Sonny Side of Scuba 162 West Harriman Avenue, Bargersville, IN 46106

"My wife and I had a fantastic experience receiving our PADI OWD certification from Paul at Sonny Side of Scuba!!! Paul’s decades of experience is evident in his high quality training and instruction. He helped us to feel safe and confident in our confined water and open water dives, while making sure we had fun and laughs along the way. He was patient, kind and welcoming starting from the first phone call. Paul was also extremely accommodating to our schedule. After scanning dive shops for years before finally having the time and circumstances to get certified, I can say I have not seen a dive shop as affordable as Sonny Side of Scuba for PADI OWD. It is clear Paul is not after people’s money but is in it because he truly loves diving and teaching others to dive. Sonny Side of Scuba will be our dive shop for all our future certifications, gear and servicing on our scuba diving journey!!"

"Sonny Side of Scuba gets 5 stars because the scale only goes to 5. Paul deserves more than 5 stars. Just completed the open water certification this past weekend. Paul is more than willing to work with anyone not quite getting it at first. Paul also treats it as a family. Once you are certified he is still interested in keeping in touch. He doesn't just say your certified and on to the next. I can't say enough that Paul truly cares and takes pride that you pass your certification with an honest effort on your part. I will definitely be returning for the next step of Advanced Open Water certification! If you are looking to certify in SCUBA, this is the place to go!"

"Sonny certified my wife and I four years ago. We have since been on multiple dives and always feel safe after taking his PADI open water course. Sonny is a standup guy and we remain in contact to this day."

"Paul is an amazing instructor and an even better person! He explains scuba in a way for everyone to understand, and makes sure everyone is comfortable before going in for a dive!"

"My experience with Sonny Side of Scuba was hands-down the best experience I have ever had, with any individual or organization, in any industry, ever. I completed the PADI Open Water Course with Paul and it is currently one of the best courses I have ever taken. His teaching style draws on many years of diving experience, yet he conveys an uncanny level of patience for even the earliest of beginners. Even with varying skill levels diving at one time, Paul was able to keep each student engaged and challenged, such that they were continually furthering their skill set. On top of teaching the information from PADI, Paul emphasized practical-yet-critical aspects of diving that PADI does not include in its literature. I appreciated the time he took to address safety factors, as well as the necessary knowledge for me to be able to go out and be a safe diver once certified. One of the most alluring things about Sonny Side of Scuba (before meeting Paul and his Divemasters) is the cost. The pricing for each of the courses is extremely competitive. At the time I took the class, it was the least expensive anywhere around Indianapolis. Paul took care of everything and all the gear was included. I was certainly shocked that the most affordable option did not come at the cost of poor service or something like that. Everyone associated with Sonny Side of Scuba is very kind, helpful, accommodating, and fun. The course is also devoid of any sort of salesmanship. Paul is an instructor, not a salesman. It was pretty refreshing to take a class where I wasn't being sold something every few minutes. If you're even remotely interested in scuba, this is the place to go."
