops and tryjng to stay loyal to the original store beyond land adventures. I returned to find some new guy working the desk. He tells me that he needs more than my cert number to be able to rent the gear. He calls the other employee who vouches for me and then asks her if she knows how to input that into the computer to make things work. They have a brief talk and he ends it with I will figure it out. After about five minutes he proceeds to tell me that he can't rent the gear because he has no way to look up my info. I have the PADI app which clearly states that I am certified as a rescue diver. Plus my number. Then I ask him if he could sell me gear and he says no they don't sell gear to anyone not certified. So I ask him if I was new at getting into diving and wanted to be certified with my own gear so that I was trained on how it worked with a professional his response was that they don't do that. i Have never been to any store or bought any dive gear online and been asked for my certification card. So now that I have wasted my whole day finding out the information they asked me for only to be denied at th time that house of scuba or ocean enterprises are closing I get that fake response of I'm sorry so we just can't help you. If you read between the lines it says I don't want to do the work to figure out a way to make this workout for you. . I highly recommend that if you are going to need anything dive related that you look elsewhere because clearly they are not interested in making money. I will tell you one thing I miss the good ole days when Ricks diving locker in Escondido was still around. Rick was always helpful, insightful, and knowledgeable as well as being a great guy overall. It's no Wonder that shops are closing due to internet sales. Today I wasn't even able to get what I needed at a store that carries everything I needed. looks like I am gonna have to go online and get what I need too bad I will prolly miss out on this work today though.

If you're looking for a dive shop that has great instructors and staff, Beyond Land Adventures is it! My wife was worried about me taking my kids in the pool and worse, the ocean, but no need to worry! The instructors and dive guides are super patient and helpful. We started with Chris, who did our two pool days with us, and 1 ocean dive. Because of the rain a couple weeks ago, the rest of the weekend was cut short. They worked with our schedule and we were able to finish our ocean dives this weekend. Chris was super patient and calm, especially with my nervous 16 year old daughter. I was bummed we wouldn't get him as our instructor this weekend until we met Spencer, who was equally as good! He, Lynsey, and Sean were our instructor and guides this weekend. All super patient and amazing people! The other staff back at the shop are equally as great. Had to switch out a couple pieces of equipment we sized wrong. No worries, they were great helping us switch to the correct size. Their shop prices might seem high when you're getting your first bits of equipment, but if you've done your homework, you'll find they're actually about the same price as Amazon and online scuba stores. Yeah, you might get 10% cheaper, but why gamble? BLA will back up everything they sell us Thanks again BLA! Can't wait to do our first scuba in Cozumel over spring break.

I just recently completed my Tec 40, 45, and 50 with Randy. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and…read morealways puts safety first. His primary goal is to bring out the best in his students. One of the things I valued most was that someone would be filming our dives. After each dive we would do a debrief where he would suggest ways to improve buoyancy, trim, equipment placement, and also critiques our handling of critical skills that we were put through. Randy also places a very big emphasis on team diving. During Tec diving you realize the importance of team awareness so that we all go home safely. He always takes the time not only to explain things, but also illustrates why they need to be done a specific way. I highly recommend Randy to obtain your certifications. You will grow so much as a diver under the guidance of this skilled and passionate instructor. I know I have. Thank you Randy.

The boat is small/not many passengers and the crew is extremely attentive to the passengers. I'd only been on one dive boat before as I am recently certified, but my boyfriend has been on many and captained a few and he has never seen a dive boat where the crew are that attentive and helpful. It makes everything fast and means your main focus stay on having fun diving, not fussing over your gear. I felt really spoiled the whole time. The dog Captain is so cute and friendly and you can tell he is very loved and well cared for. Lora was our captain and Chris was our dive master and they were both awesome, knowledgeable, and super friendly. Lora would hang out with the passengers and it felt like you were chatting with a friend. Plenty of snacks and warm beverages and chili to keep you satisfied and hit the spot when you get out of the water. We came from Santa Barbara/Ventura and now I want to rush and get my advanced cert so we can come back and go on their other dive charters!
