We just got certified for open water in Hawaii, but got our lessons here at A1. I actually took lessons almost 7 years ago at Denver Divers because i wanted to learn scuba, but the experience there left me with a bit of a salty taste (instructors were kind of douchey even with beginners) and i never went to get my open water cert as a result. When the opportunity came along this time, i decided to enroll at A1 with my partner (and relearn everything) so that we’d learn together. Right off the bat, Chris and Jeff were some of the nicest and most patient instructors I’ve ever met. They took the time to go over didactics and then spent even more time with students in the indoor pool. The pool wasn’t as big as the one in Denver Divers but the experience far surpassed my previous one. It was all very laid-back and encouraging. Even though my partner was super nervous as she wasn’t the strongest swimmer and had trouble clearing her mask, they took extra time to practice with her. Chris was a very patient teacher, while Jeff cracked jokes teasing us from time to time all in good fun. Jeff was very encouraging and gave both my partner and i pep talks on what to expect and how to improve. He also said to mention in this review that he was the rockstar and not Chris. :).
Give these guys a try, just be open-minded and don’t get discouraged. Scuba is actually pretty technical and easily overwhelming with skills in a 3 -half days course, but the team made it happen for us. Not to mention the shop upstairs had great gear for us to purchase. Thanks again to A1 for helping us check off our bucket list! - via
