The No Limits staff were nothing but helpful and informative throughout the booking day before_of process. I was able to sign up for a beginner class in the pool for just $35, which was amazing and so worth it. Unfortunately I entered in the incorrect address for the pool and ended up arriving almost 15 minutes late. The instructor told me that it was just me in the course and so I could reach out to the office to reschedule. I told him this was no problem and then I asked if I could still swim? He told me that I could and I am so glad that I waited as one of the instructors, Chris, was available to help me. He gave me a one on one class on how to put on my gear and scuba dive. Scuba diving is not pretty as you got stuff coming out of your nose and mouth, but it is pretty and calming when you are underwater breathing and the rest of the world seems so far away. I loved every minute of this experience especially once I got used to breathing through my mouth and holding my nose to let my ears pop. I swam in seven feet plus, which was difficult at times, so I love that Chris was happy to have me swim in the shallower 4 feet. Chris waa super kind, patient, and fun; I really appreciate his time!! I definitely want to get certified as I want to do this more and more. Most likely due to time and funds it wont be until the fall, but I will be back! Thank you!

Top-notch. That's how to describe my entire experience with Cyborg Pirate…read more Their customer service impressed me from start to finish. When I stopped by the shop on a Friday to rent a regulator, the employees immediately greeted me and engaged me in conversation; they made me feel at home. Then on Sunday, I boarded the Diver Down and received the same warm welcome and friendly treatment from the boat's entire crew. The shop's boat, the Diver Down, likewise impressed me. It's a clean, well-maintained, and well-organized pontoon boat, with ample under-bench storage and walkways. I quite also like the lack of scuppers along the bench's underside; it's a small detail, but I knew that if my stuff got loose, it couldn't slide into the drink. Plus, the Diver Down features a well-organized and well-stocked supply of weights, as well as complimentary water and soft drinks. It's a nice ride. Similarly, the regulator I rented from Cyborg Pirate showed me that they're a serious shop. It was in excellent condition, with a DIN connection and a well-considered mix of rubber and braided hoses. Clearly, these folks are serious divers and aim to serve people of the same mindset. And, of course, the dives themselves were excellent. We anchored off an underwater hill that started at 35' and descended to well over 100', where my insta-buddy -- the boat's normal captain, who was fun-diving for the day -- led me on a deep dive into the 40'+ viz area at depth. Then, for the second dive, one of the divemasters arranged a friendly search-and-recovery competition. I didn't win, but I still had a great time. All told, my experience with Cyborg Pirate deeply impressed me. I recommend this shop, and I'll definitely go back again.

We are new to the Scuba World and had recently got our certification and went for a refresher. Luigi patiently worked with us on our buoyancy and feeling comfortable at 60 feet underwater.

The knowledge and passion for the sport is quite apparent in their mannerisms. As for the instruction, both Ryan and Josh nailed it. I have been a high school PE teacher and football coach for 37 years and I can comfortably acknowledge that the two of them are accomplished "teachers" of their craft. The way they break down the individual skills, explain them, demonstrate them and then guide you through them makes the skills easy to perform. Anyways, appreciate you guys and the entire team at Salt & Sea, what a great experience! I look forward to being part of their community/family. Greg

I honestly have no clue what some of these past reviewers are talking about. My husband and I have…read moredone all but our lake dive (which is scheduled for tomorrow morning) with Rick for our initial PADI certification and he has been great! We work a super hectic schedule as health care providers and parenting 2 busy children yet Rick made sure we'd be certified in a timely manner and worked with our schedule. He made sure we thoroughly understood all of the concepts prior to our first pool dive which went very well. My husband and I were joined by another male and female for our pool dive. Rick took his time with each of us. He taught us the skill and watched us perform it while providing corrections if necessary. NOT ONCE did I feel put down or belittled. Rick takes pride in his classes and store and empowers his students. That being said, scuba diving puts you in a primitive surrounding. We, as humans, are not meant to breathe underwater; I want to be safe. I'd rather be corrected on my skills in a pool than drown in the ocean. I respect Rick as he is very knowledgable and experienced- he ensures you will be safe underwater. Honestly, I feel as if the prior reviews written by offended males must have been from insecure little men. Rick was nothing but understanding, caring, patient and compassionate with not only my husband and I; but the other 2 people who joined us on our pool dive. Thanks Rick!

Rick, the owner has a wealth of knowledge about diving, but shoots himself in the foot every opportunity he gets. He seems to have developed a habit of cutting corners when teaching new divers.

If you choose to use Scottsdale Scuba, beware of the bipolar bear, better yet go somewhere else.

This is one of those things for you have to try it on and person, and shop local. Yes you can send it back if it doesn't fit but a brick and mortar dive shop is important because they have the experience to answer technical questions and ask probing questions to get you the right fit. One thing I thought was pretty cool is they have a local Lake clean up. I definitely appreciate this culture of being stewards to the Earth.

Not sure what to expect, I was greeted by a very friendly staff and students who already were certified or on their way to more advanced classes. After some introduction safety videos in the classroom and signing a bunch of release forms I got all the help I needed to prepare for some time in the pool. I forgot to bring a T shirt but fortunately the equipment did not bother my back. The mask provided fit me perfectly and I managed to get into the borrowed fins. The initial equipment test and first underwater experience was not as scary as I feared thanks to a great instructor. With multiple fellow divers and instructors assisting me I got plenty of time in the water exploring part of a three dimensional world I never really had experienced before. Although living over 2 hours away I very much look forward to continue with certification classes when back in the area this fall. Thank you for making my first scuba experience excellent.
