The instruction team was very organized and available for help. Thanks to the store, thank you, Trish. What a great experience!

From the owner: We are a full service Scuba shop. We carry most well known brands in the Scuba industry, such as…read moreAqualung, Henderson, TUSA, XS Scuba, DUI, Shearwater, and more. Selling a wide range of gear, such as great started regulators such as the Aqualung Helix Pro, to something more top of the line like the Leg3nd regulator, or with dive computers such as Shearwater Tern or Tern tx for Bluetooth compatibility, up to the technology impressive Perdix 2. From thin 3mm Aqualung shorties and wetsuits for outdoor water sports or diving in warmer climates, to thick 7mm Henderson Thermoprene wetsuits to help brace you for the cold California waters. Wide selection of styles, colors, and price ranges for masks such as the TUSA Paragon, to simple snorkeling kits like Aqualung's Hero set. We have a fully stocked rental department as well, with Aqualung Pro HD BCDs, Helix Pro regulators, Thermoprene suits and hooded vests, with a large supply of Steel 72 tanks, with other sized tanks such as HP100s available upon request. We have our own compressor and gas blending station complete with a large bank of compressed air on standby for quick air fills. Our Gas Blending station allows us to fill any mix you'd like for Nitrox and Trimix. We even have a couple adapters to fill not standard tanks, such as most Airsoft tanks. We have a pool on site that's constantly heated to 80 degrees and is 12 feet deep, perfect for Scuba classes. We also service most gear.

I had a great experience at Pinnacles Dive Center! Just like one of the reviewers below, I chose…read morePDC because of a Groupon offer which made getting certified extremely affordable. Most wouldn't enjoy going up to Novato if they lived in the South Bay (aka me) but PDC made it extremely easy for me to get my study materials, plan a day to take the test, and do the accelerated pool course in one day to avoid driving back and forth. Shoutout to the store employees, management (Rick), and Mitch who was our main scuba diving instructor were all extremely professional and knew the ins and out of teaching a scuba diving noobie. They also have tons of fun events where students or scuba divers can join in on.

He even pointed out that my Octo was missing an exhaust cover, and offered to mail me the part as I live in the Bay Area. I got the part a week later in the mail, while other dive shops couldn't order one for me. I would definitely go back when I'm in the area or consider signing up a friend for a PADI course.

I inquired about swim lessons for my young children back in May. The staff were very helpful and…read moreinformative on the phone. They stated that they do not allow parents around the pool during their child's swim lessons until the very last lesson, but let me know there is a viewing area where I would be able to watch. I went down in person and again had a great experience with their staff, but was very disappointed to find that the "viewing area" was actually located outside and you could only see your child through a window which was tinted. So unless you stuck your face directly up against the glass you weren't able to see anything. I was very uncomfortable with this and decided this was not the place for us. I'm sure they have very well trained staff, but we all know accidents happen. For this reason I chose to take my business elsewhere.

Well, this place just gets worse every time I show up there. Took my tanks (which I bought from…read morethem ) in to get filled and I have a free air Fill card, which they would not accept even though it was issued from them. They are condescending and disrespectful trying to make an excuse as to why they will not honor their own fill card. I will never do business here ever again. Prices are high, they don't acknowledge their own fill cards, The place is just a disaster and getting worse. Another business owner not listening to customers and listening to lies by the incompetent staff. This company doesn't have my cell phone number, but do have my last name. She found that, no problem. Not sure what story they told the owner, but it was not truthful. $35.00 for a tank visual inspection is the highest in the Bay Area. We'll go to Pleasanton for $25 with a free air fill. Nothing is free.

Felt extremely comfortable in the water with him the entire time. He was extremely calm, encouraging, knowledgeable and just genuinely a great guy, fun to be around. We did the confined dives in the owners pool in Folsom, the open water dives we completed in Monterey. Another instructor, Jesse, joined us on the Monterey dives, equally fantastic instructor! Each time we visited the shop, the staff were very friendly, informed, and helpful. The owner Carly was a great source of info on dive gear as well and was very prompt getting us all the info for set up and completion of the course. Ultimately we completed the course feeling competent in the skills needed to dive. Would HIGHLY recommend Fisheye for your scuba courses!!

The trip planning process from beginning to end was seamlessly arranged by Curtis and Carly. The St. Lucia resort facility and their dive staff were professional and very accommodating to any of our group needs. Carly and Curtis are very hands on, even during our stay. Customer service is #1 and I witnessed their commitment first hand. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a dive shop, getting certified or wanting to dive with a great group of people, of varying dive experience, come to FishEye scuba for all your one stop needs. All is welcomed here. I will continue to take my future dive trips with this dynamic duo! Thank you Carly and Curt for a memorable, relaxing trip.

Here are three reasons you should choose Pro Scuba Dive Center to get certified, even if there are…read morecloser shops to you. 1. NAUI. The three most popular certification agencies are PADI, SSI, and NAUI. All three, and others, are recognized worldwide. NAUI's training is known to be the most thorough of the big three. NAUI is a non-profit, so they're not interested in certifying as many divers as possible just because it's their business model. PADI is the largest certification agency, but to be blunt they're just not respected. If you look in the right places, you'll find tons of memes making fun of PADI. Not so with NAUI and SSI. Some PADI divers are excellent, but many are not. NAUI will more likely make you a good diver. I'd be reluctant to dive with a random PADI buddy who got certified at a resort, but I'd be much more confident buddying up with someone from NAUI. An analogy: Supercuts gives tons of haircuts, but if you really want something nice you'll probably book a stylist in a salon. You can't go wrong with NAUI. If you cut corners and go elsewhere, you'll probably be jealous of NAUI divers who have better training than you. 2. Scubapro. Pro Scuba Dive Center is a Scubapro Platinum shop. This means they specialize in that one brand. Luckily, Scubapro is a premium brand and you can't go wrong with it. There are other premium brands, and you can get by with non-premium brands too. However, if you're the kind of person who wants high-end equipment, Scubapro should be on your short list. Bonus: the rental gear you use in your class will be Scubapro. Other shops probably won't rent you stuff this good. 3. David and Cheryl. These folks just love diving, love talking about diving, and they really care about the state of the industry. They have high standards and want to do things the right way. Their shop is clean and orderly. They take good care of their rental equipment. They're wonderful people. Bonus: the shop has Corgis! Don't wait until the last minute before a vacation to get certified. That will limit your options. Get certified 6 months in advance and you'll have the best experience.
