I did. I'm so glad I did because now I will get to help my wife with her situation slowly at her own pace. As for the training, the e learning was easy and was at your own pace, Malcolm and Amanda were the best people to teach us, they were very knowledgeable and percise on what was needed to be taught. They were also professional and kind, I'm glad we chose them to teach us. Thank you so much

As a certified NAUI/CMAS/SSI Advanced SCUBA Diver, I am pretty "particular" with the Dive Shops I…read moredo business with as well as the Dive Training & Excursion Programs - for me it's all about the first-rate quality "experience" and safe/comprehensive instruction rather than the "product-push" centric focus shops I hate having to deal with (kind of like buying cars). So when I connected with Bil Gates (Bil it's one "L" real name no kidding) at Scuba Rite who is both Manager and Instructor of the local JAX Scuba Rite Shop off Belfort Rd, I was so pleased to know that he "gets it" and "gets me!" I love that Scuba Rite is very quality training focused and makes this the primary element of their business model. They are moving away from equipment sales and laser-focusing on their broad training curriculum of Courses towards Diver 1-4, Master Diver, Nitrox Diver and Instructor Diver Level Certifications. Moreover, Scuba Rite provides customers with a "try SCUBA" experience (single and couples) which allows first-timers to "get your feet wet" and safely explore the underwater world without full-certification. IMO, this is a great progression towards the full certification program (Diver 1). The best part of what Scuba Rite offers is the fabulous locations that they use for their training and excursion dives: Troy Springs, Fanning Springs, Blue Springs, Devils Den Springs and my personal favorite Ginnie Springs (where I completed my NAUI Openwater 1 Rec Diver Certification). I highly recommend Scuba Rite if you are looking for Dive Training & Excursion Programs that are first-rate in "experience" and instruction!

Not only is he very familiar with the dive spot(he's been diving there for over 20 years) but he definitey made the experience more comfortable and easy to learn.

Want to learn to Scuba Dive? Need a Refresher Course? This…read moreis the only place I recommend. Fintastic Diving Adventures is an amazing Scuba Diving company that specializes in classes, certifications and trips for the whole family. I highly recommend them. Though based in Jacksonville, FL, they regularly hold classes in Atlanta. I've been scuba certified for over 30 years but I took a refresher course with Fintastic after being away from the sport for a while. The owner, Saffron, also taught my children to dive and we have traveled with her on more than 10 trips. Each one was organized, professionally done and tons of FUN. You can rent her gear for classes and trips or she can hook you up with your own gear at reasonable prices. Well known and respected in the diving industry, Saffron is a wonderful teacher with over 6,000 dives. Sitting on multiple Scuba Safety Councils, she is the person that professional divers recommend when asked for the name of a scuba instructor. Saffron's background in marine biology is a great help in identifying wildlife above and below the water. To top it all off.. Saffron is a nice person and I think nice matters. Apart from the group trips she arranges, she often accompanies private groups who want their own dive master with them on their trip. Check out their website !

The staff at the marina are very friendly and helpful. We took the boat out for 4 hours, catching a total of 6 red drum my son caught the biggest of the day, a 30" plus red drum. If you want to fish and don't have a boat this place is great and you don't have to worry about loading and unloading a boat in and out of the water. All though I wish I had a boat. No maintenance or clean up This place takes care of it. They have several different boats to choose from all very nice. You do have to cover any gas you use and is kinda pricey. I guess either bc they are on the water or using ethonal free gas it was a little over 3$ a gallon to replace the gas we used. I will return to this place to rent again but prefer to eventually own my own boat in the next year to year and a half.

My husband and I were very scared and weren't sure if our son would have a good time and follow instructions. Our son absolutely loves going to his swim lessons weekly and he truly has learned lots such as kicking and paddling, learned how to wear goggles and how to hold his breath while underwater. He's currently working on feeling comfortable submerging his head entirely under water and diving. He's showed so much progress thus far and I'm so proud of him! I plan to keep our son enrolled for a while since there are different levels at aqua swim.

My daughters are 9 and 6 years old but they were spoken to as if they were little adults, which I appreciated. It's clean and there are plenty of changing areas and bathrooms. They are very welcoming as soon as you walk in. As I was watching them during their class, all I saw were big smiles from both girls. They had a blast. I immediately signed them up. I recommend this place if you're looking for swimming lessons.
