I just completed my certification this weekend and highly recommend ranger ricks scuba adventure! Karl is a great instructor and always checks in with his student divers to see if we are doing okay. He also creates a really fun and entertaining teaching atmosphere! I look forward to doing more dives with him and his team in the future!

Carl, Jordan, and Cameron were our instructors for our two-weekend long college scuba diving course. Let me tell you, I need a lot of extra instruction with this and with the steps and equipment, all three of them were so encouraging and helped me out no matter how many times I needed assistance. This is something I wanted to do, but didn’t think I would actually follow through with and I am soooo glad I do! Scuba diving is such a cool skill to have and I couldn’t have wished for better people to teach me. 🙌
