They don't try to sell you things you don't need, the value you get for what you pay here is above expectations. It's a great business, run by friendly people who care. They have passion for what they do. They care about their clients. They put their whole heart into their business. It's a small locally owned business. The kind of business you want to support. Absolutely love this place. They deserve 10 stars. Yelp only allows me to give five they rock.!!!

Training was very hands on and any questions regarding hypothetical scenarios and specific circumstances were answered with knowledge built from experience. She took initiative to make sure all of the students were tended to and accommodated, as the different students came into the class at different levels of comfort with being in the water. More importantly, the entire experience was FUN! You can tell everyone in the shop loves what they do and makes you feel very welcome. I will be pursuing my other certifications here and will definitely book more trips through them in the future!

I was stoked on the trip to Catalina Island with Blue Holic Scuba. As a full time dive…read moreprofessional, having worked worldwide it's easy to see when a dive shop has a passion for what they do and a fresh operation. What sold me on choosing Blue Holic as opposed to spending a little less money booking everyone "à la carte" style with other companies were a few key things. The trip leaves on an early ferry which isn't always available to book on your own, so you can make the most of your day and still get back in time for dinner. Additionally, they have a porter which hauls your gear to casino point making the walk much less taxing and finally they offer 3 dives while most others are only 2 at a comparable price. All in all, Keline and the crew took great care of me and from what I observed and overheard they offer expert instruction and had multiple classes with happy students and provide a great and fun atmosphere for every experience level from green students to dive professionals. -Capt Gregory Lewandowski PADI MSDT #240550 Owner, Sub-Surface Marine Solutions Subsurfacemarine.com Liquid Origins UW Photo & Video Liquid-Origins.com

I took my open dive certification course here and cannot recommend them enough. All of the…read moreinstructors I had have been incredible, and they make sure that every session has a good instructor to student ratio (the most I've had was 4 students per instructor). They also only offer boat dives as shore diving can turn off a lot of people to diving as it's so hard for beginners. Due to weather, my scheduled dive got cancelled, and I was worried that I would not be able to get certified before a vacation where I was planning to dive. Keline and Harry were extremely accommodating and went out of their way to make sure that I could go on my final dive to get my license. Will definitely be coming back for future scuba trips with them or if I decide to pursue a different certification

The rental gear, including the dive lights, was in excellent condition, and Dave's safety briefing was thorough and professional while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable. The highlight of the dive was a curious harbor seal that followed us for much of the dive, using our lights to spot and catch fish along the way. Seeing the dive park come alive after dark was a completely different experience from diving it during the day. I highly recommend Diving Catalina for anyone wanting to experience the magic of a Catalina night dive.

Twelve years ago, I walked into Ocean Safari already certified but honestly not a diver yet. I'd…read morehad a bad certification experience at another shop a couple of years earlier, and it completely destroyed my confidence. My gear sat untouched for two years because I was scared to dive again. Eventually I worked up the courage to walk in and ask to join a local dive trip, I had my card, so I figured I should be able to do it. Somehow Gabe, Soo, and the team recognized exactly where I was and never once made me feel embarrassed about it. They patiently filled in the gaps in my training, helped me work through the things that scared me, and gave me the confidence I'd been missing all along. Looking back, it feels like they quietly re-certified me without ever making me feel like I had to start over. That changed everything. Diving went from something I was afraid of to one of the great passions of my life. With Gabe's mentorship and encouragement, I eventually moved overseas and spent a few years working as a scuba instructor, something I never would have imagined when I first walked into that shop. Over the years, Ocean Safari has become so much more than a dive shop. It's a community and a second home. My parents learned to dive here. Years later, I brought my boyfriend in to get certified, and he's now my husband. We still dive with Gabe, Soo, and the Ocean Safari family regularly. They gave me the confidence I needed to actually become a diver, introduced me to lifelong friends, and gave me a community that still feels like home. Thank you, Gabe, Soo, and everyone at Ocean Safari. You've had a bigger impact on my life than you'll probably ever know.

After a discussion with my surgeon and Physical Therapist, they agreed that learning to Scuba Dive would be beneficial to my recovery, with a few minor restrictions. I cannot begin to find the words to thank Rusty Berry and his incredible team of instructors, assistants, and shop employees. Each and every one of them went above and beyond to work with me and assist me with a couple of restrictions. I began spending every single Saturday in their pool, working with a number of instructors, and was even allowed to come in on a Sunday to only focus on buoyancy. Today, thanks to each and every one of them, I became a certified open water diver. Through the pain, the anxiety, and the frustration of my limitations, they made it happen. They were my biggest cheerleaders in not only getting my life back, but making me stronger and making sure I reached a long time personal goal of mine. I proudly represent Scuba Schools of America each and every day and I will forever refer SSA to anyone ready for their Scuba adventure. Rusty is a savant when it comes to diving. His knowledge is so impressive I could spend hours listening and learning something new every day. He is truly a rockstar in the industry. I would like to give a special thank you to David, Devin, Scott, Jim, Annie and the rest of Rusty's team. I look forward to future adventures with Rusty and crew and will forever be grateful to each and every one of them. Thank you all!
