I can’t say enough wonderful things about Azimuth Scuba! My 13 year old son and I just recently were open water certified, my son was terrified but it was something he really wanted to do. The instructors were so patient and Brian did some work with him 1:1 to make him more comfortable and help him achieve his goal. Everything was very well organized and all of the instructors were very knowledgeable. I can’t wait to get more certifications through Azimuth and do more fun dives!

The staff and instruction at Azimuth is thorough and is paced in a way that made me feel I learn at my own speed. Brian and his staff has corrected a lot of key aspects of my diving that makes me much more comfortable as I am a brand new diver as of Feb 2021. Dont let a bad experience or intimidation keep you out of diving, go to Azimuth SCUBA.

I came to Azimuth Scuba after a bad experience and EVERYONE at Azimuth took the time and extra effort to talk with me, teach me, and make me feel comfortable when it comes to diving. The instruction you receive through Azimuth leaves you feeling extremely knowledgeable and confident in your abilities. Azimuth Scuba sets the bar for expectations when it comes to dive training, and even far exceeds that. Azimuth Scuba is by far one of the best businesses and services when it comes to scuba diving. Brain and his team are above and beyond in every single aspect. I cannot speak enough to the shops utmost professionalism and knowledge. Azimuth is truly the BEST shop around when it comes to learning Scuba at any level. I would travel over a hundred miles just to do go through Azimuth.AMAZING job to Brian and team.Thank you for all your hard work and knowledge shared.

I went there for the concealed carry class they offer and it was amazing! Brian really went through everything with detail and makes sure that you are comfortable with handling your firearm as well as the laws and responsibilities that go along with carrying. The small classes made it easy to work one on one through any troubles or questions you might have. Being the only girl in this latest group, I felt very well informed and very welcomed through the whole thing! When the time comes to renew I am definitely going back!

A friend recommended Azimuth Scuba when we considering getting into diving. The thought of driving over an hour and a half was not exactly thrilling us, but after reading the reviews and listening to our friend we went with Azimuth.We cant say enough about how great our experience was. We were fortunate to do our classroom work with Brian, whose many years and varied diving experiences have taught him so many lessons and insights that he shared with us.For our actual dives, the pool training was with Joe, who added his first-responder skills to his diving lessons. For our open water training at Pearl Lake we worked with Bob, a man who has been on many ocean and freshwater dives throughout the world.Being educators, Kathy and I were impressed with these three aspects of the Azimuth Scuba team. They are passionate about diving and the wonders and joys experienced under water. The have a great respect for nature and the wildlife that inhabit the waters of the Earth. They are patient, thoughtful, encouraging, caring teachers who always made us feel confident that we could safely accomplish the skills, no matter how many attempts it took us.Along with the quality people at Azimuth it is clear that they take great pride in their shop and excellent care of the diving equipment that is used in the course.It is often said you get what you pay for, but with Azimuth Scuba we definitely believe we got way more than we paid for.

The service and scuba companionship presented from this shop is above and beyond any shop Ive worked with.

Azimuth scuba is the place to go! I got interested in scuba through a relative and came into the whole situation a little nervous. Through descriptive classes and dives with Brian and his staff, you will leave feeling completely confident in the water. They really make sure you know your stuff and never put you in situations to make you feel uncomfortable, it’s all at your own pace. Thanks again to Brian and Rich for turning me into an avid diver!

Great experience with Brian and all his staff. I did my open water certification with Rich Lower (as well as my sons, niece, and future daughter-in-law). Fantastic training sessions.When it came time to purchase equipment, they took their time, explained everything, piece by piece, and I have not had one problem with any of it.I am sure if I have issues, Azimuth Scuba will take care of it.When I went on a outing with a group from Azimuth, everyone was helpful and friendly. I travel 2 hours one way to get to the shop, and it is more than worth it.Always good to work with.

Why bother having normal business hours if the door is always locked?! Its 3 pm on a Saturday (open sat 10-6) and we drove from out of town to see a locked store. Zero service. At least loves park scuba is open when they say they are. Will not be fooled again.

Brian and the other instructors are wonderful. They are very patient and took extra time with my wife who was struggling with anxiety and physical limitations. They are very knowledgeable, a good resouce for diving equipment and a great place to learn diving! I am looking forward to diving with the Azimuth diving community as well.
