I thoroughly enjoyed my Open Water training with Tim & Jim because they made everything so relatable so everyone could grasp all the important info. Not only that, but we also met the other dive shop staff while we were completing our Open Water dives at Mammoth Lake and I feel as if I've entered into a whole new world of good friends who share the same interests. I highly recommend Divetech to anyone who is looking for a great Dive Shop or is considering giving this scuba thing a try... You'll never regret opening the doors to this exciting underwater world and you'll have great New friends here to share your experiences with It's never too late! I've wanted to do this since I was 14 and I'm 56 now!

Even though my child is just 5 years old, He takes time every week to greet her and get an update on how school is going and how her week is going before starting class. In doing that, he shows her that she is important to him . It gives her trust in him and more confidence in herself. Great job Joshua !!!

I took the lifeguard certification at Gigglin' Marlin for Red Cross and I had no IDEA what I was…read moregetting myself into. The shop staff was nice and respectable and they loved their jobs. The instructor on the other hand, was unfocused, unwilling to get into the water, belittled us every chance he got, and learned nothing from him but to relax. There were moments where he left a class of nine students to teach a overlapping swim lesson... for an hour. This is just one instance where he left us unattended. The only reason we passed was a student was getting her certification and she was knowledgeable in the water. I wish no one this abominable experience, unless they train some new instructors and made sure that they did their job well instead of taking a back seat.

I recently got my PADI open water certification here. The instructors Doug and Juan get 5 stars in…read moremy opinion. They were extremely friendly, knowledgable, passionate and safety oriented. Unfortunately there were too many rental equipment issues. During the first non-pool (lake) dive my tank started gushing air uncontrollably right before jumping off the dock. This was apparently due to a busted O-ring. I understand things happen but this was extremely disconcerting as I was about to enter the water for my first "real" dive. Other people in my small group had issues as well, including someone who had a leaking secondary air regulator. This was inconvenient for the PADI skills drills (practicing switching to secondary air) but would've been a real danger if there was an actual emergency underwater. I also don't understand why they require you to buy weights for the PADI course. I just assumed that it's something all divers need to have because I didn't know otherwise, but in reality I'll never use them again because use of dive weights is included in the cost of virtually all recreational excursions. No one travels on vacation with 10-20lbs of weights in their suitcase. I spent ~$150 on weights when they could've just rented them to me. On a positive note, the shop staff was very patient taking the time to help me find the perfect fitting mask, fins, etc. If this place is convenient to you I recommend it due to the quality instructors, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to take classes here. And if you do, definitely look to buy used or cheap dive weights elsewhere because a weight is a weight and you'll never use them after the class.

I have my daughter in many activities and this experience was best in class with Jeff & Chris @ Maximum Scuba. They made it fun, educational and still got across the seriousness and importance of the key aspects of scuba diving. They had students performing all kinds of skills over and above what is required solely to help them learn and build confidence to face whatever they may while diving. With me as an experienced diver, they let me stay with her the entire time in the pool and participate in whatever I wanted. They could not have been more accommodating to me if they tried and it meant a lot. Unfortunately in today's society finding really good experiences can be hit or miss based on the folks passion and commitment to providing a memorable experience. I can assure you, these guys are setting the standard and for that I am truly grateful, and would recommend anyone interested in diving to give Maximum scuba a try.

From being extremely knowledgeable, to extremely patient! Very kind, humble and a sense of openness, to even the most unlikely questions that we had, from just being curious and new at scuba.... Very flexible with our schedules, from meeting with us for the first time, to pool time. Once we had signed up with ASU, we started our PADi online course. Once all the chapters and tests were completed the "second" phase of pool "hands-on training" started. We met with Adam at an amazing indoor pool facility. Went over all safety checks, equipment, signals, etc... We did several days of pool exercises, learned everything from safety, our equipment (BCD, Mask, Computer, etc), how to clear our mask underwater, buoyancy, assisting your "buddy" in case of an emergency, equalizing (hardest to overcome for me), pressures, etc... Adam really is the best instructor we could have ever asked for! He worked really hard until we understood what he was teaching/showing us and over all until we accomplished what we needed to learn. Safety is top priority for him. We also, bought all of our equipment from Adam. FYI - don't call your MASK, goggles!!!

The skills are practiced on land and in the water they are both very thorough and make sure you are comfortable before moving on with the training. They will answer questions about gear and recommend the best fit for you. However I never felt pressured to buy any gear since the gear is included with the training. I asked about places to dive with while travelling to Mexico and honduras and got some excellent recommendations. These guys are laid back and i would recommend this shop to anyone who is looking to get certified.

Won't shop here again. The owner responded on google, making fun of my house/living situation, which shows a lot of class on their part. Response to owner: I just looked through my emails again, including my spam folder and see no mention requesting the use of paypal until AFTER one week had passed and I sent multiple emails requesting a response to my order being canceled. The cancelation just says "Order #7000 was canceled because of unforeseen circumstances and your payment has been voided." with no further details. He feels the need to lie for some reason. And I live in that 'run down trailer', frankly rude to judge someone's property or living conditions for absolutely no reason.
