Bill is fantastic!! I live in N. Dak and was able to do my classroom and pool work here, but flew to Vegas to finish by open water (mid Dec 2013). Lake Mead was beautiful, very cold-water appx 54 degrees. No one else was signed up during the week I was in town, so I was able to get one on one certification from Bill. Wow, Bill has had an amazing life with lots of experience and is amazing to learn from. Eric was in the shop and super nice as well. Scuba Views is in N. Las Vegas and about 40 mins from Lake Mead. Bill drives you out there, has all the equipment you need and brings you back. I started early one day and Bill even stopped at Starbucks on the way out...Thank you!!! Their shop has everything you would need to buy, Eric is a certified equipment technician and they can definitely take care of all your scuba needs. I wish the best of luck to them and future success!!! Thank you for certifying me for my honeymoon to the Dominican Republic.
