Great experience! We just finished our Open Water certification and really enjoyed it. Barry did our in pool training and was very thorough and explained everything well. We did our lake dive with Brent who was greatGreat community of divers
An amazing experience with awesome instructors!
Barry is a amazing dive instructor ensuring each student is receiving the individual assistance they need as they progress through the course. I would highly recommend Barry and the the Scuba Adventures team.
If you are wiling to face your water fears, this is the place to be at! Best instructor any scuba student can ask for! A big thank you to Barry and those that were involved with the training. I appreciate all the vital information and for a wonderful time at the lake.
Just finished a refresher with Derek Coleman. He had a great sense of humor, extremely knowledgeable, and very patient. Would highly recommend any class he is teaching. Overall fantastic experience.
Windal Adam’s, Foster, and Greg were outstanding instructors. Very patient and made sure we were comfortable with all skills. I would highly recommend these guys and Scuba Adventures Plano for all your scuba needs and instruction!!

My sister and I had Windal, Greg and TJ for our pool training weekend and they made the process very comfortable. I have no prior diving experience and it was wonderful for beginners that are a little anxious to learn. We had Windal, Foster, Greg for our lake weekend dives and it was so much fun! More fun than I was expecting. Thanks guys! Highly recommend 🙂
Response from the owner: Thank you, Zoe, for the wonderful review! 🌊 We're so glad you and your sister had such a positive experience throughout both your pool training and open water weekends.Learning to dive can feel a little intimidating at first, especially with no prior experience, so it's great to hear that Windal, Greg, TJ, Foster, and the rest of the team helped make the process comfortable, enjoyable, and confidence-building. One of our favorite things is watching new divers discover just how much fun scuba can be, and we're thrilled that your lake weekend exceeded your expectations!Congratulations on your certification, and thank you for trusting us to be part of your diving journey.

GREAT PLACE! Very helpful, knowledgeable staff. Good selection of equipment.I went for snorkeling lessons (hard to find). Instructor was excellent. Answered all my questions and spent plenty of time working with me to become comfortable and capable. He gave me the confidence that with some practice I would enjoy snorkeling as I was never able to do before! Thanks so much!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the wonderful review! 🌊 We're so glad you found us and gave snorkeling a try. You're right, quality snorkeling instruction can be hard to find, and we're happy we could help make the experience enjoyable and approachable.It's great to hear that your instructor took the time to answer your questions, work at your pace, and help build your confidence. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is seeing someone discover that they can enjoy being comfortable in the water when they may not have felt that way before.Thank you for your kind words about our staff and equipment selection as well. We appreciate your trust in us and hope you enjoy many amazing snorkeling adventures in the future. We’d love to see you back in the shop anytime! 🤿🐠💙
My girlfriend, daughter, and I went here to perform a refresher on diving since it had been many years for my girlfriend and I and my daughter was fairly new to diving. Paul instructed 8 of us in the pool they have at the shop.Paul was very patient and understanding with those with less experience. He was very thorough and spent extra time helping us with the large group. He had suggestions on finning and setting up our dive gear. We all felt he went the extra mile and appreciated his efforts. I thought the pool and equipment was excellent also. We were all very happy with the experience and would recommend it to everyone.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Michael, for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you, your girlfriend, and your daughter had such a positive refresher experience with us. Getting back into diving after time away can feel intimidating, and we're glad Paul helped make the process comfortable, informative, and enjoyable for everyone.Paul is passionate about helping divers build confidence and improve their skills, so we're delighted to hear that his patience, attention to detail, and willingness to spend extra time with the group made a difference. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him.Thank you as well for the compliments on our pool and equipment. We work hard to provide an environment where divers can learn, refresh, and grow safely and confidently. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing all three of you back in the water soon! 🤿🌊💙
Scuba Adventures is a great learning center and dive shop! Barry is an excellent trainer who really cares about his students and their success in diving. Autumn, is very knowledgeable and skilled at helping choose your personal gear. Overall Scuba Adventures wants to help you succeed and become a skilled diver!!**UPDATE**My son and I went on a trip to Key Largo this past week. I never realized the invaluable information Barry taught me until we went diving!! From simple weight checks to breathe control. There are so many people who get their certification and can't do a weight check!! The breathe control techniques Barry taught me, I saw in action in Florida. Since the reefs are protected and you can't touch them, breathe control is vital to success. I was able to get so close to the reef and never touch it by controlling my breathing. Without Barry's instruction I would not have been able to get so close to the reefs, there were several people on our dives who could not get close due to poor bouancy control. Thank you Barry and Scuba Adventures for all you do!!!!!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🌊 We’re thrilled to hear that Barry helped make your training such a positive and supportive journey—he truly cares about every diver’s success. We’re also glad Autumn could guide you in choosing the right personal gear; she brings a lot of expertise and heart to making sure divers are comfortable and confident with their equipment.At Scuba Adventures, our goal is exactly what you mentioned—to help every student succeed and grow into a skilled, safe, and passionate diver. We can’t wait to see where your diving adventures take you next!
Barry and Greg were fantastic both in the pool and in the lake. I always felt confident I was getting the right direction and never felt stressed. Fantastic dive instructors!
Just picked up my gear from service. Had some new attachments and upgrades made and I’m so happy and completely satisfied with their service. Autumn and Michaela are both very friendly and knowledgeable and always give the best customer service! Best shop in DFW
Had a great re- learning experience and a fun time. Been over 25 yrs since last dive, I now have the confidence to make some dive trips ! The dive master was well versed and helped me get back to speed quickly. The rest of the team was helpful as well in getting my gear updated 🙂
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review! We’re especially glad to hear that after more than 25 years away from diving, you now feel confident and ready to plan some dive trips, that’s exactly what a refresher experience should accomplish. Our team takes pride in helping divers get back up to speed safely and comfortably, and we’re happy we could assist with updating your gear along the way. We appreciate you trusting Scuba Adventures with your return to diving and look forward to seeing you back in the water soon! 🤿🌊

