Patience of a saint! From the beginning to the end, 12ft pool to 60ft quarry for my open water diver certification, they gave me the time and space to really be comfortable and learn in the best environment. Thank you so much for helping me find my footing (or neutral buoyancy) to truly enjoy scuba diving and my journey to "think like a diver".

He would take his time and not rush me, yet would make sure I could perform the skills needed. Sarah is very experienced and has a very calm way of teaching. She made my last dive extremely smooth. They also have the best pricing in the Charlotte area. I HIGHLY recommend!

I wish I would have failed my certification so I can do it all over again!…read more I loved every minute of my certification. I have a busy schedule, so I appreciated the ability to complete the online learning on my own time, at my own pace. And do the pool dives in the middle of a weekday. Ben was incredibly helpful for my pool and open water dives. Obviously, he knows a ton about scuba. He always made sure I felt comfortable and safe during each of our dives. He took the knowledge I came in with and built from there. Whenever I struggled with a skill he knew how to aid and explain based on my knowledge and learning style. On my open water certification trip I had the opportunity to meet other divers from recently certified to seasoned veterans. I look forward to going on more dive trips and obtaining more certifications from Athens Scuba!
