My family and I had an incredible experience learning to scuba dive at Sea Shanty Scuba & Swim. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and at ease, thanks to the exceptional training provided by our PADI instructor, Dana.
Dana went above and beyond, especially when it came to working with our youngest son, who was just 10 years old at the time of certification. Her patience and skill in teaching made the learning process enjoyable for him, and we felt confident in the safety measures implemented throughout the course.
As a person who struggles with anxiety, I was initially apprehensive about scuba diving. However, Dana’s calming presence and understanding nature made all the difference. She took the time to address my concerns, providing reassurance and guidance every step of the way. Her support played a crucial role in helping me overcome my anxieties and fully enjoy the experience.
My husband and our oldest son started their first scuba course in 2019 with Dana to prepare for a Boy Scout High Adventure Camp called Sea Base located in Florida. Dana trained them and also many other scouts and leaders at that time. A short time after that trip, my husband and oldest son took additional courses with Dana, and their enthusiasm about the training speaks volumes. They were not only impressed with her expertise but also appreciated the personalized attention and focus on skill development.
The overall atmosphere at Sea Shanty Scuba & Swim is warm and friendly, creating a sense of community among divers. The equipment is well-maintained, and the facilities are top-notch from their store in Norman to their training area in Texas at the Scuba Ranch.
In summary, our family highly recommends Sea Shanty Scuba & Swim for anyone looking to explore the world of scuba diving. Dana’s dedication along with her team, expertise, and personable approach has made our learning journey unforgettable. We are now all Advanced Open Water Divers! We still enjoy diving with the group to this day. We began our adventure in the beginning of 2019 and continue to scuba dive as much possible. All of our travels are now centered around scuba diving. We all have over 150 dives each at this time. This would not have been possible without the awesome training at Sea Shanty Scuba & Swim!