My entire experience with them have been great. From the fitting of the equipment to the instruction in the pool and the open water dive. I cannot say enough great things about everybody we have encountered. They are great. Very professional and I feel very safe.

Got scuba certified here and had an amazing experience. Really helpful and friendly staff to guide you through and help if anything goes wrong. We did the open water checkout at San Marcos with crystal clear, warm water and did 4 dives there.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review, and congratulations on earning your scuba certification! 🌊 We’re so glad you had an amazing experience with our team and felt supported throughout the process. Spring Lake in San Marcos really is a special place to complete those checkout dives, and we’re happy you were able to enjoy the clear water and make the most of all four dives. We appreciate you choosing Scuba Adventures and look forward to diving with you again soon! 🤿
Darren was great. Very detailed and informative. I realized I really needed the refresher course. He spent tbe time with people in the class who needed extra instruction.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you found the refresher course valuable — sometimes it’s exactly what we need to rebuild comfort and confidence in the water. And thank you for the kind words about your instructor; we’ll be sure to pass them along! He takes pride in being detailed, thorough, and making sure everyone gets the extra attention they need. We appreciate you diving with us and look forward to seeing you back in the water soon! 🤿🌊
I love this place! We recently completed our open water certification down in San Marcos and had a blast even with below freezing air temperatures! From the beginning a few weeks ago in the pool with Barry and Derek, to Spring Lake with Windal and Paul, it was a wonderful experience! Michaela at the shop was extremely helpful and willing to stop whatever she was doing to make sure we were fitted for equipment properly, or to just sit with us and talk dive computers for a couple hours. They all love diving and it shows!It was a wonderful feeling when random people(not with our group) would approach us at Spring Lake and enthusiastically comment on how much they love the people/instructors from Scuba Adventures. Their reputation in the community is great and it shows!Another positive side note:There was a small child in our group of three at Spring Lake. Windal and Paul did an amazing job ensuring she was having fun working through the skills and never left her side. My son will be getting his open water cert soon and I'm so grateful I was able to watch them work with her underwater. It really put my mind at ease.We made the right choice going with Scuba Adventures and are planning to take more classes with them soon!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for this incredible review! 💙 We’re truly honored by your kind words and grateful that you chose Scuba Adventures for your Open Water certification, especially in such challenging (and chilly!) conditions.

Derek was patient and fun. Because of an incoming storm they had to combine classes and the pool was pretty full. Derek took time to work with every participant. Facilities were comfortable.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review! We really appreciate your flexibility with the weather changes, and we’re glad to hear Derek made sure everyone still received the attention they needed. He does a fantastic job balancing fun, patience, and quality instruction. We’re also happy you found the facilities comfortable. Thanks for diving with us, and we hope to see you again soon! 🤿🌊

This place is amazing! They helped me from day one with getting the equipment I needed and I have had a great experience ever since. The classroom and pool work training with Enrique was awesome! He helped me make sure I felt confident with all the skills and had enough time to actually become comfortable. Then the open water test with Barry, Autumn, and Tom was great! They helped a ton with great feedback and gave plenty of time to feel comfortable in the open water. I look forward to taking more classes through this place!

