Scuba Marco Reviews

When I say these people are the greatest humans on earth, I mean THEY ARE THE GREATEST HUMANS ON EARTH AND SEA! Jesse and Jeff are so wonderful and treat you like they have been your friend for years. They welcome everyone and want everyone to enjoy the beauty of scuba diving. They were incredibly responsive and helpful as I was coming from out of town to get my scuba certification. Melody was the best teacher! She was super knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable when I had worry about doing certain parts of the skill sets. All she wanted was us to succeed and it showed in her teaching pace and encouragement! I would go back to dive with Scuba Marco every time I m back in the Marco Island area and would recommend every scuba student to get their certification with them!

Just finished my four certification dives with Captain Jeff and crew. FANTASTIC!!!!! Jeff is patient and professional. I never felt hurried or pressured. His calm demeanor and obvious confidence make him a terrific instructor. And the dives....WOW! Fish galore! Goliath grouper, snook, jacks--just thousands of fish. Jeff knows where to go. Water was warm.

All reasonable priced, easy to find, easy to book. Everything was just easy.

Can't say enough about Jeff Dawson and his crew. FANTASTIC!!!!

This is a great store with a tremendous amount of inventory, very friendly staff and instructors.
New and good used equipment.
Also a Padi dive center for certification.
Definitely recommend this store

Jeff is a great teacher. Every dive is very professional and fun.

Thank you to Jeff, Tyler, and John for having patience with me while I was going through my scuba certification. I never could have done it without you all!! You gave me the courage to move forward and persevere!!

Jeff and Jessi are the best! Amazing dive shop, great service, and a wonderful place to get certified! Chill atmosphere and knowledge and experience to share. Will continue to use them for all my diving needs!

Great shop and people that care about the experience they provide to customers for SCUBA and charters... I would recommend their service if you are ever in the this area of Florida for a safe and fun experience! BG

My first time diving in the Gulf was with Scuba Marco and I had a fantastic experience! The staff is very knowledgeable and Jeff our Divemaster/Instructor made our group feel very safe and gave us the option of exploring on our own. My buddy and I decided to dive with Jeff and we are SO happy we did. I saw 3 Goliath Groupers (one was albino), large angel fish, friendly fish, plenty of starfish, giant hermit crabs and vibrant coral. Scuba Marcos also deeply cares about their local reefs and we were provided mesh bags to collect underwater trash. I highly recommend diving with Scuba Marco and to also checkout their monthly scuba club! It was a pleasure meeting Jessi and Jeff, the owners, and I feel warmly welcomed into their dive community. Thanks Scuba Marco!

Wonderful experience. Great people all around. Melody was an exceptional instructor. I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Jess & Jeff have a put together an excellent environment of professionals. Highly recommend!

This is a fun place for diving! Really enjoyed diving with Jeff and his crew. They were super friendly, helped provide great gear and the snack bar was great. Perfect for all skill levels and someone else on the boat just got certified today - So exciting! Would highly recommend it. They took care of us and everything from start to finish. It was fantastic and we will be back again!

Completed my open water certification with Scuba Marco, great people and a great experience, can't wait to return and dive with them again.

My boy and I dove with scuba marco for 3 days...finished up our certifications. Couldn't have been happier--Jesse and Jeff run a first class "mom and pop" shop. We will be back.

Just completed the discover scuba experience and had a wonderful time. Jeff, Tyler, Captain Johnny and first mate Rick were all very courteous, knowledgeable and patient. Safety was always first with a focus on having fun. It was obvious the whole team enjoys what they do and worked like a well maintained machine.

My group included beginnews and advanced divers with us beginnerso never feeling pressured or hurried. Jeff made sure the divers knew every next step and what to expect and helped identify some of the high points I would have missed as a newbie, like the Goliath Grouper and Stingray which both were being shy.

I would recommend Scuba Marco to anyone who is looking to try scuba diving or even experience divers who is looking for something new. Thank you Jeff and team for a great experience, I will be getting certified and hope to see you soon!

Best in Florida. Jeff is a great instructor and guide. No hurries no worries. From local to a day trip to the keys, Scuba Marco is the way to go.

Can not say enough good about this shop. The people are amazing the crew both in the shop and on the boat are amazing. We went out and did some great diving. If I could go to 10 stars on this i would for these guys and girls. I will highly recommend this place to any person i know coming down this way to dive. Thank you so much Marco Scuba for the great day of diving.

Great store to work with I ordered a number of things and purchased items today super fun

Did two dives in the gulf today for a refresher and it was amazing! Saw a sea horse, first one in 10 years Jeff said for that area. 100 percent will be back. Shout out to Captain Nick for driving the boat and getting us there and back safely and Jeff for keeping us safe under the water!

Two dives today. I had an awesome experience. If you want to have fun this is the place. Every detail of the trip is well thought out and organized. Kool crew! I will be back.

