Horrible Customer Service…read more I went in last week to sign up for a snorkelling class. I showed up right when they opened. I was first greeted by a young man. When I asked to sign up for the class, he said he had to ask the older man since he was new. The older man came out and I started to explain what class I wanted to sign up for. His cell phone rang and he picked up he call. I could hear he was talking about personal stuff. I could not believe he just kept talking when I was standing there. He obviously did not care about me as a customer. I could tell the young man was uncomfortable as the older man just kept talking on his cell phone. I will never come back to this place even though the reason I tried this place was because of the mostly positive reviews.

Just got back from a long tough but rewarding experience this weekend. I have wanted to learn to…read morescuba dive for several years and finally took the plunge (no pun intended). I signed up with Chesapeake Bay Dive Center and it was the best thing I have ever done. The instructors are amazing the staff is unbelievably knowledgeable and friendly and the owners are some of the best people you'll ever meet. Instructor Mike taught us all the classroom and Pool portions step-by-step then we were joined at the lake by instructor Sam. Between the two instructors we felt safe and knew we were learning everything we need to know to become competent divers. I highly recommend the shop if you want to learn to scuba dive.

So happy that I chose this shop to use for my certification. There were other options but after…read morecareful consideration and talking to numerous divers my husband and I chose CBDC. and we are so glad we did. You will not find a dive show with more knowledgeable instructors or a better selection of equipment. They saw in me the desire to learn to dive and enjoy the beautiful world beneath the surface, so when I started to doubt my ability and almost quit, they took extra time and attention to help me in so many ways. I know I found not only the best instructors but wonderful dive buddies. Thanks Bob and Malena for showing me I could achieve this goal.

Like many dive shops, Scuba Commander is owned and operated by people who are passionate about…read morediving. It's not hard to get into a discussion about favorite spots, photography, or any other subject around diving. I went in to pick up a lavacore shirt for under my 3mm suit and the had plenty of them in stock in my size. Shop is brand new, brightly lit, festooned with pictures taken by the proprietors and freshly painted! Complete with changing rooms and a class room for teaching PADI certifications. Only two minor misses (one which is being corrected soon, so if this review is a little old, disregard the first), they currently can't do Nitrox and they don't have a pool on-site. They are contracted to do classes with a local university pool, so for getting your certifications it's absolutely a win, but if you just want to try out your new BCD before going on a boat dive, it might be a little more complicated. This is a great addition to Chesapeake and will save many folks a 40 minute drive to other shops in the area. Plus, with planned dive trips in the future, I think Scuba Commander has a bright future ahead of it.

It cost 3x what I have paid in the past, the staff was not friendly or knowledgable. They gave me a time estimate of 3 weeks ( which is normal) but when I called to see if they were done after three weeks they said 3-4. They also sent my equipment off premises without telling me. This is after I called ahead and asked if their shop could work on the brand and type of reg I have. When I asked where my gear was the guy immediately put me on hold and transferred me to another woman who was rude and tried to tell that no shop in the country works on regulators on site. This shop is overpriced, incompetent, and seem much more interested in selling crappy jewelry than in scuba diving. If you are in the area go to Lynnhaven Dive Center in Virginia Beach.
