I was looking for a scuba shop to certify my daughter while I got a refresher so we could dive together. Mike and Sue were very friendly and helpful through the entire experience. We have continued to visit their shop for our equipment needs and additional training. I highly recommend them for any diving needs. (Bonus points for the heated pool!)

Called to inquire about Open Water certification for my boyfriend and a refresher course for me. Sue was friendly, patient, and informative spending time to explain the different options and even making recommendations. Im so excited to have found a great dive shop and community in my own backyard!

Came here with a few friends to learn more about diving, their classes and costs. The owners were very friendly and had some interesting stories as well. We arrived close to closing time and we weren't hurried out past closing time. They answered all our questions and welcomed us back anytime.

Looked around to learn to dive and chose Aquatic Escapes due to their extreme flexibility with the classes. They worked the classes around our schedules, which over the summer were not consistent. Then they were EXTREMELY helpful when purchasing equipment for the class - never once pushing to purchase a more expensive or extra item. On the 4 open water dives, Mike was great and made sure everyone was comfortable and could do the skills being tested. Even giving extra time and opportunities to get them done. I could not have been happier and cannot recommend them high enough. Any additional classes

I've always wanted to dive, but I've never thought I had the time to commit. And, there are a lot of options for certification. From the time we met them, Mike and Sue have been patient, kind, and friendly. Mike is the kind of teacher you want - he's able to adjust training based on your strengths and weaknesses and he's seen it all. For gear, I like that they've chosen to focus on gear they personally believe in. Between the two of them, they know all of the details you need to make a good decision. Their prices are good and they treat their customers fairly. Quite frankly, this is the kind of

Sue and Mike are fantastic! They explain details about your equipment that other local dealers neglect to mention, details that make a difference. My wife and I were PADI certified divers, yet became convinced that the SSI (SCUBA Schools International) training was much better, which it is. Mike goes the extra mile (literally) to see to it that youre comfortable with the conditions of your dive and very well prepared. Highly recommend them for all of your SCUBA needs, even a chance to go to exotic places... places your probably never thought you would go, like Fiji or Bonaire...
