Phoenix Scuba is the spot where I chose to begin my diving adventures just a few months ago…read more It started when I gave the shop a phone call to ask about an introduction to scuba course. Kelly and I chatted for almost an hour getting excited about it. She answered all my questions and I could quickly tell the love she has for this sport. Fast forward to this review and these folks have made proper divers out of my group of four. From our first open water course, to a plethora of specialty courses (even wreck diving!) there's something for everyone. Once you learn, you're part of the family, and it's a good family to be a part of. Special shout out to Marte, Dan, and Robert as well for being fantastic instructors. Cheers to this great group of people.

I was nearly laughed out of the store and was told everyone buys bolt-snaps from Home Depot and they had next to no inventory. Not recommend and I will not attempt to give Phoenix Scuba my business again.

I recently completed the Dive Against Debris specialty through Fins Up Scuba. From my very first call, Andrew took the time to understand my goals and my timeline.

I've worked with several dive shops over the years, and Fins Up Scuba truly stands out. They have earned my business, and this will absolutely be my go-to dive shop in the Phoenix area.

In addition to the training, the course was an outstanding value, particularly when one considers the time and equipment involved.

I would recommend Fins Up without reservation to anyone who was interested in scuba instruction, from beginner to advanced.

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.

They truly have a vast selection and offer every piece of equipment or supply you could possibly need for scuba diving!

I rented a mask/snorkel set and some fins for a weekend of scuba diving.

Great experience and terrific local (to us) dive shop! *****FIVE STARS*****
