During a recent trip I had completed my open water diving certification. I had such a good time I was very eager to learn more about some of the different skills. After searching the local area I found Lake Travis Scuba. I contacted Robert and he assured me that they would be able to accommodate me at a beginner's level. The dives are all off of the Giant Stride. It allows for many dive sites options. The boat is able to carry 8 divers at a time along with the captain & 1st mate. Overall I very happy with my experience and hope to get out as much as possible. read more

Robert is a godsend. I dropped my phone about 15 feet deep at Town Lake on a late Sunday evening (on a holiday!). Sunset was around the corner, so there was limited time to retrieve my phone if it was going to happen that same day. Robert made himself available with zero notice, packed up his gear, and was on the road within minutes. He had all of the equipment necessary to find my phone in dark waters, and he provided me with a great YouTube video that uses sound to vibrate out all of the water from the phone's speakers . Helpful, communicative, efficient, and friendly. Highly recommend to others. In a way, kinda glad I dropped my phone in the lake Fun experience! read more

Absolutely amazing, I lost my phone while I was on the lake on wednesday and within a couple of hours I get a call from Lake Travis Scuba (without booking) and they tell me they found my phone while searching for someone else's key fob. They went the extra mile to look my name up on google, instagram, and even X to find a way to contact me they really went above and beyond to return my phone to me. I am so grateful to their team! read more

Incredible people and results. Honestly had a blast on the boat chatting with Robert and crew. Justin was a fantastic diver and made it look a little too easy. Perhaps I could have dived down to secure the ring! Just kidding, really impressed and forever grateful. read more

Called at 6pm on a Saturday, and within 30 minutes, Robert was there to help me find my phone. He was so kind and efficient, and I would recommend his services to anyone. I thought my phone was gone for good, but I'm currently writing this review on it (and it's completely fine)! read more

Robert saved our trip! My friend and I stayed in Austin for a weekend. Wanting to do all the outdoor activities we rented kayaks. AS SOON AS my friend got in her kayak she dropped her phone in the lake! The kayak rental gave us Robert's contact to retrieve her phone via scuba. We called him before we launched and he was waiting for us when we docked! He geared up and had her phone retrieved in no time! And with a smile. He made a stressful situation feel like a breeze. Give this guy your business he is one of the good ones! read more

Working with Robert was a great experience. He was very responsive, kind, and informative. I dropped my iPhone at lake travis and he went over 18ft deep to retrieve it. I am typing this review on the retrieved phone. read more

I had lost my watch at the bottom of Lake Travis, so I gave Robert from Lake Travis Scuba a call. He and Brian were very responsive and came as fast as they could. Both were extremely nice guys and very professional. We were unable to find it on that day, BUT they went back on two separate occasions and found the watch 1 week later! Robert seemed as excited to tell me as I was to hear the news. He was then nice enough to mail it to me in Canada! I would highly recommend these guys for any scuba needs or if you happen to lose something in the lake. There are good people in the world! read more

Lake Travis Scuba - Scuba Diving Near Me

I lost my phone in Lake Ladybird after capsizing while kayaking and was in absolute despair. The rowing dock gave me Robert's contact information and he was extremely helpful from initial contact. He kept expectations of recovery very realistic and set expectations on the role I would play on the success of the recovery. From my end, I provided fairly specific information on where I thought the phone would be. Before his dive, Robert gave a very detailed explanation of the process. After determining the correct location, it only took Robert 3 minutes to find my phone. He had diving footage of finding my phone and even explained to me how he found it. Robert definitely made this an experience and I would highly recommend reaching out to him if you are in need of some scuba diving services! read more

We lost my wife's phone on lady bird Lake in Austin Tx. After canoeing on the lake, the worker at the canoe rental suggested using Lake Travis Scuba to retrieve the phone from the water because it's about 20" deep if not more. We reached out to them but Robert Weiss the owner of Lake Travis Scuba was not available until later that afternoon and we were on vacation and didn't have the time to wait.. We took it as loss. A week later after we were already home in Houston Robert reached out to us stating that while he was rescuing someone else's phone he came across my wife's phone and since my wife had left her info at the front desk Robert was able to reach out. He sent us the phone and only charged us the delivery fee!! I sent him a little extra after we received the phone but he never gave a charging amount. We are very grateful for Robert's honesty and great customer service! And as a small business owner myself in know the importance of happy customers. I HIGHLY recommend Lake Travis Scuba!! read more

