I learned so much to enable future dives. Great teacher! The assistant dive master,Ted Moulter, also was encouraging, and went out of his way to go over principles, assist in learning skills, help with equipment weight adjustments. Wonderful and personable. Can't say enough good things about this amazing team and OE. Gina and Anisha, who assisted were helpful and encouraging. And Savanah in the rentals was so efficient and positive . It's truly a testament to how great the OE company is that everyone is so positive and friendly there. THE place to go in San Diego!

He was super-knowledgeable and friendly, and recommended some masks for purchase that worked perfectly. Shout-outs to Brandy and Vicky as well for all the assistance on air fills and rental gear return. Our instructors Ken and Michael were awesome, great mix of light-hearted banter and excellent serious instruction. Went from being somewhat anxious at the start of the pool days to feeling fairly confident by the end of the ocean dives. Learned a ton and really appreciated all the advice and expertise. If you're looking to get into scuba diving, this is the place to do it!

I give one star for the girl that helped me the first time I came in. However after explaining…read morethat my wallet was stolen with my card inside of it I was told I needed to get My PADI cert number from them so that I could rent a regulator set up and a tank. After spending the day tracking that down finally having house of scuba be the ones that were able to get that info for me, I felt as though because the earlier interaction with the previous employee was positive i would return and rent the gear. Big mistake. Little bit of insight, my regulator stage one and two were in storage and some mice decided to feast on my hoses. Long story short I was in need of a set today so that I could do a recovery job tomorrow morning. After jumping through hoops and tryjng to stay loyal to the original store beyond land adventures. I returned to find some new guy working the desk. He tells me that he needs more than my cert number to be able to rent the gear. He calls the other employee who vouches for me and then asks her if she knows how to input that into the computer to make things work. They have a brief talk and he ends it with I will figure it out. After about five minutes he proceeds to tell me that he can't rent the gear because he has no way to look up my info. I have the PADI app which clearly states that I am certified as a rescue diver. Plus my number. Then I ask him if he could sell me gear and he says no they don't sell gear to anyone not certified. So I ask him if I was new at getting into diving and wanted to be certified with my own gear so that I was trained on how it worked with a professional his response was that they don't do that. i Have never been to any store or bought any dive gear online and been asked for my certification card. So now that I have wasted my whole day finding out the information they asked me for only to be denied at th time that house of scuba or ocean enterprises are closing I get that fake response of I'm sorry so we just can't help you. If you read between the lines it says I don't want to do the work to figure out a way to make this workout for you. . I highly recommend that if you are going to need anything dive related that you look elsewhere because clearly they are not interested in making money. I will tell you one thing I miss the good ole days when Ricks diving locker in Escondido was still around. Rick was always helpful, insightful, and knowledgeable as well as being a great guy overall. It's no Wonder that shops are closing due to internet sales. Today I wasn't even able to get what I needed at a store that carries everything I needed. looks like I am gonna have to go online and get what I need too bad I will prolly miss out on this work today though.

If you're looking for a dive shop that has great instructors and staff, Beyond Land Adventures is it! My wife was worried about me taking my kids in the pool and worse, the ocean, but no need to worry! The instructors and dive guides are super patient and helpful. We started with Chris, who did our two pool days with us, and 1 ocean dive. Because of the rain a couple weeks ago, the rest of the weekend was cut short. They worked with our schedule and we were able to finish our ocean dives this weekend. Chris was super patient and calm, especially with my nervous 16 year old daughter. I was bummed we wouldn't get him as our instructor this weekend until we met Spencer, who was equally as good! He, Lynsey, and Sean were our instructor and guides this weekend. All super patient and amazing people! The other staff back at the shop are equally as great. Had to switch out a couple pieces of equipment we sized wrong. No worries, they were great helping us switch to the correct size. Their shop prices might seem high when you're getting your first bits of equipment, but if you've done your homework, you'll find they're actually about the same price as Amazon and online scuba stores. Yeah, you might get 10% cheaper, but why gamble? BLA will back up everything they sell us Thanks again BLA! Can't wait to do our first scuba in Cozumel over spring break.

