The best scuba store in town bar none. Rob and staff are so helpful and knowledgeable
This is an awesome place to be! be! Rob and all the staff are people-first. Love Island Hoppers!
Went in for a simple mask and snorkel purchase and got great advice.
Staff is friendly and they have the best dive gear. I have taken most of all my certification classes here.
Very friendly and extremely helpful. Always willing to help
Just love these folks! They always go the extra mile to take care of their customers.
I cant say enough good things about Island Hoppers. Rob is wonderful. The divemasters are great. And the shop is well stocked. I used IH for my Nitrox, Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver.
I completed their PADI Open Water Diver course yesterday and the experience was great. The course was planned very well, the instructors were thorough and pleasant, and the price was good. Most importantly though, I left feeling competent and having a deep understanding of the various principles and skills used in scuba diving, despite beginning the course as a complete novice. Also, the shop is conveniently located and the prices are great. I hope to go on one of their international dive trips soon. Good work Island Hoppers, highly recommend.
This place is amazing! Yes, they carry lots of SCUBA gear but its the people that make this place truly stand out. I met the owner through a mutual friend that knew I wanted to get certified. Rob and the entire staff were not only courteous, they were very knowledgeable and even kept me from buying items I didnt need, while also pointing me to items that were cheaper and simpler for my entry into this lifestyle.I do a lot of research before I buy gear. The staff saw my enthusiasm and lack of real knowledge and met me with a smile and a lot of patience. Even when I would call randomly about things I had no business even knowing (can I use this regulator on Trimix as an example).In the end, not only did I take my open water certification with them, I did my Nitrox as well and will be doing as many classes as I can with them. I have a few other places I can go that are far closer, but its the staff and their willingness to steer you right, not most profitable, that makes Island Hoppers my favorite dive shop.
Absolutely wonderful shop. The owner is one of the most friendliest people that I have enjoyed meeting. He was very helpful during my process of getting my licence. The instructors are very good and patient at what they do. I highly recommend this business.
The owner, Rob Harris, has been in the scuba business more than two decades and has developed a faithful following. Many of his scuba friends go back to the beginning of his career. Its because he is knowledgeable, honest, and he loves people. You rapidly go from being a customer to being a friend.Island Hoppers features the best in scuba gear and his professional staff are as good as any youll find anywhere.Island Hoppers offers numerous travel opportunities to a variety of destinations and the shop and Rob have such a good reputation for a positive scuba experience that the trips book up quickly.Try them!
Rob is such a nice guy to deal with. I’m so excited to go to Indonesia with him. I have no reservations in recommending them.
Fantastic place to learn how to dive. They are rigorous and will make sure that you understand everything. They also have a great shop with excellent gear at excellent prices. Rob and the team are the best!
My boyfriend and I decided to pursue a dream of ours to start scuba diving. I cannot recommend island hoppers enough- Rob the owner and our instructor James are both amazing. I actually had an unforeseen anxiety attack during training (came out of nowhere!!) And they were so patient with me throughout the process. They will go above and beyond to make sure you have a positive experience. The shop is also very well priced, and theres no pressure to purchase- it is a very honest shop. I cannot wait to go on one of their tours- great people and overall a great experience!!!
Best scuba shop around! Great equipment selection, training, service, and the best dive trips youll find anywhere all at reasonable prices. I wouldnt go anywhere else for my diving needs in the Nashville area. I still book trips with them even after moving across the country thats how great Island Hoppers is!
What a great scuba place. Stopped in yesterday just to check out their selection and I can already tell you this is my new favorite Nashville Scuba Shop. As the previous reviewer said, the owner Rob completely gets what Scuba is about. I was there for almost 3 hours just talking and hanging out. Probably at least 5 other people stopped in while I was there just to chat and hang out as well. Highly recommended and very much looking forward to the social outings here and the trips with Island Hoppers! Great job putting this place together Rob!
I have done business with Rob for nearly 10 years and you will not find a more honest or passionate business owner or scuba professional. Rob and his staff are experts in their field and are glad to share their knowledge with you. Island Hopper Scuba sells only top of the line equipment and travel services.
Ive been diving with IHS for a couple years now and have had the best vacations Ive ever had. My knowledge of SCUBA and the dive industry has expanded greatly resulting in a greater love for diving. The service is the best, no pressure to buy and Rob always gives all the details and costs up front, no hidden fees.
Stop by to ask a question. Got this look and slight impression like I had no business being there. Mabie it was my old car? Based on the reviews Im sure it was just misinterpreted... Otherwise seems like they have some good gear in there and it is in a convenient area to get my tanks filled.
Always have a good experience with them. Greg taught my open water class!
Very helpful. Super nice folks. The dog its great.
My wife and I have known, been trained by Rob. We have traveled and dived with him and his family. I recommend Island Hoppers and Rob Harris highly for gear, training, service and travel.
Fantastic service and prices
Great customer service, always a pleasure!
Great people!
