Received my open water diver certification through Ultimate's SSI certification program. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their certification. The course includes 3 classroom sessions, 3 pool sessions, and a 2-day check-out cert dive. The combination ensures you feel comfortable, knowledgeable, and smart about diving. The dive shop owner (Evin) and all assistant instructors (Todd, Mark, Dale, etc.) are extremely knowledgeable and experienced to give you the best advice about diving. The dive shop itself offers top of the line gear, competitive pricing, and helpful staff. Evin will go out of his way to get you the gear you need if he doesn't carry it, and to find the gear that best suits you and your needs. By far the best dive shop in the valley with extremely personable and helpful instructors and staff. HIGHLY recommend - never been disatisfied with my purchases at this shop. My dive shop of choice :)