My husband and I took CPR with Dave and he was really awesome! He explained things really well and kept it simple. It’s a lot to remember but I feel so much more confident I can help in an emergency after having him teach us! You can also tell he’s got a very kind heart and is just a good soul.He’s also a dive instructor and my husband has a desire to learn so he will be back. I highly recommend learning here as Dave is top notch!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the kind words! 🌊 We’re thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your CPR course with Dave — he truly has a gift for making important skills approachable and confidence-building.

I recently completed the Open Water Dive certification, and can’t say enough great things about Scuba Adventures Plano and their staff and instructors. I came into this with zero Scuba experience, and they made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process starting with the selection of my personal gear. I strongly recommend them and have already booked another class for additional training.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 🌊 We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience earning your Open Water certification with us.

Completed my scuba certification and have to say the Brent & Barry were amazing! They were both patient and knowledgeable. The staff in the scuba shop are also all so sweet.

Outstanding Dive Shop with Exceptional Instructors!! I can't say enough great things about Scuba Adventures. From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel completely welcomed and at ease. Special thank you to my instructors Preston, Zach, and Barry! They were all very patient and the knowledge they bring to the table is top-tier. It's clear they’re passionate not only about diving but also about teaching it the right way. Every session was informative, safe, and a lot of fun. I left each class feeling more confident and excited about diving than ever before.

Enjoyed every second of my time with Dave and Bonnie our instructors. The overall experience with the Scuba Adventures from walking through the doors to get set up with gear and classes, to the weekend pool time all the way to our weekend at the lake at Scuba Ranch in Terrell was an amazing and awesome experience! I would highly recommend them to anyone that is wanting to get into scuba diving.

We’re so glad to have you as part of the Scuba Adventures family and can’t wait to dive with you again soon! 🤿💙
I have now taken a few courses through this shop, and I have experienced a massively high level of commitment to customer service, safety, and professionalism. Notably Autumn who I believe manages the store, and most recent dive instructor Mitzi Holdren.This past weekend Mitzi led my rescue diver training and Autumn assisted on the 1st of 2 days. Autumn, as always, was extremely helpful and supportive. I especially feel compelled to call out Mitzi as the best dive instructor with whom I’ve ever worked. I hold advanced open water and several specialty certifications.I told Mitzi I’m not there to brag about a new “card”, rather I felt a moral obligation to learn rescue diver skills. Mitzi was incredibly patient, instructive, and tough when she needed to be. I failed to adequately demonstrate the necessary skills on Saturday, and she clearly stated that to me, but she went out of her way to make it clear that this was not a failure, it was a normal part of a very challenging process. She then made herself available to me the next day to work on the skills, giving me every possible opportunity to perform the skills sufficiently to pass the corse.This was not a certification I “bought”. It was earned through hard work and commitment on my part, but without the professionalism, clear communication, integrity, expertise, sense of humor, and tough love from my instructor, I would not have achieved what may be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.Thank you Brent and Scuba Adventures for connecting me with Mitzi. I am a better diver thanks to you all.
Response from the owner: Thank you for such an incredible and heartfelt review. 🌊 Your words truly capture what we strive for at Scuba Adventures — training that builds not only skill and confidence but genuine growth as a diver and teammate. We’re so proud of the dedication you showed throughout your Rescue Diver course.Mitzi and Autumn will be deeply touched by your feedback — their professionalism, integrity, and passion for diving set the standard for our entire team. Rescue training is one of the most challenging and rewarding milestones in diving, and it’s clear you earned that certification through commitment and perseverance.We’re honored to have been part of your journey and grateful for the trust you place in us. Congratulations again on your accomplishment — you’ve truly earned it. 💙🤿
I just finished up my scuba refresher course @ Scuba Plano. It was a great experience and Derrick was AWESOME! He made the class fun, he was very knowledgeable, and he made sure to answer any questions that we had.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your refresher course and that Derek made it both fun and informative. He truly takes pride in making sure every diver feels confident and supported, so we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. We look forward to diving with you again soon! 🌊🤿
I have to shout out Scuba Adventures. We booked for snorkeling class months in advance because we were going to open water to swim with whalesharks and my daughter had never snorkeled. A booking snafu potentially could have ruined our training but they demonstrated the highest customer service and resolved our issue quickly. Thanks to Doug, our instructor, we accomplished our bucketlist goal with confidence.Tip- they may require a doctor's note to ok training so be sure to fill out health forms asap and give yourself time.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad we were able to quickly resolve the booking issue so you and your daughter could focus on what really mattered—getting ready for your whale shark adventure. 🐋✨ Derek will be thrilled to know his instruction helped you feel confident and prepared to check off such an incredible bucket-list goal.We also appreciate your thoughtful tip about the medical form—it’s an important part of ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort in the water. We’re so glad we could be a part of making your adventure memorable, and we hope to see you again for more underwater experiences!
I WENT TO ASK SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLASSES, AND LUCY IS THE BEST OF THE BEST, SHE IS WONDERFUL, SHE TOOK HER TIME TO EXPLAIN TO ME AND SHOW ME EVERYTHING I HAVE TO KNOW, DEFINITELY I'LL BE BACK TO TAKE THE CLASS. THANK YOU LUCY.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad Lucy was able to give you the time and attention you needed—she truly loves helping future divers feel comfortable and informed. 🌊✨ We’ll be excited to welcome you back when you’re ready to start your class!
Great experience & so glad I did a refresher/ ReActivate course. Brent was patient with me & definitely helped to 'refresh' my skills! I was also working against a quick timeline & they were able to get me in a private course that worked with my schedule.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your review! We’re glad we could arrange a private refresher/ReActivate on a quick timeline. It’s not often that Brent teaches refreshers, but he really enjoyed working with you—and it turned out to be a rewarding experience for both of you. We’re happy to hear you left feeling confident and refreshed, and we look forward to seeing you back in the water soon! 🌊

