Glenn and Sandy are the best. They go out of their way to make sure you are well taken care of. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

The absolute best full-service, top of the line dive shop. Very welcoming from the start for me and my wife. The owners are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and caring. Our experiences have always been positive. Over the years Ive completed Open Water through Dive Master with a good bunch of specialities. I always learn something new on our weekend dive trips and enjoy the camaraderie of the regulars. The international trips are well organized and always exciting and fun. These folks practice what they preachits all about learning and safe diving.

I have trained and dove with several dive shops in various states. Into The Blue Scuba is by far the best Ive trained with. The owners, Glenn and Sandy make everything from booking dives, travel, accommodations, and equipment purchases an effortless experience. Glenn and his Divemasters make all your certification courses a memorable experience. The training courses are set up to allow for maximum instructor/student interaction. If you have ever thought about diving, this is the dive center to call!

Into the Blue is your one stop shop for scuba and snorkeling needs. They offer all the gear AND quality training that will ensure you are certified. They also refill air tanks of all kinds - think airsoft air tanks, paintball air tanks, and all other air tanks. Into the Blue offers friendly and helpful service with those tanks. We highly recommend INTO THE BLUE.
