I am so belated in this review, as I did my pool sessions back in March with Thor. I am reminded…read morethat it was still outstanding because I am headed to YayScuba with my partner to manage his bottles now. I suggested he call them because I had such a positive experience and then realized I have only been sharing that with friends and family instead of in formal review. I was lucky enough to be Thor's solo student during my sessions and he did everything possible to make me comfortable. All of the skills were very personalized and he is very experienced and knowledgeable. Even more important, he was an excellent teacher. He was very patient and was quick to repeat skills that I misunderstood or was struggling with. The scuba world is very male dominated, but I was never the only female in the pool nor was I ever made to feel less capable than the male students doing a refresher course. Thor made the skills fun and he was meticulous about making sure I understood and could safely execute each one. I cannot recommend the shop or Thor enough to anyone starting out, but especially to women entering the water.

I recommend going to Chesapeake Underwater Sports for all of your scuba needs, and I'm looking forward to using all my gear on one of the scuba trips that CUSA and Mike plan in the near future!

My fiancé and I recently finished our PADI certification with Sherm and his crew. We were…read moreinitially planning to just do the learning portion and pool lessons with Sherm and finish the check-out dives on our honeymoon, but Sherm was so personable, thorough, and knowledgeable that we decided to finish our certification with him.

And he made sure we were absolutely comfortable with every skill in the pool and in our open water dives. We drove from DC to Annapolis to work with Sherm, and it was worth it!

There's no question you can't ask him, and with so many years experience, I definitely felt comfortable that if a problem arose he'd know immediately how to handle it. He shared many stories about his time as both a diver and instructor, demonstrating his wealth of knowledge on the subject.
