A friend recommened Sonoma Coast Divers and from the beginning till the end my experience was superb. When I first called to gather all the information Brandon Wienholz was super sweet and patient with me asking a million questions. The day I got fitted Bryan Guntle walked me through the process of making sure I got all the gear I needed to be comfortable and safe. Steve Johnson was the head instructor of the course and led our class with lightheartedness and humor. His teacher assistances Jeff Mathias and Brain were amazing! Collectively they created a safe and fun environment to learn a skill that in moments felt intimidating. I also enjoyed my fellow students. It was by far one of the hardest trainings I've ever done but so worth it and looking forward to learning more.

I hope to see them all on a future dive! Thank you!!!!

They even worked with my work schedule and kept the dive shop open long enough so I could pick up my rental gear past their normal business hours. My open water instructor, Alaric, made learning diving easy and fun. He answered my many questions and gave reasonable advise when it came to gear. Thanks again Deep Blue for welcoming a new diver into the fold!

The gentleman at the desk, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Owen Wilson, was super patient in going through various options and steered me away from more expensive options that didn't fit my use-case. He answered all my questions, hooked me up with a strap for the back to save ripping my long hair and even gave tips on which portions of the island would be good for swimming. The prices were competitive (and actually even less than online) and the service was fantastic. Will definitely be my go to for any future snorkeling/diving needs

My partner and I recently got scuba certified here, which I recommend to anyone looking for the experience of a lifetime! The feeling of breathing underwater is truly dreamlike! Although I was admittedly nervous starting the course, my instructors Mitch and Ian were by my side talking me through each step. At no point was I shamed for making a mistake, instead they would give me feedback, explain the physics of the task/ action, and have me try again. Thanks to their calm and competent mentoring, I now feel comfortable in the water! What a gift! Thank you all :)

hands down the best refresher course I have ever taken…read more My previous refresher experiences involved far too much classroom time, followed by the entire class swimming around a crowded pool with very little individual instruction or attention. Idonya's course was completely different. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about diving, patient, attentive, and an excellent instructor. She made sure each of us received the guidance and practice we needed to feel comfortable and confident in the water. I highly recommend Idonya to anyone who needs a scuba refresher--or simply wants to connect with a knowledgeable and supportive dive instructor in the East Bay. We could not have asked for a better experience! We will be diving with her again for sure!
