    Wow where to begin..... First of all, a wind and pleasant family business!!!!!! Marianne has sooo much knowledge it's unbelievable! She is such a pleasure to speak with! Jet son Jason is incredibly knowledgeable on equipment. Has great suggestions and up to date on all current tech!!!! Stacy is a great person and already taken the reigns and making new divers and old divers (like my self) eager for new diving experiences!!!!!!! Stacy was first person I met. She happily answered all questions and concerns. This is the place it started for me!!! January of 2015 I went to a beginner , getting open water certified to DM!!!! I have been on group trips and admit I can't wait for more!!!!!! Everyone there reaped me in and I. Any get enough!!!!! I can never repay the great life time experiences I have because of everyone at Underwater Safaris!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

    I got to experience a Discovery Dive through LSC last night and it was an absolute blast! I had…read morebeen interested in Scuba but honestly never expected to actually try it, so when I got the chance through a Yelp event, I was SO excited! Before attending, make sure you watch the intro video- it's super informative and saves tons of time when you get there so all your time can be spent in the water vs going over all the information. Bob and his team were so incredibly helpful, welcoming, and were great coaches for those of us who had never Scuba-d before. We got into the UIC pool with wet suits and all our gear, went through a quick orientation with Bob underwater, then spent the rest of the time swimming around the pool. Scuba diving in a pool doesn't seem that exciting at first, but trust me, it is way more fun than you'd expect. Everyone who helped us was so helpful and nice, and they really made the experience amazing. What an incredible organization led by a great person. Will absolutely be back to get certified some day!!

Thank you to Amy for making sure we got our course done in time for our trip. And special thank you's to Alex and Sam for helping me get over my fear of mask skills.

    I just had a scuba refresher course with DJ's Scuba Locker, and I think they do a very good job…read more Two friends and I met at the shop, where we met the owners and our instructor, Zach. After completing some forms, we were fitted with shorty wet suits, BCs and the yoke with the hoses for the regulators, BC attachment and air pressure gauge. Zach instructed us review all the equipment as if were at a renting scuba shop, and I found that my regulator's mouth fitting was damaged, and he immediately replaced it. First Zach helped us remember how to set up our gear, while adding many useful suggestions and knowledge to the session. Once we assembled our tanks and BCs with his guidance, he made us do it all again, but by ourselves, only saying something if we were doing something incorrectly. After this, he packed all our gear and we went to a YMCA nearby to do the actual diving refresher. The equipment worked well. He had practice 25 (might have been 28) skills for recertification. He is a very good instructor, meeting each person where they are at and helping with their needs. All the time he kept emphasizing important points and talking about what to expect at our dive shop because of his knowledge of similar places. When we were done, Zach packed everything and we left. He is a very affable, pleasant, and professional young man who knows his subject matter very well. The owners of the shop are also very nice, we had an opportunity to talk to them as well. I bought a mask, which the lady owner had me try several sizes and qualities and helped me decide on one that was very comfortable and very reasonably priced. I give the whole operation, but especially Zach, 5 stars. My friends agreed with this rating. I will be going back there for my diving needs.

    I just finished the second part of my Open Water Dive Training with DJ Scuba, and it was fantastic…read more I met both of the owners; one when I was getting fitted, and the other when I was picking up my gear, and they were both extremely nice and helpful. They went over the gear with me and made sure it fit properly, and it was all in pretty good condition. My instructor's name was Jeff. He was very nice and even let me dive even though the first day I came two hours late because my alarm clock died. I had already come to terms with how screwed I was and didn't expect to be able to get certified before I left on my trip, but when I called the dive shop to see if there was any way I could still dive, they called Jeff to let him know I was coming late and he fit me in before his next group! My only gripe is that they're a little far out of the way (I live in Chicago), but I took Ogden straight there and it wasn't too bad, maybe 25 minutes each way.

I was so impressed with his low pressure approach and his genuine desire to find the right equipment for me and not to just sell me stuff. So I stayed in touch and eventually went on a dive trip with him - such a positive experience that I signed up for another. But what really stands out about Rami is his teaching. I did not know how incomplete my instruction was until I experienced learning with Rami. He takes the time to make sure you really know what to do and have mastered a skill. I credit him with really helping me become a competent and safe diver. You cannot go wrong with Rami.

    I have been on 12 dive trips and 5 have been with Scuba Sensations…read more from the Bahamas to the Philippines diving with Scuba Sensations is a special experience. Rami leading the dive trip guarantees that there will be lots of laughter, professional support, and immediate connection with the fellow divers. Rami has a way of bringing out the best in his fellow travelers. Whether you come solo, as a couple or with friends, you will leave with new friendships, wonderful memories and amazing stories. I do not hesitate to recommend Scuba Sensations for dive trip opportunities to my friends. I look forward to future dive destinations with Scuba Sensations and Rami.

I searched for hours looking for the right place to charter a boat that was big enough for my group of 15-20. Everything I found only held up to 10 people or held 50 or more, and they required that you purchase food and drink packages from them. Bob allowed us to bring all our own food and drinks so on top of being one of the most reasonably priced boats, we saved money on food and drinks too. Captain Bob was ridiculously accommodating for our group. He knew that traffic would be terrible because of the weekend we had our adventure so he offered to pick up our booze from Binny's that morning so we didn't' have to carry it down to the boat. He also went and got us cups since we forgot them. All in all, it was amazing and you should go visit!
