I cannot tell you enough that the owners literally made sure I did everything required to get certified (and I'm a busy entrepreneur who doesn't check his personal email that often)... They're kinda amazing! Their shop also had every piece of equipment I could possibly ask for to get setup for my classes.

Randy was great at walking me through options and set me up with a great full travel set. He made sure everything was suited to my dive needs and came in time for my trip (despite general supply chain issues). It's been a while since my last dive, so I didn't want to waste my precious time in Belize on a refresher course. Randy instructed me through one of the most thorough refresher courses I've had in the pool the week before my trip. It was great as I was able to dive on day 1 in Belize without needing to take a refresher there. More importantly, it was a great review of all of the key skills and got me aquatinted with my new equipment. Just got back from the week of diving and it was awesome! Felt super confident under water and the equipment worked out great. It was so nice to have my own equipment I was familiar with and fit perfectly as opposed to the usual mixed bag of rental gear. Adding a few shots from the trip to the review. Thanks Randy...I'll definitely be back for my diving needs!

From the onset, let me say in full disclosure that I have known Captain Mike since 2009 and have…read moretaken numerous Diving certification courses, including East Coast dives as well as, having patronized his establishment to have my gear serviced (which is what I am doing now). Captain Mike's is less about Clicks and social media Hype and more about personalized dive instruction. Learning from Captain Mike is like learning SCUBA diving from your older brother or Uncle. He cares more about you becoming a safe diver rather than the actual business side of the recreational diving industry. His dive shop looks more like a Dive workshop then a Glitz and Glamour SCUBA Diving shop that sells the Fantasy of a Caribbean or Pacific Dive experience rather then what you need to do if your Face-mask fell off, you are low on air or have a dive-buddy who is panicking because he/she forgot to turn ON his/her air. Small class sizes and practical instruction are the norms. Check out dives can be done in open NYC waters rather than the usual quarry in PA, which saves you time and money. And it's not unusual that you get to interact with the East Coast Diving Community and by that, I mean Divers with decades of real-world SCUBA experience & knowledge. I highly recommend Captain Mike's, he is not your average Glitz and Glamour SCUBA instructor(s), before this Captain Mike belonged to the NYPD elite SCUBA team(s). So, what you get is a man with Real world experience and knowledge trying to teach you how to operate in an underwater environment rather than some Tanned Dude in a Cool Polo shirt trying to Market Experiences to you and/or UP-sell you. I don't think you can find a more experienced and seasoned instructor in the NYC area then Captain Mike.
