"I have been shopping here exclusively ever since I walked in the door. This is truly a pressure free environment. Between classes where you learn at your pace, smaller classes. The amount of research put into all the products is insane. They will do everything in their power to sell you what you need the first time and stand by the products they carry. I shopped around after I found out the dive shop I was using was not for me. I visited every dive shop in the area and am so happy I found them. If you are looking to try scuba I highly recomend going in and having a conversation, they offer a great discover scuba service. Don't get me started on the wonderful dive trips they put together. I never felt safer traveling! Photos from Bonaire trip I took with them!"

"Mike and Sue run a great shop. They have their own pool to learn in at your pace and also are competivly priced with online shops so it makes it easy to support the local guy"

"I had a great experience here because Mike is incredibly skillful and so safety-oriented. The on-site pool made learning and adequately practicing the skills so easy. Both Mike and Sue are enthusiastic, professional and so supportive. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn to scuba dive correctly, or to buy equipment from them with their valuable on-site personal consultation!"

"Mike and Sue are great! I spoke with them before signing up for my class and they fully explained how the class worked and what to expect. I took my son, brother and cousin with me to the classes. We completed the online portion of the class and then the in person pool and open water dive portions. One thing that I was looking for was safety, having never been diving before I was concerned about how I would do as well as my son - who was 10 at the time. Mike took very good care of us and instructed us to the point where we not only understood the system of diving and what we needed to do but also why we needed to do it. We went over the skills in the pool together, practiced by ourselves after we were comfortable with the skills and then went to the open water to demonstrate our skills. Mike paid close attention to all of us and gave me instructions on how to dive with my son in order to keep things safe when we dive. After the classes, over the last 3 years, I have taken my son diving in Aruba, St Marteen, Hawaii, Florida and Costa Rica, as well local dives. Many dive masters have commented on how well my son and I perform while diving and I give credit to Mike for the instructions, guidance and care to safety. Mike also helped us get fitted for gear, how to properly use the gear and safety procedures for using the gear. My brother and cousin also enjoy a high quality of enjoyment while diving. Top notch place and I recommend then anyone who is willing to dive to go here."

"My first dive experience was a resort course in Grand Cayman with Tortuga divers, a quick safety class in the pool and printed material, skills demonstrated and off to the ocean. Three enjoyable dives. No complaints. Back in New Hampshire I did my open water paying attention, reading and understanding the provided materials and paying attention in class. Not everyone in my class did so but they were able to pass as they were able to demonstrate the required skills. I could list the negatives but I think my experience was typical. I then moved on to my new. Dive store Aquatic Escapes to do my advanced open water and discovered everything that was missing in my previous training. Mike not only explained what but why each skill was needed and ensured I was proficient in every one. I feel fortunate to have found such an inspiring and capable instructor and would recommend both him and Aquatic Escapes without reservation."
