I love Aqua Ventures! I started my certification about a year ago with a different store that is closer to home. I had an awful experience there and decided I did not feel comfortable taking my open water test with them (not the written one, the actual dive at the quarry). So, I went looking for a new place and stumbled upon Aqua Ventures. Although they were pretty far from home, I decided to give it a shot because through emailing Mike Eversmier (the owner) back and forth I could tell these people were really nice, really accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable of scuba. I got a referral to do my testing with them and I also attended a class to update myself before the open water dive in the quarry. I am SO HAPPY I did that! Even in the last class I attended with Ed Cluster they taught me things I did not already know and I feel very comfortable and confident in the water thanks to them! I would recommend Aqua Ventures to anyone who is interested in diving, even if you just want to ask someone a few questions. They are friendly, supportive, experienced, and most importantly, they are honest with you. If I ever decide to take another class or if I need new equipment there is no doubt in my mind I will go to them. read more
