I am so belated in this review, as I did my pool sessions back in March with Thor. I am reminded…read morethat it was still outstanding because I am headed to YayScuba with my partner to manage his bottles now. I suggested he call them because I had such a positive experience and then realized I have only been sharing that with friends and family instead of in formal review. I was lucky enough to be Thor's solo student during my sessions and he did everything possible to make me comfortable. All of the skills were very personalized and he is very experienced and knowledgeable. Even more important, he was an excellent teacher. He was very patient and was quick to repeat skills that I misunderstood or was struggling with. The scuba world is very male dominated, but I was never the only female in the pool nor was I ever made to feel less capable than the male students doing a refresher course. Thor made the skills fun and he was meticulous about making sure I understood and could safely execute each one. I cannot recommend the shop or Thor enough to anyone starting out, but especially to women entering the water.

YAY Scuba diving courses was an enjoyable experience for my 11 year old son. The instructor Thor…read morewas patient, understanding and informative about teaching the skills and experience of scuba diving for a beginner. My son was anxious and Thor's encouraging teaching style allowed my son to learn, feel confident and do well in this course. By the end of the class, my son had so much fun and I felt comfortable with course. I highly recommend taking classes with YAY Scuba diving. We will be back for the next level of scuba diving classes in the spring!

It went in on a Thursday. Diver came out on a holiday, at their normal rate, and assured me he could find it. I thought he was smoking something or deluded, because it was lost in 24 feet of water in the infamously filthy (yet getting better thanks to some environmental efforts) Baltimore Inner Harbor. He was in the water for maybe half an hour before he surfaced. "Is this it?" He asked as he handed my ring to me. Thoroughly professional. Personable. Efficient. Reasonable rate. If it goes in the water and you want it back, call KB Diver.

Friendly, very helpful staff. Great selection of both new and used gear…read more I look forward to future dives with them!

Then I found out I didn't need the items and tried to return the stuff the next day only to be told they have a no return store policy. I felt very miss lead and will never shop they again. Bottom Line: Don't shop at Divers Den they are not to be trusted. For your diving needs use Sea Colony Aqua Sports they are very nice and they have a very reasonable return policy.

The owners have been diving more then most people alive. I absolutely love this shop! Great atmosphere every time I walk in. Not sure of what staff changes occurred where people had issues in the past but that's not the case presently.

I made the call to Kyle, I have a towing subscription with him, and within 15 min we were on our way to search for my boat and son. Because of Kyle's expertise, it was in the end a safe and secure rescue and tow. Two hours later we were back at the marina. After that Kyle hung the boat in the crane, making sure that nothing can go wrong overnight and at 11.30pm, we all went home. He is my man for water security. A no-nonsense guy. If you need the safety and security of a local guy, give Kyle a call.

Chesapeake Marine is locally owned and operated. Our captains have limitless knowledge of the bay, allowing our customers to feel comfort in knowing their boating needs are being met. We pride ourselves in offering our customers the quickest response times provided by the fastest boats on the bay.

They offer kayaks (single and tandem), paddleboards, and more. For $25, I rented a single kayak for an hour and enjoyed exploring some more of the Hammerman beach shoreline and the bay. (You can rent for longer than a hour as well, but that's all I had time for yesterday!) You have to pay to enter the park itself ($3 for state residents, $5 for out of state residents), but you can enjoy the park and then also rent a kayak or a paddleboard! Great way to explore some of the bay!

How is it that after all my years in Baltimore I just learned about this place? My wife and I have…read morebeen looking for new outdoor activities during the summer of COVID and while exploring Hammerman beach we saw Eastern. Prices on their website looked very reasonable so we decided to give it a try. Renting a Hobie Cat from here is extremely easy. I had to pass a quick check out and then it was $40 to rent a Hobie Wave for an hour. There's no setup required, you just push it off of the beach and you're good to go. I'd never sailed a catamaran before but they are fun little boats and the Gunpowder River is a very nice area to tool around in. One thing that I wish Eastern would do is make their website/facebook page a little more helpful. The first time we tried to do a cat rental we came here on a Friday evening, only to learn that they only rent the Hobies on Saturdays and Sundays. I'd tried calling their phone number a couple of times as well but it always went straight to voicemail. I'm glad that I discovered them though and my wife and I are already discussing getting a season pass next summer. Edit: Within a few minutes of my review posting I was contacted by the owner to check what phone numbers I had called. Apparently they also do rent the Hobies during weekdays in September this year, not sure what the source of the confusion there was. Still, I was extremely impressed by the prompt response and attention to good customer service.

Is it worth the 1.5 hour drive? Yes. Does this facility need…read morean upgrade? Yes. The things we liked about it: It was a lot of fun, water was clean, floats were large and varied with lots of different activities for the kids to do for all ages, plenty of shade and picnic tables, and beach loungers available. The things we didn't like: Bathhouse was gross, snack shack is unreliable-make sure you bring your own food, grounds were unkempt. If you pay for the observer fee, you're not allowed on the dock. I thought this was unfair. I wasn't going in the water, just wanted to take some photos, but they wouldn't allow it. I did have a life jacket on. With the exception of paddleboard yoga, they are open to organized groups only. We came with our Girl Scout troop. Guppy Gulch is not open to the public. As of August 2023: Pricing: $27/day for swimmers; $10/day for non-swimmers; $10/night per person overnight camping. Check-in begins at 9:30am; the water opens at 10am and the last horn blows at 4:45pm. Overall we had a fun day, but this facility needs a major facelift especially for the rest rooms. The port a potty was cleaner than the bathhouse, enough said!

My inner child really thrived here! It's so much fun! I came for a team build building event with…read moremy daughter's soccer club and everyone had a ball. They have so many water activities, from the blob to slide to zip line and multiple floating obstacle course. It really reminds me of the show Wipeout. The water is like a turquoise blue color and was a comfortable temperature. I will say that if you are over the age of 25, you will have to use some strategy, upper body strength and determination to pull yourself up on the activities! Life vests (provided) are a must and I would strongly recommend wearing water shoes. The staff had the place very organized and were happy to answer any questions. PS - This is in the middle of no where!
