Don’t bother booking. They are happy to take your money but will not fulfil the service you pay for. Voucher was purchased and when calling to redeem they refuse to accept it, despite calling to redeem before the expiration date.
Absolute con! – via google

1.0/ 5

The instructors are all amazing. They want to be there and help your child learn how to swim. Coach Q and Coach K have been great. My only complaint is the receptionist Morgan. She’s very unprofessional and rude over the phone. Every time I walk in, she’s slouch down on the desk with her head down or on her phone. They need to either teach her professionalism as being the receptionist, or get a new one that actually looks like she wants to be there. – via google

5.0/ 5

Okay the instructor was fantastic and the experience was amazing, but whoever answers their phones is completely unhelpful and rude. I was given the wrong information and told to go to their website when I called. I called back on another day when she wasn’t there and got some good help. Five stars anyway because the actual diving part was perfect and that’s what you’re here for!

We went there for a SCUBA discovery. If you decide to do their discovery, make sure you have a few hundred bucks in your back pocket because it’s such an incredible experience that you are going to want to pursue certification so you can do it again! We were given very clear instructions on everything and he had us practice all of the essential skills in the shallow end before we went deeper. He had a very good way of explaining things. I was going to just come here for the discovery and get the certification closer to home but I think coming here is worth the drive to get quality instructions. He had a ton of personal tips and dive sites suggestions too. Great guy, great place! Do not judge them by their receptionist. – via google

1.0/ 5

Was forced to book swim classes here when all other classes were full during summer. Don’t do it – better to wait than waste money and time. Unprofessional, inattentive, and uninformed staff. I learned nothing. They wasted my time telling jokes I did not want to hear and having constant sidebar conversations. Also, office staff did not communicate w swim instructors so I’d come in and there would be confusion about what to do with me. – via google

1.0/ 5

Incredibly bad customer service. I had a similar experience to an earlier review.

I showed up for scuba lessons and was turned away because I had not gotten an email from them with information that I needed to come in ahead of time to get materials. I understood this and asked for a refund for the $600, and was told that only the owner could do that and she wasn’t there.

I went back in twice that week. I left a note. I emailed twice. I got no response from the company at all and finally had no choice but to dispute the charge on my credit card, which took another 10 days.

Had they said ‘’Hey, sorry you didn’t get into that class but we can get you into the next one on…” I would have said fine, but they didn’t. They were just rude and then completely non-responsive. – via google
