    We had a really excellent experience renting equipment from this extremely professional and very nice company. All of the equipment was top notch and extremely well-maintained. They went out of their way to accommodate us when we needed to drop off early before they opened their shop. We will definitely not be using anybody but this company in the future for our gulf coast scuba needs.

    Open water dive at mammoth lake. Top quality staff at Gulf Coast Scuba. Highly recommend their open water diving course.

    Top quality shop and staff at gulf coast scuba. Highly recommended their open water diving class. It's 4 sessions in total with a manual you need to review with test before starting.

    Diving with Gulf Coast Scuba!

    I took my advanced open water with Aiar. He really knows how to get people confident, comfortable, and safe underwater.

    I went in for a scuba tank. The staff was very helpful in my selection. I will be referring them moving forward.

    I was very nervous about scuba, but Aiar is such a patient and knowledgeable teacher that I was soon able to relax.

    I am displeased with Oceanic Ventures. They know that I live out of state. When my order came in,…read morethey just sat on it for a month or more. Did not send it, did no call me, nothing. Then they charged me $22 tax, even though it is being sold out of state and there is no sales tax (eventually got him to say he will remove this charge, but I'll believe it when I see it!) THEN he charged me another $30 to send it UPS Ground (which appears to be $10 on UPS web page). He says the rest is his handling fee (Really? First you refuse to have it drop shipped, then charge me $20 to simply forward the mask that is already boxed in the shipping box it arrived in. Some seriously heavy lifiting, I guess, as it must weigh at least 6-8 oz!)

    This REALLY is as good as it gets!! Nestled in a small brown building near West U, this place…read moreoffers the best in customer service and diving! The trainers are fun, entertaining and supportive. Oceanic Ventures actually cares about your diving experience and it shows. I was greeted by enthusiastic staff members and repeat customers. It was a nice southern feeling in the air and everyone is knowledgeable about everything a diver needs. From equipment, diving spots and more, this place is a one stop shop where the customer is #1. My instructor has been on at least 300 Diving Excursions and was very welcoming!! You don't have to be an experienced driver or a Olympic swimmer just have an open mind about the process. Everything about my experience was pleasant. I enjoyed myself tremendously and I hope to go on a diving excursion on my own in the future.

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!!!

Their DM candidates they had helping the class were weapons grade narcissists who both admitted they did the same shore dive 50 times to meet the minimum dive requirements, they said this openly! We had one decent instructor, the other who finished the course was simply NOT good at being an instructor. I then decided on a quote for gear with them and when I went over it, line by line, they were quoting higher prices than what was listed inside their shop.... seriously? Finally, I took a brand new tank, new VIP and O2 cleaned, to get it filled by them, but they insisted on it being O2 cleaned, despite it having a well known shops VIP sticker on it stamped as O2 cleaned, they clearly want to scam you out of more money. We've since moved on in our SCUBA careers as technical dive masters and now venturing into closed circuit diving; however, it wasn't without having to basically start from ground zero with another instructor to retrain us. What made me go back and write a review about this from our experience years ago is we have run into divers certified through them on the boats here in South Florida and they suffer from the same garbage training. My best advice is to avoid this place, in fact just avoid all SCUBA shops in Texas and train somewhere in Florida where diving is more prevalent and you have higher quality instructors to choose from.
