I did my…read moreclassroom and pool portion with another company (SF Bay Area) but needed to get certified before an upcoming trip and found Sac City Scuba through his great reviews. Since I am not local and had completed part of my training already, he helped review everything with me and took the time to make sure I had everything in-place correctly and coordinate all the details (gear, training, ecourse, etc.) to finish off my recreational open water cert. He really went out of his way to make sure I was prepared for the weekend, and I really appreciated it! His teaching instructions were clear and he was very patient to make sure we did all of our checks properly and safely. I had a great experience and will definitely keep them on my radar for future trainings and diving trips. Thanks Joe & team!

He is very patient, and when you are struggling with a technique, he will take the time to make sure you get it right. My wife and I were pretty nervous about going on our first scuba adventure, but Joe has given us the confidence we need to make sure we will be able to handle our selves in an open water dive.

It's taken me an insanely long time to write this because I don't want to believe that it's over…read more I spent last weekend living on a dive boat with Dolphin and it was genuinely one of the top experiences of my life. As a greener diver, I went into this trip thinking I'd just take my time, see what it was like, and figure out what I could handle. Instead, it changed my perspective on diving and, to a much larger degree, the way I see myself. Steve Ramirez and Rich DeWitt made me feel so comfortable. They gave great tips and instruction without ever making me feel like I didn't belong there. I credit both of them for being able to do the dives and be fully present for them, knowing that they were nearby if needed with answers. Tell me why I live in Los Angeles and I'm considering driving up to Sacramento to further my dive education these two guys are the reason. The boat's crew was kind, helpful and incredibly aware. They anchored at beautiful dive sites, making it extremely easy to explore and look for whatever interested you on each dive. Their briefings were informative and helpful, there was always something available to refuel or hydrate, and they answered every question I had. They provided a type of hospitality I didn't even know existed. One of the crew caught a halibut while spearfishing and they cooked it right on the boat for us to try. I'll admit, I was scared to sleep in a bunk room with 21 strangers, with basically no privacy, on a little boat rocking to whatever degree the ocean decided was appropriate that day. But waking up first thing in the morning and getting into the water helped me achieve something I hadn't even realized I'd been looking for, to quiet the noise. I've always liked diving since I got certified. Now I love diving. I love the ocean. I love myself. There are places out there on this great planet where beauty and joy outweigh personality, follower count and financial class. Moments where you feel like you're on the moon. Underwater shapes of rock and rubble where you can almost see exactly where the earth crumbled, and just how resilient the creatures living there have become, willing to adjust to something new. There are little animals. Big animals. Kelp growing from rock. Silence. Awe. Moments laughing at dinner, wondering what the people on the other boats are doing, with people who were strangers a day ago and somehow already feel like friends. There's kindness. True hospitality. And this general sense of togetherness because everybody on board has the same goal: have a safe dive. Be able to go on the next one. Witness. Observe. Engage to whatever degree we're allowed, and leave the ocean as we found it. I thought what I was looking for out there would be something else. A shark. A ray. A seal. A dolphin. Turns out, it was me. I can't wait to go on the next one. Thank you, Dolphin, for giving me an experience I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.

I had the pleasure of attending a liveaboard trip in the Channel Islands this past weekend that was…read moreorganized by Dolphin Scuba Center. My wife and I are relatively new to diving so three days of nonstop scuba was both something we were excited for but also a little scared to do. Dolphin Scuba instructors Rich D. and Steve Ramirez were such an incredible pair that both taught us so much about scuba diving and allowed us to tag along with them on all of our dives. They made us feel very at ease in the water, gave us tips to improve our form and they both had endless stories to tell about diving while we hung out in the galley at night. This was our favorite scuba experience we have had thus far and I would 100% recommend joining them on one of the many trips they organize throughout the year. We can't wait to attend another trip with them in the future! Thanks again!

We rented some gear from Tahoe Dive Center while visiting from Oahu. When we pulled up we didn't…read morerealize they closed at 4:30 (we got there at 4:35), but the owner Chris was super accommodating and actually came back to help us out. He patiently waited while we tried on some gear to buy, and got our purchases and the rental gear all processed quickly and efficiently. He was also really helpful when we had questions about high altitude diving and local dive sites. Returning the gear was easy too, and the employee working the next day was also super friendly and helpful. Overall we had a great experience with the shop, and will continue to patronize them when we come back to the area.

I had a good experience renting here. They're kind of a no-frills operation, but that's to be…read moreexpected considering this isn't a prime diving destination. We got stuck in traffic on our way back to them, and the employee agreed to stay at the shop for a few minutes past closing so we could return our gear, which we really appreciated. Their rental wetsuits are warm enough for summer dives down to about 40 feet. Below 40, there's a pretty big thermocline and you may want something warmer. They only had nitrox at 32%. Given that it's a high altitude dive, I would have preferred 36%, but that's probably my only complaint. Overall, I'd come back here if I ever dive Tahoe again!
