Scuba Class and Diving

Since becoming a certified diver I have been traveling around the world and diving in many different countries. Everywhere I go I feel comfortable and secure due to the training that I received from Charleston Scuba.

Great Experience! Highly recommend to anyone!

We were signed up with another dive company in Charleston--but they canceled on us the same morning of our flight! But Charleston Scuba scrambled to accommodate us and got us an instructor at the last minute. Jason, Jordan, and then Jeff totally took care of us and we just awesome. I'm so glad we got these guys"

Perfect Intro into Scuba Diving

Morgan taught the class and pool portions of our certification and did a fantastic job! Helpful, patient, articulate. Thanks for a fantastic experience Charleston Scuba; I'm excited for the Charleston 60 dive to finish off my certification!

Refresher course

I took a half-day refresher course in a pool with Charleston Scuba, as it has been some years since my last dive. The instructor, equipment, class size, etc where perfect.

Diving with Charleston Scuba

Charleston has some great diving and Tom and crew at Charleston Scuba are experts in helping you enjoy the sights. I have been diving with Charleston Scuba for many many years and they always bend over backwards to make your trip memorable.

Kudos to the Dive Shop

Although I really don’t dive in the Charleston area (I dive almost yearly in the Caribbean or Pacific), I have used Charleston Scuba for all my equipment needs since moving here 9 years ago. Whether it’s just asking a question, having equipment serviced or buying equipment, I have never been disappointed.
