    My son with Divemaster Carl
    Aimee Z.

    Highly recommend Dive World to get certified. The shop is is super helpful if you need gear. After having a so-so experience with my older son at a different shop, we used Dive World for my younger son. He had Carl as his instructor and let me tell you, Carl is the most patient human being on the planet. He takes safety seriously so I would recommend him to anyone who is apprehensive. I felt completely safe having him take my 10 year old kid and they worked on the skills until they were satisfied that he knew how to do them all effectively. Again I Highly recommend Carl and Dive world.

    Great place to begin your journey into the scuba diving world! The staff is very friendly and professional! I highly recommend Dive World Austin, regardless of age!! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTdn8an9t/?k=1

    My awesome class with Master Scuba Diver Trainer Ashley
    Jean R.

    I recently took the open water scuba certification course with Master Scuba Diver Trainer Instructor Ashley. It WAS AMAZING!!! She was very professional, fun and knowledgeable. With the training she provided, I felt confident and safe completing my dive assessments. It could not have gone any better! I highly recommend getting certified through Dive World and would strongly encourage requesting Ashley as the instructor. She is the BEST!

    What an amazing team and company to connect with. I was looking to grow my skills as a diver and I…read moream fortunate to have found such a great dive crew to learn from. Brady is a patient and competent instructor who really owns the subject, gives clear instruction and expectation on skills required to acquired. I have not only completed my PADI Rescue Diver certification with TSA but have come back again and again to continue my development. Rescue Diver, Search and Recovery, Nitrox, etc. If you are reading this - stop scrolling, stop trolling, and book a class with TSA!

    I just finished 'open water' and 'enriched air' certifications with Brady and the staff at Texas…read moreScuba Academy, and I am telling you without a doubt you cannot receive better training and instruction than this. Brady is dedicated to what he loves, - and that is diving and his students. You will get hands-on, small group attention from these guys across the board. They will NOT send you into the world without the skills and confidence you need to succeed and be a safe and conservative diver. Brady is a wealth of knowledge with nearly 3,000 dives, and he takes considerable time to share (very) important information from that experience that you won't receive from 'bigger' shops, or even the PADI courses themselves. His calm and patient demeanor will help you achieve the skill and confidence you need in order to have a safe and enjoyable experience. BONUS 1 - TX SCUBA ACADEMY's rates are very reasonable (probably the lowest I have seen) BONUS 2 - Brady is also a Certified Travel Agent and can help you book and plan trips No question - these guys are FIVE STARS! BOOK IT !!

    We have an amazing training center right here in Killeen. Project Scuba teaches all ages (must be…read more10) for scuba. I am 72 years young and am a Certified Open Water Scuba Diver. Scuba lessons are very affordable and my sage advice from trying to learn on split fins that were too flimsy, a leaking mask that didn't fit my pointed little head, and a leaking snorkel that tried to drown me. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE that is trying to help you save money. I immediately ordered my own fins, mask, and snorkel as soon as I knew what I needed. Please consult Amy...the best! Can't help but love her. Chris is awesome too. You will be taught individually (scuba), and they teach swimming for any age both individually or in small groups, all in a beautiful enclosed heated pool! And local! I was so thrilled and thankful to find them when I chose to pick up Scuba diving. If you like flying under water, following correct procedures for your own safety, willing to learn a new exciting sport working with amazing dive masters, somewhat physically able, can float easily and swim, love the water, able to pursue your new expensive habit, will always have a dive buddy, then this is the place to start and finish your Scuba Open Water Certification(s). They also have additional instructors (see website). I met three of them who certified me for both Dive 3 and 4...only 4 open water dives required, performing different skills proficiently each dive. If you are not able to perform all of them correctly, practice, get good at it, and retake the Dive you needed help with on another day. I was not charged extra for a retake). Go live, enjoy, scuba with new friends, travel when you can, laugh much, and have a blast experiencing your new sport! And learn from a professional school teacher as well as a Professional Dive Master that will help you along the way learning the skills you will need. Amy rocks as well as Chris.

    I was here for the famed (infamous?) Texas Eclipse Festival with 30,000-40,000 others. While the…read morefestival itself had some problems with organization that were completely unrelated to the ranch itself, I enjoyed my experience here quite a lot. There are some beautiful overlooks, a nice quarry lake for cooling off (although who knows how clean the water is, if livestock use it), and an overall great away-from-it-all vibe. I read that they use this ranch for mountain biking and I believe it. The hills are nothing to mess around with. Hiking will require quite a bit of up and down. Also, the dust was baaaaaaad. Come prepared with a mask or bandana if you are at all sensitive to dust. Other than that, it seems like a beautiful spot for recreating in the TX Hill Country.

The staff are nice when you can find them and their facilities are decent considering the rustic, primitive facade it's boasting. A five star rating would require that the 10pm quiet hours were upheld by staff and patrons were held accountable for things such as trash and site cleanup. Both nights spent so was up late listening to awful awful language from campers across the lake till 3am. Loud obnoxious music from all angles and to top it off -- generators. 3am is not a dramatization either. There was a one-wheel festival taking place and it brought along some unsavory and rude mannered patrons. The site I chose was across the lake near the tower in order to avoid the crowds and not hit any "floaters" while biking. My site was littered with garbage and food scraps from whoever was there before I arrived. Otherwise. I had a great time.

    I found this place just a few months after they had opened, when I was searching for a way to get…read moreback in the water after a 10 year hiatus. I was initially certified in HI, but I never felt very confident in the water, nor did I have a trusted dive buddy. From the minute I spoke to David on the phone, I knew immediately he was not trying to "sell me" on anything, but rather, he was imparting his passion for being out in the water and sharing his knowledge and years of diving experience. When I explained my hesitation and my previous experience with a shady dive shop, he quickly validated my concerns and assured me that safety is their top priority. He quickly put me at ease, and I realized that I needed to get back in the water! He and Loyda took me under their wing and helped me conquer my anxieties with the utmost patience, while ensuring that I had the confidence and skills that I needed to continue to progress. No dive buddy? No problem. David and Loyda are more than incredible instructors and shop owners, they also make themselves available as dive buddies -especially for those of us with (self admitted) high anxiety‍ But freshen up on your dance moves, because the "Shack Boogie" is a required and sought after skill for certification SA Scuba Shack is committed to customer service as well as customer satisfaction. They host different social events and monthly mixers to further encourage divers from all over the city to get to know each other, which for me, helps to build that circle of trust when you are looking to find a good dive buddy. They are also super flexible and they were able to work in an open water certification for my newest dive buddy, just days before we travelled to Greece where we got married and spent our first couple of hours under water together! Now THAT is some serious dedication and love for your customers The Shack also plans various dive excursions both locally, and some that require a passport for those feeling even more adventurous. At any given time, you just say the word, and you can even grab an extra certification during any of the trips that you book through the shop. I am excited to say that my husband and I have planned our first international trip with SA Scuba Shack, where we will be finalizing our requirements with David, and we will be coming home from Cozumel as master divers! Just another huge testament to their commitment to their customers Whether you are just checking something off your bucket list, or you are looking for a new adventurous hobby, I highly recommend SA Scuba Shack! I have had the pleasure of watching them grow over the last several years, and each and every person on staff is committed to the same excellent service, as David and Loyda. You will not be disappointed!
