I did my PADI open water certification here. The instructor (and other dive pros) were good, understanding, and very helpful. People operating the dive shop were super friendly as well.
Seven seas scuba is conveniently located on Cannery row, and the actual open water dives are done on the beach less than 100 yards away. This makes things like refilling empty cylinders, renting gear, or returning gear really easy.
The only downside I see is the cold Monterey water, which often has a very low visibility. I lost my buddy a couple times while going through sections where visibility was as low as 3 ft. Of course, the store has no control over this.
