If you're looking to get scuba certified in Chicago - go to LSC! I was drawn to LSC because of their competitive pricing, their reputation as the only NFP scuba shop the world, and their reputation for giving back to the community and communities in need in Chicago; specifically, veterans, disabled divers, and low income divers. I was so happy to find that my personal experience with them matched all the wonderful things that I had read online.
They have a welcoming and helpful shop staff, knowledgable and caring instructors, and are overall just a great community of people. I specifically want to thank Bob and his team of instructors for all of their one on one coaching they gave me to help me overcome my anxiety with mask skills. I struggled with this skill so badly the first session that I feared my dream of becoming a scuba diver was lost. I felt scared, embarrassed, and dejected. When I told Bob and his team how much I was struggling they motivated me by telling me what I was experiencing was normal, they coached me through the skills one on one in the pool, they essentially saved me from and talked me through several anxiety attacks, and they encouraged me to keep trying. I continued to have nerves up until my final certification and the whole team (Bob, Will, Clayton, Sam, and more) were right there asking me how I was doing and cheering me on. Not only did I complete the skills but I felt accomplished in knowing that I had learned how to properly manage my anxiety underwater while diving. Thanks to Bob and his team I feel fully prepared to go out and safely enjoy the open water!
I'm living proof that with the right instruction and mindset - anyone can learn to scuba dive and I cannot thank LSC enough for helping me make this lifelong dream of mine come true. Can't wait to use my skills out in the wild and hopefully join the LSC community for one of their many upcoming dive trips, of which they do several to incredible locations throughout the year; just another perk of certifying with LSC!
Bubbles up y’all and see you soon! - via
