Real Stories from Try Scuba Adventures
“I am a beginner. So it was really important to me to learn from experts who are competent and caring teachers. The dive instructor was competent, caring, calm, and a joy, pun intended, to learn from. My husband and I learned 3/12 basic scuba skills from Joy in Mission Bay and had a fantastic time. Scuba gear and wet suit were included. All in, I felt like we got a great deal given the expertise of equipment. Thank you!”
“Great experience as beginner uncertified scuba divers. Our instructor was extremely pleasant and gave us an amazing underwater wildlife experience about 25 feet deep, with beautiful fish and plants. If you want a good experience definitely request her. Totally worth the money.”
