Had an awesome experience getting my PADI open-water certification here after purchasing a Groupon (I completed the week-long session). My instructor, Nickol White, was thorough and encouraging, and I always felt safe under her leadership. While diving at Hudson Grotto, I had the opportunity to observe the teaching of an instructor from another dive shop, and I can confidently say that the training I received was many times more thorough. Also, everyone I met in the dive shop was friendly and helpful. I had been nervous about going with a shop based on Groupon alone, but I am extremely satisfied with the instruction I received. After just one week of class, I feel that I am a confident diver able to enjoy diving but also ready to handle any potential life-threatening emergencies that could occur. I highly recommend Scuba West for your dive certification.
