Great family business that knows so much about equipment and areas to dive. I didn't take any classes from them, but spent a lot of time talking and getting to know the owners. I enjoyed and will definitely be back.

My wife and I log approximately 125 to 150 dives yearly on live-aboard boats and trips worldwide. Routine maintenance is essential to maintaining operational safety and failure free diving under heavy use and sometimes challenging diving conditions. I needed a local dive shop I could trust to perform routine inspection and maintenance on my equipment to keep it in top operational condition. I was fortunate to stumble into Undersea Scuba one day in need of that maintenance. Besides being a timely maintenance shop, I have found, over several years, Bruce, Sandy, and Caitlyn to be consistently pleasant

Good shop. Professional, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Im giving a lower rating as I signed up for a dive class just before the pandemic. The class I was supposed to be in February 2020 got canceled due to limited sign ups. No problem but then the pandemic hit and I couldnt get a class for 6 months +. In the mean time I was relocated for my work so I wasnt going to be able to get my certification in Illinois. I called and spoke to Bruce multiple times and he just wasnt budging on any refund. So Im out the class fee and got nothing out of it. Not anyones fault but I thought

Never done anything like this activity before and it was quite amazing. Worth the wait and it was something different that I never experienced before.

Recently took scuba refresher with Caitlyn. She is an EXCELLENT instructor, and very thorough, prepared me well for upcoming trip. I have not dived since 2017 live-aboard and a murky dive in quarry August 2020 cut short by thunder. So now I feel confident and very safe & ready for trip. Cate also advised on some gear purchases and is very patient, willing to answer ALL questions--not just the ones in PADI materials. I highly recommend Caitlyn and Underseas Scuba for solid instruction, advice and dive gear purchases.