I got my open water certification at Scuba Marco last week and had a great time! Everyone in the shop was fantastic and our instructor Melody was accommodating, patient, thorough, and a great teacher overall. Looking forward to returning some day in the future for my advanced certification!

I recently moved to Marco and was looking for a SCUBA community to learn about spearfishing, equipment, etc. I found it at SCUBA Marco. Everyone there is both knowledgeable and nice (which is a rare combination today). Pricing is competitive, people are great, and equipment is quality. What else could you need from a local dive shop?

Thanks to Jeff, John and Jessi for helping me finish off my scuba certification! Lots of fun! John brought us to some really great spots, Jeff was a great instructor showing us some cool aquatic life (sharks, rays, grouper, crabs, etc) and Jessi was super easy to work with on scheduling as well a providing advice for a n00b diver. I'll be back if I have the opportunity!

My son was dying to get his open water and dragged me along with him. I have to admit I was quite nervous about learning to dive, but after the first day I felt quite at ease with the gear and quickly built up confidence due to Jeff's patience and knowledge. Jessi had us suited up with gear in no time, . The gear was great quality and I felt very safe through the whole process. I can't say enough great things about the crew and the instruction. We had such a great time, there's nothing I want to do more now than dive. We will be back!

The folks here are fantastic. Great people, very knowledgeable and focused on their customers' needs.

My husband Mark and I dove with these guys about 2 weeks ago. The owners and crew are super friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the visability in the water wasn t so great but that s nature. However, the low visability was a great experience for me who has been diving less than a year. They made us feel comfortable and still made the dives fun. Thanks for the good time Scuba Marco!!

Captain Johnny and owner Jeff took us out today and showed us the underwater sites, and they were magnificent to behold! Goliath grouper, sting rays, jacks, turtles, leopard toadfish, bat fish, and massive swirling schools of silvery delightfulness so thick we lost sight of each other! Thanks for the great family memories!

Excellent customer service!
Knowledgeable in custom equiptment fit.

They have a very good selection for what you need great service well priced all around great dive shop would recommend it.

Great people. Very friendly and accommodating. Saw Goliath Grouper, sea turtles, nurses harks and many more.

14/10 would definitely recommend diving with Scuba Marco! It was my very first time to dive. I learned in the pool with Jeff. He was very patient and kind and gave us all the time we needed to feel comfortable. I felt 100% confident and comfortable about diving once we were finished. I dove in the bay and off the boat with instructor Melody. She was so patient and fun. I felt safe and relaxed. She showed me where all the cool critters lived and after the dive she told me what fish we saw, etc. It is 100% worth every penny! I will definitely be diving with them again!

The staff is wonderful. They are super kind and caring. They always make sure you feel comfortable. Diving was a lot of fun. I did my first open water dive here and they made the transition easy. Highly recommend!

Great staff. Services were exceptional. I completed my open water cert with Jeff, who was an experienced instructor. The team worked to schedule around participants schedule. I plan on returning as soon as I'm back in the area.

Excellent customer service!

I never thought that obtaining my scuba certification would be such a pleasure! Scuba Marco made my year long scuba endeavor a real treat. They always followed up with me, kept me on track, and were so flexible with my ever-changing/crazy schedule. Every time we talked over the phone or I would go into the shop I felt like I was catching up with old pals. Moreover, John was a fantastic and patient instructor and I can't wait to dive again with him! Not only did I feel safe while diving, but I was also super impressed with his vast knowledge of sea life! I'm so happy that my first experience with the diving community was with him, Jessi, and Jeff. I am so excited to make diving a big part of my life thanks to the folks at Scuba Marco!

The staff is the absolute best! They are so knowledgeable and nice! They aren't trying to sell you things you don't need. Absolutely worth the trip to Marco

I made a last minute call to Scuba Marco and spoke with Jessie, who was able to fit me into a dive the following day. I met with Jeff and Johnny, who took our group to the five mile reef. The crew is highly experienced and very safe. They also made it a priority to bring the divers somewhere we would have some nice views, despite the lingering red tide. I was fortunate enough to catch views of several goliaths, rays and plenty of other life. For two dives and gear rental, the price was very fair. I highly recommend a day trip with scuba Marco, and I d imagine a new student would also habe a good experience as well.

Team was great! They fit me in last minute when no other dive shop around could. Tyler was an excellent dive guide and very knowledge about the local dive sites. I would highly recommend and will make this an annual tradition when I return to Naples.

6 out of 5 stars. Jessi worked with our impossibly difficult schedule to get me open water certified. John and Jeff were very good instructors and made my training both fun and relaxing. They really will go the extra mile to give you the best experience and tailor it to your needs. I can't wait to come back for more! -Jon

Open water certification from start to finish by John, Jeff and Jessi. Best experience ever! Super fun and very thorough. Patient, kind and absolutely willing to go the extra mile for their customers. They went over and above and I can not recommend them highly enough. Awesome people, awesome service, awesome training. Live, Love, Dive
