I seriously have no idea where to begin with Scubabros. Thinking back on the hours I've spent with the dive instructors getting certified, shopping for scuba gear, and just hanging out, I have a pretty good idea of what this place is all about.
I felt extremely safe with the employees here. I don't know how they did it - they somehow have a team that is very friendly and fun-loving, but with an undercurrent of discipline when it comes to the safety of their customers. The only thing I can surmise is that strong leadership has instilled the shop with a very professional, customer-centered culture without losing the pure joy of scuba diving.
During instruction, there are plenty of people around to answer all of the stupid questions you inevitably have. I'm sure they've answered them a million times, but they always took my concerns seriously and did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and help me understand the equipment.
Yes, the gear they sell is a bit expensive, but they will proudly go on and on about Scubapro and how great it is. Take a look online, or ask when you meet scuba strangers, and you'll find that Scubapro is the best of the best. Feel free to shop around, but they have reasonable prices, not to mention strong opinions and the patience to let you try on twelve different wetsuits until you find the one that fits you just right.
The grain of salt here is that I don't have experience with a lot of other scuba shops, but I am well-versed in exploratory Google-ing, and I get the feeling that we made a phenomenal choice with Scubabros. read more
