“Scott is a nice guy. The lesson would be a bit too easy if you have absolutely zero idea how to surf because Scott doesn’t teach you a whole lot of advanced techniques. But if you are just looking for a fun time riding waves and feeling the movement, this is a really good one as Scott is very experienced at finding good waves for beginners and helping you get a lot of practice which is more important for this sport.”

“My two adult daughters (both mid-20s) had done a few dives in their teens in Europe but never were PADI certified. We did the Discover Scuba dive together on the Wharf and it was perfect! Probably saw 30 turtles- many within arms reach. 2 sharks as well. Joe did a great job refreshing my daughters on their skills before we went down- superb instructor and patient with beginners but not overly controlling. I’ve been diving in Egypt, Mexico, Spain, and Oahu and this was on par or better than all four.”
