Great Discover Scuba, incredible and friendly staff - Whitney was incredibly welcoming and a great instructor for my first time. The course was thorough, and I felt comfortable getting my gear setup, using it, and almost immediately felt at home in the water. We immediately booked another dive and it was once again great with Whitney meeting us at the location and we took our rental car to and from. The house reef was filled with a variety of fish, coral and coral nursery, and was easy to access across the street from the shop. We also got some great photos from the Turtle & Ray photographer who was with us. Our trip to Tugboat Beach was also great with lots of see. We enjoyed the experience so much that I'm getting certified and we'll be using The Dive Bus again on our upcoming trip. Can't recommend them enough.

The BEST!! If you're on the fence, DO IT! :) - Do it, book the Dive Bus!! I did a discover scuba afternoon in early November 2024 and I am so glad I booked with these folks. I booked last-minute and staff were extremely responsive, quick, and helpful in answering my questions. I bought a piece of new equipment and they went out of their way to contact the manufacturer to help get my gear working for me. Whitney was my instructor for the afternoon and she was amazing – extremely knowledgeable and funny too! In the water, she was a steady, calming presence and helped me quickly overcome my initial anxiety to enjoy an amazing first dive. I felt very safe, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the beautiful underwater world. I am a newbie to diving, but I can’t imagine a better environment than the Dive Bus. I had a blast! The icing on the cake was their focus on sustainability, ocean conservation and awareness. They don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk, in concrete ways and I enjoyed my conversations with Whitney. If you’re on the fence, DO IT!! You won’t regret it; these folks are superb. I will be coming back! 😊

Easy diving, chill people. Great way to learn scuba! - The team and shop were super chill and very easy to work with. Had an easy time getting geared up, the skills review was on point and the shore dive was a lot of fun. Highly recommend them.

Fantastic Dive! - Awesome Discover Scuba Dive with The Dive Bus staff! Whitney, James, and Sofie were friendly before, during, and after my dive. James is a great instructor paying attention to well explaining, demonstrating, and teaching diving techniques. This made everything safe and fun. The House Reef, just close by their shop, also is a beautiful spot to dive with lots of sea life to contemplate!

First-time diver enjoys great experience with The Dive Bus - The Dive Bus crew is amazing! At age 54, I was inspired by my son to get PADI Open Water certified. I was nervous about learning to breathe underwater. My instructors were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring about me throughout the course. The team made sure I was comfortable at every step of the way. As my dive work continued, my small successes were celebrated with high fives and fist bumps underwater, which helped bring even more pride and enjoyment to my experience. My first open water dive after I passed my certification was like a victory lap and was celebrated by the entire team of The Dive Bus, I’ve since enjoyed two recreational dives with the crew and would certainly dive with them again! The location is unpretentious but their equipment is state of the art and the staff is top notch. Thank you Dive Bus!!

Amazing first experience - My husband convinced me to try scuba diving for the first time even though I was scared to death. Mark (our instructor) immediately put me at ease (and it wasn’t that scary after all) - the dive was simply amazing. Strongly recommend!

Fun first diving experience - We had a free tryout at the beach the day before and were introduced to Nanne and Whitney. They were really nice to us and told us about the discover scuba dive. We went the day after and Whitney helped us to make our first ever dive. The staff were all very nice and helpful and had a lot of humor.
