Just finished up the Open Water Dive training. It was a great experience. I am really looking forward to more training opportunities with the great instructors at Hoboken Dive Center.
The staff here is excellent. Would highly recommend them for learning to dive. It is a smaller shop, but has everything you need.
In the fall of 2014 I got my Advanced Open Diver certification through Hoboken Dive Center, and theyve also done a great job working with my 11 year-old son to get certified. In the time Ive trained with them, Stewart, Yunior and Art were incredibly helpful in developing the skills needed to dive in both a fun and safe manner. Overall, its a really good group of guys.Their pricing on diving gear is also very competitive with anything youll find online, and they are very helpful in steering you to exactly what you need.
I started training with Yunior and Stewart since last September and I had an amazing experience with them. I did my Open Water and Advanced Open Water training with these guys. Yunior and Stewart are extremely patient and assuring even if you are hydrophobic. They will let you take your time and not rush you into doing things. They make sure you do things the right way but at your own pace and comforts.They do have specials going on every now and then which are amazing and price-worthy. I compared the prices they offer to the prices online and they have always given me a price which cannot be beat. I bought all my equipment and gear from these guys.They ensure that the dive gear they rent out also are of good quality and they maintain the required quality. They are always ready with backups and servicing just in case should any equipment malfunction.In conclusion, Hoboken Dive Center is a one-stop shop for all of your scuba diving needs. Yunior,who is at the shop most of the times,takes the time to understand your needs, explains products in detail and will help you determine what you need to achieve your goals without upselling you or directing you towards gear you dont need and wont use. The staff has been excellent to work with and I cant say anything negative about the shop. The prices are reasonable, the staff is knowledgeable, and the instructors are top notch.Starting to dive at HDC has been a treat. I have learned many new skills and gained many new friends, as HDC is not only a shop, but a school and a culture as well. Many customers come by the shop to chat, and I couldnt be any happier with my experiences with Hoboken Dive Center.