I can't recommend Zach's Scuba Shack highly enough…read more Zach is a top-notch scuba guide who knows the La Jolla dive sites like the back of his hand. From the start, he clearly explained the conditions and what to expect. When the day we initially chose turned out to be less than ideal, he was flexible and helped us reschedule for the following day, which ended up being a fantastic dive. His calm, casual demeanor immediately put me at ease, especially since it had been a couple of years since my last dive. Underwater, Zach was attentive and thoughtful, pointing out marine life we absolutely would have missed on our own. The rental gear was also excellent--clean, high quality, and thoughtfully prepared. He even had the correct weight setup ready for each diver, which made the whole experience smooth and professional. As a local, I plan to dive with Zach again to continue learning the area and progress my diving skills. If you're diving in La Jolla, Zach is the person you want guiding you.

If you're scared of sea lions like me, it might be a bit scary because they are everywhere. There was soup and chips on board to grab whenever, and hot cocoa and tea were also available the entire time. Overall, it was a wonderful day spent with Waterhouse Charters, and I highly recommend them.

My friends and I just had…read morean incredible day out with them, and we're all very happy--grinning from ear to ear the whole trip and still buzzing about it days later. The team delivered outstanding professionalism and a true customer-oriented approach, with excellent communication from booking through to the dives: quick responses, clear instructions, and flexibility that made everything stress-free. Safety stands out as their core strength--detailed yet approachable briefings, vigilant guides, and smooth operations that put everyone at ease, even on challenging wreck dives to the Yukon and Ruby E. A huge shoutout to instructor Alex, who is truly awesome and special with her exceptional understanding and guidance--he made complex skills feel intuitive and kept the energy high while ensuring we all progressed confidently. Their beautiful 40-foot yacht ODYSSEA is a standout: speedy, luxurious, and expertly set up for diving, turning surface intervals into pure relaxation with plenty of space and comforts. We dove through thriving kelp forests alive with marine life, encountered playful sea lions, horn sharks, and countless other wonders, all in intimate small groups that allowed for tailored guidance and maximum enjoyment. For anyone seeking safe, exhilarating, and memorable dives with a crew passionate about the ocean and guest satisfaction, Odyssea Adventures is unbeatable--my friends and I can't wait to go back!

Upon our first meeting, we knew we were in the best hands. The crew is so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, outgoing, happy to go above and beyond in everything they do, and just freakin awesome! Fletcher was extremely organized and we felt comfortable the entire process. The pool sessions were straightforward and we were the only class there in a small group. In fact, my fiance and I were the only ones in our class with Fletcher and Annie! How lucky were we to be able to experience a 1:1 instructing class. All the other classes had 8-10 people... Odyssea has it figured out! And we were able to do night classes which was perfect with our work schedule during the week. The Catalina trip was unreal! So organized from start to finish. Between the van ride up to Long Beach, the boat process and the dives, everything was absolutely perfect! A unique and diverse boat crew with tons of knowledge on the dive sites! Annie and Fletcher were both leading small groups of us through the dive sites and it was perfect (we got 1:1 guide and instructor led training with Annie)! She taught us with ease, guided us through amazing kelp forests, was sure to point out all of the wildlife for us to see and it was so enjoyable. Stunning dive spots picked, beautiful scenery and the best company! I wouldn't have wanted to go through this process with anyone else. Whether you're looking for a refresher, open water cert, advanced courses or just friends to dive with... Odyssea is the BEST! Cant wait to do our advanced cert with them next!

The boat is small/not many passengers and the crew is extremely attentive to the passengers. I'd only been on one dive boat before as I am recently certified, but my boyfriend has been on many and captained a few and he has never seen a dive boat where the crew are that attentive and helpful. It makes everything fast and means your main focus stay on having fun diving, not fussing over your gear. I felt really spoiled the whole time. The dog Captain is so cute and friendly and you can tell he is very loved and well cared for. Lora was our captain and Chris was our dive master and they were both awesome, knowledgeable, and super friendly. Lora would hang out with the passengers and it felt like you were chatting with a friend. Plenty of snacks and warm beverages and chili to keep you satisfied and hit the spot when you get out of the water. We came from Santa Barbara/Ventura and now I want to rush and get my advanced cert so we can come back and go on their other dive charters!
