All Wet Scuba

I purchased a Groupon for All Wet Scuba and all I can said is the experience was amazing from start to finish! I really loved everyone that worked there, and all the guys were friendly, knowledgeable, and not only made it so fun, but made sure I knew what I was doing. I feel so confident to open water dive now and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for an easy open water certification experience. I will definitely be coming back for not only my gear, but for further certification. GREAT JOB ALL WET SCUBA FOR MAKING THIS EXPERIENCE SO WONDERFUL!

One is too many stars. Stay away, avoid at all cost. words like arrogant, obnoxious, rude, dishonest, disrespectful. I do not see how they have a business. Quick horror story. I shopped online for several months looking for my first good dive computer. Picked the one I wanted. Rather than buy online I found the local dealer… that’s how I ended up there. called and they had the model, they even agreed over the phone to match the online price … I thought too good to be true. yes indeed. when I arrived the guy who I spoke to over the phone was over ruled by his boss basically called him stupid for telling me the price he added back the reduced amount plus he didn’t include the USB cord so totally added $ 220 from the price over the phone… my mistake was waiting to heir with in 3 days of leaving the country on a dive trip to go pick it up. I had no choice. Pay the extra money or go on a dangerous dive trip with a back up computer. after 20 minutes of arguing with me and among them selves and just making a complete ass of themselves in front of other customers I bought the computer and left.
There is a great shop I won’t mention not far away from this location that is night and day heads and shoulders above what this place will ever hope to be for customer service. Don’t waste your time. Too many other great shops in the area .
No Unilocal deal is worth it. And they are not honest. They sell crap gear to people just starting out that have no clue. Sad to watch. I had to bite my tounge several times as I watched beginners come in and get taken advantage of. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

This made my day. I think he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Haha
«Hello Allie,
I just read your review of All Wet Scuba and it just made me laugh and laugh. I never thought anyone would take the time to show the world just how spoiled and clueless a person could be. But your proved me wrong and outed yourself. First off managing scuba gear is part of the sport. As divers we all need to be able to safely transport, set up, break down and clean our own gear. It carrying tanks is too much for you maybe you should pick another sport. Setting up the gear during pool and open water checkout dives is skills requirement set by the certifying agency PADI. It is also something you need to learn to properly do yourself to insure your safety as a diver. What is obvious to any ready is that your are a high maintenance primadona that thinks the world should wait for her. I’m sure your instructors were glad to be finished with you. What is sad is that you don’t realize the quality of the instruction you received. Instead of a negative review you probably owe them a thank you just for putting up with your lazy bitchin ass.» –ROBERT W.

I found All Wet Scuba when I was given the Groupon for their Scuba Certification Class. I have mixed feelings about the certification course. It was relatively easy to complete the course, however, there were several things during the course that left me feeling like I could have chosen better.
Those incidents included being sent to the lake with less than properly filled tanks, one of the Tanks was filled to only 1200 psi, which led me to believe that they gave me a depleted tanks. When I reported this to the Owner of the shop, Brett, his response was along the lines of «Oh well, what do you want me to do about it?»
Another incident was, after sizing the wetsuit and reserving wetsuit and BCD, the bundle bundle of equipment that they set aside for me to take to the lake [over an hour away] was the wrong size. If not for an earlier class leaving and letting me borrow the properly sized gear, I would have spent the time and gas for nothing.
After completing my Open Water Certification and then Advanced, I voiced my desire for gear and that I did not want expensive gear to start [the courses had cost me 900.00 at this point]. I was offered used equipment that is used in their rental fleet for a whopping $ 10.00 the new price for gear that had been used hundreds of times.
I hope my poor experience serves as a warning to you as to the business practices of the owner, who is half the time not completely sober; also very scary to find in a shop where the gear he passes you could cost you your life or very least your safety!
There are many other scuba shops around, I will not point you to one of them, only away from this one!

This fella is brilliant to deal with; straight-​up with quality/​pricing and an entertaining personality to boot! Happily satisfied customer.

The instructors Jeff, Justin, Jay and John made my open water certification enjoyable and fun. They always went the extra mile and made sure that I was enjoying my experience while learning how to dive. Further, they were extremely flexible with my tight schedule when it came to class and dive times. I highly recommend these instructors and this shop.

I’ve been waiting to complete my Open Water certification to write this review, and it’s been a long time in coming (completely my fault, not theirs). I found All Wet via Groupon, because I’d been trying to find the time and money to get certified. Groupon brought me in, but there are several other reasons why I’ll go back.
First, they are very accommodating. I had a few scheduling issues, and they were more than happy to work with me. I had to reschedule my whole class when an unexpected trip came up, and they got me into the next available spot. Then I accidentally double-​booked myself for the Saturday of the Friday-​Sunday class. One of the instructors met with me the following Wednesday to go over the material I missed so I could take the written test. It was awesome that they were willing to do that, or I’d have had to reschedule again! Then, I got sick just before the lake dive. It can be dangerous to dive with any head congestion, so I was urged to duck out of that trip. The holidays came up right after that, and by the time I got myself back over there to reschedule, almost 3 months had gone by. Again, it was no problem and they got me right in to the next available class.
If I had one complaint, it would be that I didn’t know exactly what to expect when I went in to redeem my Groupon, and it seemed like they expected that I would. That led to a few surprises (especially considering the long delay between that meeting and the first class… verbal instructions were forgotten). I would have loved a written syllabus of what was to come, what was expected of me, what I’d need to buy/​rent and when I’d need it, and all maps and instructions and paperwork all included in one nice little bundle, for everything from that moment until I physically receive my certification card. It was nothing that asking a few questions didn’t solve (and they are very happy to answer any kind of question, in person or on the phone) but I can see that there might be some stuff that someone inexperienced wouldn’t even consider to ask beforehand.
My favorite thing about All Wet is the instructors. Through my whole process I worked with Brett (the owner), and 5 other diving instructors. Each one was clearly knowledgable, obviously loved what they did, was friendly and supportive, and made the class a lot of fun. They understand that each person is in a different place going in to this, and they are willing to provide one-​on-​one assistance if necessary. They really want everyone to have fun and be safe.
I’m very excited to work with All Wet in the future. I want to get my Advanced Open Water certification and hopefully take some specialty courses, and I’ll definitely do that here. Eventually I’ll start investing in my own gear, but until then, they rent out equipment for reasonable costs. I really want to continue on in this hobby, and I’m glad there’s a great local dive shop, since we’re hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. I highly recommend All Wet Scuba!

Did my open water certification course here. They accommodated my schedule and we’re easy to work with.

Chris and Nichole Sweeney are great! They are friendly and always willing to help! All Wet Scuba is the best dive shop in the Valley and they are also a CDC! It doesn’t get any better than that!
They also have a great Course Director and a very extensiveTec Diver program!
