The Scuba Guru Team is top notch. I just spent three straight days with them at Dutch Springs, PA as they took my 15 year old son through the certification process. They are very detailed and have a great teaching approach....patient, fun and share real life experiences. I will be coming back to them soon for my other son’s certification.read more

To the Scuba Guru team thank you. I was a little worried because I had my daughter who was10 years old and you never know what to expect. They really gave her the one to one attention I was hoping and they went over the top to make sure she learned and she was safe learning. I highly recommend this scuba instruction outfitread more

Mike and the Scuba Guru dive team are fantastic! The class days/times were super convenient. I especially loved the small class sizes and the one on one instruction.

Great weekend PADI certification experience!read more

The scuba guru team does NOT mess around. If you are looking for a thorough understanding of your gear, as well as feeling comfortable under water doing skills without being prompted, this is your man. 4 stars for having to wake up insanely early, and also if you are afraid of diving, this might not be a good pick because the learning environment is very intenseread more

On behalf on my son and I, I’d like to sincerely thank the Scuba Guru team. The experience was exceptional! Michael came every day with highly qualified instructors, enough for a one on one experience, which lead to a very efficient and knowledgeable experience. Following my sons qualification , he feels confident that he has learned and understood the information, all thanks to Michael. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wishes to get certified in the Central and North Jersey area.read more

I did the Scuba Guru’s open water diver certification course to get refresher dives in before my vacation. The team was very thorough with their certification and I felt it was safer and much more detailed than my original certification. There were four divemasters to five student divers; I can’t emphasize enough how safe it was. I was very satisfied with the service and my dad, who was getting certified for the first time, felt the exact same way. The team will go over every skill until everyone understands it and makes everyone understands the content 100%. I also had a very fun time and had a great weekend overall, and I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to get scuba certified for the first time.read more

Got my Open Water Dive certificate from Scuba Guru. Had a really good time. Scuba guru team was very helpful, patient (I struggled in the beginning), and detail oriented. Nothing was done just to check the box but the team goes thru every drill in detail and repeat it until you are comfortable and confident with it.read more

The Scuba Guru team made our enclosed diving class a great experience! To the instructors were very informative, knowledgeable and down to earth. The class size was very small so we really got the attention needed and were able to fine tune the skills we learned in the pool. We took this course in hopes to prepare for our open water checkout dives on vacation. I feel I am more than confident and overly prepared to take the next step in diving!Thank you Scuba Guru team!read more