I finished up my Advanced Open Water Diver course aboard the Giant Stride. The captain was a cool guy, knows the lake well as well as the people on it (knew the cops and a couple other boaters). He also paid close attention to our safety and was always ready for us when we would resurface. He had a collection of sunglasses that the divers have found while on his boat - when we got to shore at the end of the day he gave out the glasses to the kids that were playing on the beach. Pretty sweet of him I think. Great price, great service. I would recommend this business to loved ones. read more

Again!!! Fantastic job. Robert you have a great company and do a wonder job making the dive trips memorable. My 16 yo son enjoyed the trip last year so much that another trip year was a must. My friends that I know in the area I have sent your way for certification. As well as friends from the Houston area to come up for boat dives!!! read more

Worth every penny!! I lost my brand new iphone 7 plus in the lake, it was too deep "12ft," and I thought it's gone but not according to Bob Weiss, I called him and he showed up earlier than expected....not even 5 minutes and he got my phone back!!! The guy is really cool, he made the whole experience so much fun, Highly recommended!! oh my phone was still working thanks to lifeproof read more

Great way to keep diving skills sharp! Robert knows all the best diving spots on Lake Travis. We did a trip last month and found several pairs of sunglasses and an iPhone. I can't wait until the lake opens again and we can get one more trip in before the end of the season. read more

Lake Travis Scuba is owned and operated by a first class diver and individual named Robert Weiss. When diving in Lake Travis, there is only one option: Lake Travis Scuba. Robert is on time and his sole purpose is to make sure that you have a great time. Robert is also a certified scuba instructor and I have taken classes with him. In fact, I may never take a class with anyone else. His professionalism is surpassed only by his boundless enthusiasm for what he does. You are truly missing the boat if you don't take the opportunity to experience Lake Travis with someone that knows the area like the back of his hand. read more

I have nothing but positive vibes for this company. Everything is legit and their insight to what you desire from them is explained in detail down to the T. I've had the best customer service from Mr.Robert with the first phone call down to the dive for my property & even after. He went above and beyond and I am very grateful to have come into contact with him. Highly recommend! read more

I dove with this guy once. Seemed nice. Knew everything about the areas we were going to dive, leading to a great dive. Then I got added on Facebook (he asked that we find him, so he could tag us in photos). That's when things took a turn. He's crazy about anti-Clinton/Muslim-Obama stuff and Trump being the only answer. I'm all about supporting your candidate. But he just spews crazy conspiracy stuff. Then he took to insulting anyone that had any differing opinion. One girl already dropped off his page (or he removed her/her comment) because she, "just wanted to dive" and didn't expect this amount of hate. He insulted another commenter by saying how HP (where I'm assuming this person works) is doing so bad because of the "backward thinking employees" they hire. While he did know his diving...I just can't see supporting someone that was so insulting to people just because they had a different opinion. There are other ways to dive Lake Travis. Would not use again. read more

This operation is a professional class act! The ability to go diving all over Lake Travis, safely and quickly, is a great opportunity that is only provided by Lake Travis Scuba. Anywhere else, a 2 tank charter will cost you over $100.00. The price is more than reasonable, and the trip is awesome, regardless of which of the many dive sites that LTS goes to! Always fun, always safe, and the best in-land dive experience in Texas. read more

Wow! Talk about exceeding your customer's expectations, Robert and Lake Travis Scuba succeeded! As part of an Advanced Open Water certification course this past weekend, my teenage son had the chance to dive off Robert's dive boat. He's a typical teenager, rarely releasing information, much less bragging about exceptional service, but he returned to shore raving about his dive boat experience. Apparently Robert knows how to treat his customers, such as handing the divers their fins as they enter (or taking fins from them as exit) the water and taking pictures of each diver to share via Facebook. He also keeps the boat meticulously clean, well maintained and functional (including special flooring to allow water to drain away and avoid messy/slippery situations). Thanks Robert, your dedication to your customer made my son's first dive boat experience positive and very memorable. You set the bar high for the Florida dive boats he'll be on next month! read more

One of my favorite ways to unwind at the end of the work week is Robert's Friday evening dive. $25 gets you a spot on the boat; that evening's divers vote on the dive site. My favorite is to hunt for sunglasses around Starnes Island. Great operation - very safe. As an instructor, I always give my students the option to do their certifying dives off the Giant Stride. read more
