They don't try to sell you things you don't need, the value you get for what you pay here is above expectations. It's a great business, run by friendly people who care. They have passion for what they do. They care about their clients. They put their whole heart into their business. It's a small locally owned business. The kind of business you want to support. Absolutely love this place. They deserve 10 stars. Yelp only allows me to give five they rock.!!!

When I got there mentioned I was interested in a "triathalon" capable wetsuit but wasn't having any luck finding one within my budget. Although they're primarily a dive shop (and they do have an amazing array of equipment/accessories) they took the time to go through their inventory and allowed me to try on a suit which ended up being exactly what I was looking for. Both items I purchased were of excellent quality and the owner/staff are knowledgeable, professional and considerate... Thanks!

Janet who was my instructor was so knowledgeable, funny and knew the best burger spot on catalina island! The equipments were in excellent condition as well. The full course took 3 days (2 weekends) and i went from bobbing around the pool like an apple to fully comfortable and fully enjoyed my dive well before the end of the course. Highly recommend!

Whoever I spoke to guided me about what the best way to handle everything would be. He spent a lot of time answering all of my questions in a very non-judgy way. Honestly, I wish that I dived as I would definitely give this place my business. I do not live locally there, or I would send my husband. Thanks to the expertise of the person who answered the phone at the shop, I can now encourage my husband to come clean about it and let the dive master know(as well as his dive buddy).

Lance let me work with him during part of the lunch break in the open ocean water and I chipped away at it under his coaching. He related to my competitive nature and helped me focus by relaxing (almost like you get better by trying less, if that makes sense in diving). In the last hour of the day, I finally passed and he gave me a high-five/hug in the water for getting it. I still have to work at getting better, but he was so tremendous in learning the skillset and I'd be rooting for him to break the next freediving records!

After watching a five-minute tutorial video, we were all set with our gear and headed off to a relaxing morning. Be mindful that there is no real lifeguard on duty, so pair up with people who have swimming skills! Also, the marina is open to boats sailing through. Make sure you are not in their way as my friend and I almost made this mistake. After an hour of cruising through we were a bit fatigued and ended our morning here. I would definitely recommend Marina Aquatic Center if you are looking for a new sport to pick up and stay healthy on the weekends - they offer paddleboarding, boating, and rafting, too!

I found this guy promoting his services on the message board in response to another person asking about Scuba, and he even wrote a review of his company. I was stoked, because he seemed pretty cool and down to earth as far as philosophy and teaching methods. However, I sent an email (via yelp) AND left two voicemail messages, and NEVER got any acknowledgement or response... I even stated my time-crunch situation in my 2nd voicemail. NADA So technically I am not reviewing the company's scuba training services, but given the lack of response, I have to give them just 1 star. Sorry buddy. I went to Haven's Reef. Review for them coming soon.
