10/10 - My gf and I went with them as a dive tour and certification and it was amazing. Jack did my girlfriend’s certification while I went on a two tank dive with Gary. They were very knowledgeable and showed us the different secret spots. Tons of good sights and fish to be seen and highly recommend

Great first dive experience for all ages! - Fantastic time in our Discover Scuba Dive course! We had a group of 2 adults + 3 kids (ages 10, 12 and 14) and this was a first time diving experience for everyone. We went out with Squid and Triscuit and they did a phenomenal job with making everything fun and exciting but also making sure everyone stayed safe and learned what they needed to learn. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Everyone wants to get their full dive certification now!

First Class 5 ⭐️ for Aqua Action Dive Center - Great day with 2 tank dives. I am an experienced former commercial diver but the other 5 family members had never dove. Aqua crew made it awesome. Capt Dave was great, but Ben and Kyle were some of the best guides I’ve seen. Ben in particular was amazing with my 12 year old and 11 year old niece. He was so patient with them and made their experience amazing ! They both want to get certified now ! Thanks Ben @ketchupunderpressure

Beginner Scuba Diving - Jack was very patient and clear with his instructions and was always near to help. For first time divers this was an ideal as we became familiar with the equipment and procedures for diving.

Great first diving experience - Jack was super reassuring and made us all feel safe. We were staying at Secret Harbor so it was easy to walk over and schedule. Nice having only 4 in the class.

Great Experience - Great experience for the 3 of us. Our PADI instructor was awesome. I had some issues at first with my gear, he was very patient and changed out what was causing the issue. From that point it was great. We saw many fish, corals, sea anemones, and a very big stingray that was sleeping at the bottom. I’d highly recommend this company if you are interested in diving.

Look for a deep dive for a real experience. - The description was a little misleading. You go out from the beach and only go about 15 feet down. It’s cool that there’s coral and sea life that close to shore but I also could have snorkeled and seen the same things since it’s close to shore. Cool experience if you want to know what scuba is like and plan to take steps to get certified. I was hoping for a deep dive off a boat so it was disappointing but now I know scuba isn’t for me.
