My 12 year old son and I did a discovery class and OW certification during COVID. There was only one pool in the area available so scheduling with the pool was challenging. Ken and Kevin were very responsive and gave a lot of special attention to my son to ensure we could both learn the skills being taught. This included a special 1 on 1 OW dive. I also have purchased a bc from them. They were very flexible scheduling a time to assemble the equipment and spent 2 hours helping me put everything together and answering all of my questions. We will definitely take more classes/trips through By The Shore. I love being able to support local businesses through equipment purchases as well. It is an added bonus that their prices are the same or better than internet prices. Great shop and good people.

I had an opportunity to learn from Kevin and Adam for OW training. They set an easy pace and personalized the experience to meet each class members needs. They are easy to work and dive with, fun experience overall. They offer great support, flexibility, adventure, and always excited to dive!

Kevin is such a patient diving instructor. When I first started taking classes, he showed me all the options I could choose from for equipment ranging from low to high cost and explaining the pros and cons of each. During the sessions, he was very calm and answered all the questions I had for him and then some. He carefully went through the information, summarizing some of the more simple concepts but still remaining thorough and he was sure to review all the material continuously.For anyone that is thinking of getting a scuba diving license, I highly recommend going to By the Shore because I dont think any other place will be like it!

Kevin at By The Shore is an outstanding SCUBA Diving Instructor. He pays close attention to your level of understanding and put you at ease in the water. Kevin knowledge about what I needed in gear was very helpful and clearly saved me money. A recommend Kevin for both SCUBA instruction and SCUBA trips.

So I had a terrible experience trying to set up a day to do a refresher course with my girlfriend. We emailed Kevin over a month ago and tried to set up a date to come in. He did not respond so I had to reach out to him around 2 weeks later to remind him we were interested. At this point we set up a date but i had to contact him again about 2 weeks later to see what time the class was at. He had a bit of trouble pencilling me in for the day as he had forgot our appointment and scheduled another class on that day. However we worked that out. Finally on the day of (Sunday) he sends us medical forms to fill out 5 hours before our appointment to get signed off on by a doctor...on a Sunday. As such we cant make it now and have effectively wasted over a month of our time reminding him of our appointments to not be able to make it due to his lack of organization. As such I wouldnt recommend using this company. They are cheap for a reason apparently.

Too the refresher SCUBA class yesterday, as it has been five years since I was in the water. Kevin was SUPER patient with me - made me feel very comfortable in the water. The pace was unhurried - I never felt rushed (which was a GOOD thing!). I highly recommend Kevin - try it - you wont be sorry!!!!

Awesome group of dedicated scuba dive staff that will make sure you have a great diving experience! This is a great family oriented company, with a focus on making your experience all they can be.

My husband and I were certified as Open Water SCUBA divers by By The Shore SCUBA and Kevin Alexander in December 2014. I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. Kevin managed to fit in our certification experience during a very short period before we went on our first diving trip. My husband used to dive but had not been in about 10 years. I was brand new to diving. Kevin did a great job teaching both us and making sure we had mastered all of the necessary skills. He was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and professional throughout the course. I was particularly nervous and worried about the concept of SCUBA, and Kevin was so patient with me! He always made sure I was comfortable before moving on to the next lesson. It became obvious what an exceptional teacher Kevin is when we went on our diving trip-- we were much better prepared than the other open divers there. I would highly recommend getting certified (or recertified!) with By The Shore Scuba and Kevin Alexander to anyone. Not only will you learn a lot and come away a certified diver, you will have a great time. Kevins a great guy in addition to being an excellent instructor!

A big thank you to Kevin for his flexibility in working with me on my scuba certification.Kevin is a very experienced, matured, and knowledgeable diver, and you can certainly tell that he enjoys teaching for the love of the sport. He tended to every detail and worked with me to meet all PADI standards with patience and the highest level of professionalism.

Just did a Cozumel Mexico trip with this company, excellent dive site, professional boat crew, all round wonderful trip

Great teacher...
