I had a great time getting my open water certification with Hamden Scuba. Kevin, the leader, is as knowledgeable and experienced as they come. He has a relaxed demeanor which is sure to ease even the most nervous of students. Additionally, he does a great job at making an all-inclusive environment and making everyone feel welcome -- something the diving community is all about. I left Kevin's three day course with contacts whom I hope to stay in touch with while I continue my dive career.
Pricing wise, I am not sure how Hamden compares to other dive courses. But I do know that there were no gimmicks or hidden fees. What you sign up for is what you pay for: rental equipment, tests, etc. I've heard that other scuba shops aren't as transparent with their pricing. If you do their 3-day intensive open water course, however, you should expect to pay for camping at Dutch Springs, PA.
Overall I would recommend learning to scuba and learning it with Kevin at Hamden Scuba. I've already suggested to friends and family to give it a try, and I suspect my tenure with Hamden is not over yet. - via
