Annie is patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the sport! She taught me things I never learned, and the one-on-one experience allowed her to personalize the training specifically to me. The most helpful skills she went over (that were never taught in my open ocean course under a different dive master) were perfecting neutral buoyancy and how to weight properly. I had been taught to wear way too much weight! She keeps things simple, intuitive and allows you to relax and just have fun. I know she has a passion for sharing the experience of breathing underwater with anyone and everyone, and this passion exudes from every pore. I also went on a dive trip that Annie coordinated, and it was so much fun! The trip was well planned, and stocked full of extra lessons between dives about diving, photography, travel, marine life... you name it! This was a four day trip and she really made the most of the time she had with us. I could tell Annie just loves to teach, and she has so much knowledge to share. I am not a professional photographer, but her tips even helped me take great underwater photos with my point and shoot camera. I think she knows just about anything and everything you would ever want to know concerning diving, traveling and more! She has been all over the world diving, and she is just inspirational to be around because she is all about achieving your dreams! Well thanks to Annie, I HAVE achieved my dreams and I am now working full time in a career that includes diving. I could not have made it as far as I have without her. Annie is one of my most valued mentors, and I encourage anyone considering learning to dive or furthering their dive experience to do it through Annie!! I would definitely love to go on more adventures with her!

A friend told us about this camp and we mulled it over with our son. He wanted to go so he could meet people and NOT be bored all summer. We signed him up for 1/2 week and HE LOVED IT!

The entire staff were so friendly and welcoming, they made his experience one to remember! Since the summer camp, he also signed up for the Scuba Camp (same location) and finished with his Advanced Certification in Dry Suit Diving. He has made a lot of lifetime friends at this camp!

If you are interested in scuba certification in the Seattle area, give these folks a try.

As a side note, August diving in Lake Washington is just fine - warm water and calm conditions.

We had a trip with some diving planned shortly after completing our certification here and I felt like I was really well prepared. Great customer service too. All your gear is provided with the open water certification course so you don't have to pay for rentals on top of it. Brad also recommended gear for my fiancé and I when we were ready to buy and I trusted his recommendations. There was no upselling, just honest recommendations based on experience and what we said we wanted. We're hooked on diving now so we'll definitely be coming back and doing more courses here!

In addition to a new regulator setup, I was fitted for an Aqua Lung BC. Unfortunately, I was fitted incorrectly for the BC. During my first Dive, I could not get the waist straps of the BC tight enough and it kept shifting on me. I did some research and found out that the waist straps on this BC are interchangeable. I called the Seattle store and explained the situation to a saleswoman. I asked if they could SELL me the correct size waist straps at a discount, since I was initially sold the wrong size. I was not asking for a refund, or a replacement or anything that would actually cost them money. I could not believe how rudely she responded. No apathy, no apology for the incorrect fitting, just "Too bad, so sad" was the reply. Needless to say, I will never patronize their shop again, and will encourage all my dive buddies to shop elsewhere.

In fact, we were diving the Alki site in Seattle and had a chance to catch up with them later in the summer and they were just as kind and helpful in the States as they were while traveling. They are a professional, supportive and safe shop - we highly recommend them for your diving and dive travel needs.

From my first interaction with Scott and his Team I found them to be warm, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They provided all the necessary background and planning information so I felt prepared and ready. The GP team was fantastic also. The accommodations are rustic but comfortable. The food was phenomenal. Truly an exceptional chef. I would say I almost enjoyed the topside experience as much as the diving. The location felt special in the fact that it was remote and you hardly saw any other boats or people. We saw whales, eagles, otters and sea wolves (which was particularly special). I wore my trilaminate dry suit, a 10 mm hood, dry gloves, a Fourth Element Halo AR jumpsuit with a heated vest and was comfortable. I will say I loved the elevator on the boat! I enjoyed the diving but will say as an older diver, seeing the macro life pointed out by the excellent dive guide, Xuanni, was a bit challenging. I would probably recommend a magnifying glass of some type if up-close vision is an issue. But the macro life is plentiful and very unique. Overall I highly recommend Seattle Dive Tours and the GP experience.
