Before we even started, Mark helped us choose the gear we needed. Mark provided us with the learning materials and came to our house to teach at home and in our pool on a Saturday. We felt confident in the education provided. The following signing in, rentals and even Gatorade-really great service! We felt safe and had fun. The next weekend we did our education and test over a video call Friday night, another at home pool session on Saturday and a trip to Devil's Den Sunday. Mark was efficient, professional, helpful and fun! He told us he's available for any questions in the future too. I can't recommend Jonesing to Scuba enough!

I am SO glad I chose this place to continue my dive certification with the open water cert. I got…read moreeven luckier when Keith answered the phone the first time I called the shop. I could tell instantly that this was the place I needed. Keith's passion and compassion for dive excellence is unmatched. While he is in the sales business, he isn't going to sell you something that you don't need. He also wants to make sure that you get what you need and what is comfortable for you to want to continue diving and use the equipment. His one-on-one training is amazing! He takes the time to make sure you really understand the course material and practice it efficiently. For someone that has thousands of logged dives throughout their 35+ year history of diving, Keith knows his stuff. You'll also never have to worry about losing him in the water. Just look for the pink! The entire staff here at Macs just makes you feel so welcome and part of their family! You just can't find this anywhere else. Not to this level. Look no further than Macs for all your underwater needs, training, or even swimming lessons. The indoor pool is at the perfect temperature to keep you in the water and loving it! Don't even think twice before deciding to come here! You'll be glad you did!

Kevin is a great instructor. I highly recommend stopping in or calling if you have any questions if you are searching for new gear, service for your current gear, looking to become certified or wanting to expand you scuba knowledge by taking a specialty course. Kevin and the staff is always ready to get you set up for your next adventure. Thank you Kevin. Jr now has memories that will last a lifetime.

TL;DR Managment/ownership treats customers and employees terribly, would not spend money here…read more Repeat bad experiences, I'd rather buy online than go back in this store. As an avid adventurer of the western US, I tend to visit outdoor stores wherever I travel to see what their idea of adventure is there and take the chance to upgrade gear that's frustrating to use or worn out over time. I've visited Bill Jackson's on two separate occasions now, heading in each time with about $500 worth of gear in mind to shop for. The first time I came, I got great help from multiple associates and planned to purchase gear off of their advise, but witnessed a confrontation between management and an associate that I recall as mild but disruptive enough it made me leave the store without buying anything. I didn't come back for about 8 months. Now I'm back in town for a few weeks of work before heading on a 2,700 mile bikepacking journey and really needed to grab a few items I hoped they'd have in stock. Being interesting in all outdoor activities, I started talking with an associate about the ski shop they were building the last time I was here. He keyed in that I had ski knowledge from my time tuning skis and custom fitting ski boots out west and started talking to me about part time work as they expected to need some extra hands with ski knowledge and took me to show me their ski selection. To get there, we had to walk through an area that he explained was sectioned off for an upcoming sale, so not yet available, but the necessary route to the still-open ski shop. He made a pretty good case for their ski shop and my wheels were turning about coming to help them out in the fall. On our way back through the sale area, I asked a question about the items we were walking past and the associate was very clear that those items were not available for sale until the official sale start date, but took the opportunity to educate me about them(I knew very little about diving equipment but am curious to learn). I was quickly convinced that a decent snorkeling kit was necessary equipment to enjoy the area and decided I'd get a setup. Before he got a chance to redirect me to where the currently available snorkeling gear was(I could tell it was coming, this area was also tiny compared to the sale area), an angry manager/owner appeared ready to tear apart the kind and helpful associate that had just taught me what I needed to know to spend an extra couple hundred dollars on top of the items I was already planning. I hurriedly left the area while she continued to holler at me and once I passed the threshold of that room I heard her resume berating the associate in anger. I walked myself over to the full price scuba stuff and found another helpful associate, but I could not bring myself to buy anything from this store after that experience. It was not unreasonable for her to ask us to move along since we had stopped in a place we were meant to pass through, but she was incredibly rude to the associate for going above and beyond to take care of an enthusiastic customer. I won't spend money here, that manager is the most unkind person I've encountered since I've been in Tampa. In a town of incredibly kind people, there is no place for that. Very sad, I really wanted to like this store. The associates seem to be knowledgeable and passionate about the outdoors, but they don't deserve to be treated that way.

He is very patient, his tone of voice is very level so super easy to understand and he is very knowledgeable. I noticed that he was respected at both dive sites we went to. After completion of open water certification he made sure that the proper forms were submitted back to the home dive shop. I highly recommend Dept Perception and Robert.
