I recently completed the Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses with Scubaland. The instructors were knowledgeable and I appreciated their instructional styles. They took time to ensure the students understood the concepts and made a lot of suggestions along the way.
David Malec was the lead instructor for both classes. Huge kudos to him for how he managed a large class (Open Water) and a much smaller class (AOW). He was attentive, knowledgeable, and was able to focus in on areas of information that students were finding challenging to ensure they understood the material.
The dive masters and other instructors were right there, at all times, during our training dives. They maintained active communication and conveyed a sense of calm when dive conditions became challenging.
Huge shout outs to Jeff Nelson, Michael Johnson, Tristan Newton, Jeff Locke, and David (I can’t recall his last name!). – via

Authentic dive shop with excellent staff and customer support. Open Water Diver certification class was a terrific experience. Instructor was extremely patient with the herd of cats he was guiding. On-site pool facility is unexpectedly clean in all aspects. Would encourage anyone interested in learning to scuba dive to visit Scubaland. – via

I got my open water certification through Scubaland in June of 2023 and had a great experience. Tristin and Dan were excellent instructors, very patient and happy to share their knowledge and expertise with rookie divers. Our divemasters at Windy Point, David and Larry, were also wonderful. Thanks to the whole Scubaland team for guiding me through this process! – via

It is rare to find a teacher that is such an expert at their craft that they can adapt their teaching style the way Lucas was able to accommodate each of the students in his class. His approach was so incredibly grounded and calm. He made complex ideas easy to understand and nerve wracking information anxiety free. Using humor and professionalism this is by far the best adult learning course I’ve ever taken.
Speaking of professionalism all four dive masters showed nothing but professionalism. As a 45 year old curvy woman I never once felt objectified (nor did I see this of the other three women), never experienced ageism or body shaming (no matter how many added weights I needed). Those kinds of things make a big difference in both a person’s ability to focus and learn and ultimately the enjoyment of this wonderful adventure. I feel well prepared for my upcoming trip and look forward to my first dive outside of class.
Scubaland Adventures’ class registration, rental, refill and return was seamless and the purchase of my mask, snorkel and fin boots was smooth. I wasn’t made to feel weird bringing my own fins or pressured to buy theirs. – via

Our instructors David and the rest of the team were excellent. They were knowledgeable about everything and were very patient. Overall, I only have good things to say about the course. BE AWARE that the price on the website doesn’t include the price of the PADI course packet ($140). I guess they were trying to “seem” competitive online and maybe I missed the fine print somewhere, but the overall price is not cheaper than the competition. The store manager also was pushy when I said that I wanted to look at other options for gear. Other than that, I highly recommend the class here. – via

I first bought an AOW class spot about 2 years ago, right before the pandemic. I was a little bit worried that there was an expiration date attached to this sign up, or something like that, but when it came time to sign up (2 years later), they had no issues finding me and signing me up for a class. When it came time for class class, I had to reschedule a couple of times and they had no issue with me doing that AND Lauren was very accommodating with getting me into a class that worked w/ my schedule. The great customer service continued when I went to the store for the classroom portion. Since I was early for class, I shopped around a bit and found some boots that I wanted to buy. They didn’t have a pair in backstock, but the display pair fit. The manager was very helpful in hunting down the other boot that wasn’t super easy to find. Once I was in class, my instructor, Jez, was great! He was very knowledgeable, and had a great teaching style. He made sure that he answered all of our questions and that we were able to complete all of our tasks and some. In short, great store, with friendly and knowledgeable folks! – via Google

I completed my Open Water Dive course this past weekend. Jeff Nelson was my instructor. He was the absolute best! My entire class agreed with this sentiment.
I went into the course feeling a bit nervous, not knowing what to expect and if I would be prepared to perform the skills. Jeff’s knowledge, patience, and calming demeanor were completely disarming.
His excitement for diving and how he shared his dive experiences made me anxious to book my first scuba trip.
I truly could not have asked for a better experience. I feel equipped and confident to begin this fabulous life adventure.
Also, shout out to the dive masters that helped during our open water-Sheila and Dave. Everyone during my Scubaland experience has been phenomenal. – via Google