I can’t recommend this place enough. After moving to the area, I read a lot of reviews and emailed several dive shops before going with Scuba Adventures. I choose them because they were the most responsive and helpful. The owners seem to not only be great divers but have business backgrounds. This is the most focus on customer service I have seen in a dive shop. Good inventory with all of the brands I could ask for. On point with their pricing. If you do find a better price they will work with you.

I ended up taking the Rescue Diver course and had a blast! I just got back from a dive trip with them at Lake Travis, very enjoyable. They also have one of the only indoor pools (18 ft.) in the area.

At Scuba ranch they have a big spot that is one of the easiest to get to and a nice pavilion for training. They are right next to the air refill station, which I love! Family and friends are welcome at the ranch. Good community there on weekends and you'll most likely find a dive buddy for a fun dive.

Scuba Adventures and their staff are beyond amazing! Their Plano store has a very wide selection of equipment and the pool is 18ft deep! Their Scuba Ranch location is amazing and still growing, with plenty of room and seating. I’m a fairly new diver and all the instructors do an amazing job of making me feel safe and secure deep underwater. Their staff is always very helpful and I can’t wait to continue my diving knowledge and certificates with them.

Found a great diving shop for all my gear. Been living here in texas for awhile and this shop has just what I needed. Really recommend scuba adventure for all your gear.

Went in last week to pick out goggles for an upcoming trip— loved the selection of masks they had available! Ended up picking out a hot pink pair to shamelessly match the other accessories I’d picked out.

The new owners are the greatest! Their positive approach towards people and the sport of diving are huge part of the reason I love the sport. When they told me they were going to open a dive shop; I knew without a doubt I was going to be their customer. I have taken several dive adventures with them and other scuba diving misfits, and plan on taking many more.

Decided to revisit this shop since it is under new management. Already impressed with the facility improvements - by far the best training pool I have seen. Looking forward to the roll out of the full training curriculum - will be able to go from open water certified through all kinds of technical specialties. Good dive gear selection. Owners really have a great vision for promoting scuba diving and ocean adventures.

This is the shop with the most experienced and competent personnel in the metroplex. Their commitment to safe, enjoyable and professional instruction is obvious from the first time you enter the store and meet the staff and owners. I have dove with most of them over the years and know first hand the love of diving they have and now share with the community as the new team. They are knowledgeable and up to date with the latest dive info. Don't miss a chance to dive with them.

In January 2020, Scuba Adventures was purchased by divers that were affiliated with a different scuba store. These same divers taught me to dive, and got me to fall in love with scuba diving (despite me being pretty scared to start). I trust them, enough that I opted to take a trip with them to Cozumel for diving in 2019. It was one of the best trips of my life, and now I'm already signed up for their Costa Rica dive trip in 2020 with Scuba Adventures. I haven't visited the shop yet, but I can 100% vouch for the new owners--they are knowledgeable divers, good people, and all around amazing.

Owners and staff are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Allowed me to try backplate and wing set up in the pool. They did not pressure me to buy anything, but gave great information on products and financing options. All in all great staff and would recommend them to anyone!!!

Great customer service, from the owners to the employees. Very knowledgeable about everything and anything pertaining to scuba diving. The instructors are highly educated and experienced in scuba diving. They put you through real life scenarios, so you know and understand what to do in the event something happens while you are under water. My family and I learned a lot about scuba diving in a very short amount of time. We will definitely keep taking additional courses with Scuba Adventures as we progress. We definitely reccomend Scuba Adventures to anyone wanting to learn and get scuba diving certified.
