Toms Dive & Swim 5909 Burnet Road, Austin, TX 78757

"LOVED my experience getting my Open Water certification with this dive shop! Everyone here was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as I was preparing for the course. I want to give a special shout-out to Dawson, our instructor. He is PHENOMENAL. He has so much dive experience, and clearly answered every question we had. I felt very safe and protected during this course- which I think is crucial for any sport with risks, like diving. But even tho I felt safe, I also felt pushed and challenged to THINK for myself. This program is truly built to form muscle memory in a short period of time, and to train responsible divers."

"Frauds & thieves, workers on drugs working the desk & Inst in training. Signed up for class, 2 months without instructor contact - cancelled class & put tracking on Tom's. Tom's didn't give a prize, free ecology class - illegal in the state. No posted schedules, long wait. Non experienced instructors. The dives are too shallow, some don't meet 20 ft for cert. Low Nox fills. Inst. With leaking 1st stages deep diving. Save your money & go to clubs in the gulf. I absolutely do not recommend Tom's for professionals. The exchange of services for money is trash."

"I'm new to town and an experienced diver. I joined Tom's Dive Club to dive more and meet people. The Valhalla trip was excellent, and the trip lead Sylvester did a great job creating a fun stress free atmosphere."

"The group open water class with Tyler far exceeded what I thought it would be. The first week was the perfect mixture of classroom and pool time. It never felt stressful and always not rushed - that kept it fun the entire time. The second week we went to the meadows center and it was awesome! Tyler was great!! Super patient and very knowledgeable. The shop itself was really pleasant with a good atmosphere. I’ve driven by for years and always wanted to do it. Kicking myself that I didn’t do it sooner and happy I did it at Toms!"

"Carter was my sons swim instructor! He was very patient and helpful towards my son. Carter was also very knowledgeable in his instructing and gave very easy prompting cues for my son to understand. He was encouraging and would praise my son for accomplishing different techniques. My son would get compliments of how good of a swimmer he was after just doing one week of swimming lessons with Carter. I highly recommend this swimming lesson. Oh and not to mention that Sara, the other swim instructor was also very helpful ! Below is a picture of my son swimming in 8 ft where a week ago my son was only swimming in 3ft."
