And Marcos isn't just doing this to make a paycheck either. I've received several invitations to cookouts & events that he hosts with/for any sociable minded local divers.

As for the classes the instructors will take the time to work with you to make sure you fully understand and feel comfortable in the water. Highly recommend checking them out whether it be for a class, gear, or a trip. Rob has the best knowledge and will go above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience. You won't regret it!

The staff at Scuba Shack helped me choose the Shearwater Peregrine TX for a replacement. I just returned from 2 weeks diving in Tobago and can't say enough good things about the new dive computer. I am very thankful for the staff advice that led to the Shearwater Peregrine TX. I LOVE it. I am an avid master diver with over 400 dives. I am also a "diver of a certain age" where the large crisp user programable display is much appreciated. I really appreciate the gradient factor information that helps improve my real time insight into on and off gassing. The menus and user interface are very intuitive. Many thanks to the Scuba Shack staff who helped me make this choice and set the gear up for me.

This is the second part of a review we've already started…read more Florida Trip- Feb 14th/17th  We had a Friday night meeting with dive group in Stuart Fl. To go over basic dive plan. I asked to speak with Ken Charnock and Kalley Laymon after the meeting. Both Ken and Kalley  were supplied with a copy of the original issues we had with Dan and the shop. They both seemed to show concern over the issues and stated that they needed time to process the issue, and that they would get back to us after they had spoken with Dan.  This trip was sold to us by Dan as a 3 day, 7 dive trip included with hotel in Stuart Fl. It ended up being a six dive, with the option to add a night dive for an extra fee- We were also told that we would be loading from the hotel marina in Stuart, and it ended up being a 45 minute drive one way  to Blue Herron Bridge/Riviera Beach- Part of the group did a boat dive on Saturday morning,  after that all boat charters were canceled Saturday and Sunday due to adverse weather. We drove both days down to Herron Bridge to do dives with the assumption that they were going towards dive 1 and 2 for certification. I will openly admit that I did not directly ask this question to Ken or Kalley- We did two boat dives on Monday with the assumption that we would be certified, only to find out Monday afternoon that they did not count either Saturday or Sunday as dives towards certification, but as "buoyancy testing and weight checks." I have no understanding of why we did all the above and below water safety checks and requirements if these weren't going towards certification-  With obvious frustration over the fact that we still weren't certified, we reached out to Force E dive shop in Riviera beach in an attempt to try and set up 2 more dives to  complete our certification before leaving Fl. This would have been an additional added cost of approximately $350.00 per person plus hotel to us. Anna at Force E took the time to set the dive up for us for Feb. 18th, but needed either the SSI referral, or if not available, simply a picture of the paperwork that had initials and sign off.  Out attempts began at 3:54 by reaching out to both Ken and Kalley to get whichever form of paperwork was easier for them. From our understanding, the paperwork came through at approximately 7:20 pm, long after we canceled the dive Anna set up. It seems obvious that due to past issues, I couldn't afford to pay for dives without the actual paperwork in hand- Between Ken and Kalley, 10 calls and a plethora of texts were sent in an attempt to get this taken care of.  Probably the best part of this continuing saga is the knowledge we received from Force E while speaking with them- they do  open water dive 1 and 2 at Blue Herron Bridge, and dives 3 and 4 are done from a boat dive.So, EXACTLY WHAT WE DID on this dive weekend..... Even if we didn't go out on a dive boat, there was a CLEAR PATH that could have been taken to finish the certification this weekend- Either via a lack of knowledge, or simply not caring, no one was certified and this could have been avoided- So, to wrap up our SSI experience: - Neither  Ken or Kalley at any point got back to us, tried to deal with the issue, or seemed to care. I guess this was an attempt to simply "sweep it under the rug." - there was every possibility of being certified last weekend, they simply didn't take the steps to do so.... - Dan lied to us about what the trip included, and where the dives were happening, including the money above and beyond the trip cost.....

Our experience with this company has been quite disappointing. Initially, the first few meetings…read morewere pleasant. I got along well with Dan McIntyre and a few other employees in the Nashville shop. However, the issue arose when we purchased our gear from another shop. We had thoroughly researched and were quite certain about our preferences. Dan agreed that the items we had in mind were good. He provided us with a list of his recommended options, and we conducted further research to ensure that they were indeed the best choices. During this process, we discovered that we could save a significant amount of money by ordering online. As a VA resident, I reside in an area with a lower sales tax, and Scuba Pro offers a 6% military discount. Considering the substantial amount of gear we were ordering, this discount would amount to an impressive 11% savings. The savings were well over $1000. I visited the Scuba Shack to personally speak with Dan and inquire about any potential discounts that would allow us to purchase our gear through their shop. I was transparent about the situation. Unfortunately, Dan informed me that there was no discount available. I expressed my disappointment. If the amount had been a few hundred dollars, we could have considered purchasing from their shop, but not for such a substantial amount. Dan then proceeded to give me a rather peculiar explanation about why direct purchases from Scuba Pro were not possible. He claimed that they would be receiving stock from a privately owned shop in the US and then shipping it to us, essentially making Scuba Pro a third-party intermediary. This explanation left me feeling somewhat paranoid about making direct purchases from them. At this point, Dan's demeanor shifted, which is understandable given the disappointment of losing a significant sale. Despite this, he acknowledged our position and expressed gratitude for our transparency. It's worth noting that we had already invested in classes to obtain our open water certification and had paid for a trip to Florida the following weekend with this company to complete our certification. So I sat in the parking lot of scuba shack and called every scuba shop listed, and one of those stores gave me a referral to another dive shop that carried scuba pro gear. I called that shop, explained that I was planning on ordering online, and my reasoning for doing so. At this point I was still unaware of the size BC  I needed for myself. (I had asked Dan multiple times what size BC was needed and could not get a direct answer- If you ask him a direct question, you very rarely get a direct answer, he will walk around the question 100 different directions) So I drove the distance to this shop to figure out what to order online, and while there they agreed to give a discount so I placed the order for all of our gear. Several hours after I arrived back home, Dan sent me an email offering to give me a discount on the gear. I replied to that email  informing Dan that everything had been purchased from another shop. I explained that if he had offered the discount earlier, we would've absolutely went with his store, but it was too late as We had already bought everything. At this point, Dan's demeanor and petty personality apparently kicked in- I am more than willing to explain every encounter, but by far the most important one was when we finished our enclosed pool session. My partner and I have very colorful, matching sandcloud towels that we used on day 1, I washed and we reuse them again on day 2. After class finished sunday,(day 2) my partner took his scuba gear to the shower to rinse it off, carried the gear back out, grabbed his dry clothes, and went back into the bathroom to shower.  My fiance re-entered the shower area to find the manager of the scuba shack (Dan) using his (my fiancé's) towel in between his (Dan) legs up his butt crack with his hand wrapped around the front part of his male anatomy drying and flossing his butt cheeks. The unprofessionalism of this act is disgusting. Dan was quite shocked to be discovered. Our personal feeling is that he would have done this disgusting act and hung the towel back up on its hook for my fiancé to use to dry his body. It simply seemed to be another petty act on top of all the others he had already done. The absolute unprofessionalism that we have experienced is alarming. We are supposed to trust this person to keep us alive in the open ocean as we finish our training. We have been completely transparent with all our interactions and this childish behavior is sad!
