We did 3 days of 2 tank dives and one day of whale watching. My daughter completed her scuba certification here and Jason was a great instructor. Jamal was on dive master on our last dive day and was a joy to dive with. Went whale watching with Smitty and saw a humpback whale and her calf! Smitty was very persistent at finding whales for us! Chris is a wonderfully warm office manager and a great communicator. Always got back to us very quickly. We will be coming back and will dive with them all again!
