I recently dove for the first time during a trip to Thailand. I was immediately hooked...no pun intended. Upon returning to Nashville, TN I met up with Dan at the Scuba Shack who was excited to assist me on my new adventure with diving. Once I completed the online PADI course, I setup my meeting with Dan and we were off to the water to finish my training. Dan and his team were amazingly knowledgeable, patient and worked with me at my pace. They took their time and ensured I mastered all the required skills. Their expertise made it effortless for me. I'm so glad I made the decision to take

Went in to see about taking up scuba diving and Dan was great. He answered all my questions, very helpful, looking forward to starting something new.
Update: Had a great time this weekend at Martha's Quarry. Did 4 dives to complete my open water diver certification for scuba diving. Scuba Shack Nashville was great, especially Dan McIntyre.

What a gem to find a great scuba shop and awesome dive instructor close to home in Brentwood! I have had several instructors over many years and Dan is the best! Dan is truly expert but also fun and thorough and he transfers knowledge well - you just know you are in good hands! My dh had to do recertification as he lost his dive card from long ago. Dan and the shop really helped out as we had a short deadline before flying off for an overseas dive trip. We bought some new equipment too - we are enjoying it - and the dive leaders here in Bahamas have all complimented us on it :). Great all around

I am so incredibly grateful for Dan and the Scuba Shack team's products and services. We are planning a trip to Belize in 2 months and contacted them to discuss the process for getting fitted for gear and gaining SSI Dive Certification. Dan walked us through orientation, gear fitting and was very accommodating on scheduling our open water dives at the BEAUTIFUL Martha's Quarry scuba training facility. We are now certified and ready to roll! As far as training, Dan and Tim were both incredibly professional, patient working with us and just so skilled overall at their craft. Huge thank
