We took the open water dive course. We had Fantastic instructors. The multiple instructors all had various specialty certifications and years of diving across the world. Thank you to the instructors Ryan, Norm, Cassie and John. Can’t forget Paul. He stayed at the shop until after 10pm and then hand delivered my new regulator to the dive site. That’s Service!!!!We have already signed up for the Advanced class and a have a few dives planned at Red Fish in Stanley Idaho and the Homestead Crater in Midway Utah.

First off I would like to mention how AMAZING and welcoming the staff were! Second The Kayaking exactly experience on the Snake River was also amazing. I only did the 2 hour rental, which was GREAT, but next time I pass by Idaho I will definitely try the 8 hour rental experience!

We did the Zipline with Noah & Casey & had a blast! They were very skilled & made sure we were comfortable & were very knowledgeable about ziplining & the park & surrounding areas. We had a wonderful morning with them & were very happy with their recommendations on other things to do locally. Would definitely come back when in the area again.

Took the Scuba Open Water Certification class through AWOL. Everyone in the shop was helpful an did whatever they could to work with me and other members with scheduling, gear etc. My first fun dives after certification were in Okinawa, the dive guide told me point blank not only was I doing extremely well for a new diver, who ever taught me to dive did an excellent job of it! Highly recommend AWOL!

We had such a great time on the 2 kayaks we rented! We recommend doing the four hour timeslot, rather than the 2 hour. That gave us more than enough time to kayak down to Pillar Falls and back. We could have done in two hours, but we enjoyed the beauty. It was worth the extra cost. The staff was awesome and so friendly. They made the experience that much sweeter. Thanks for the rental team!

The owner is very rude and unprofessional. Last weekend we took our kids kayaking for the first time. We had a rough start once we got into the river. (None of this AWOLs fault). We floated down stream, tipped over and it took us almost 40 minutes to get past the dock that we started from. But the kids got the hang of it and we headed towards the bridge. When we got to the bridge our 8 year old was exhausted. We stopped and rested where there was a bank to tie to. At this point went to check my phone for the time and realized my phone was in my pocket when I tipped over and now not working because its wet, so we didnt know what time it was so we started heading back... Slowly, we tied our youngests kayak to ours and had tow her. On our way back a boat stopped and offered us a ride back in after seeing how tired everyone was. They got us back to shore. We were greeted by the angry owner yelling at us about how search and rescue is on their way and how Im going to pay for the extra time his employees spent there or he was going to press charges on me because he is a volunteer deputy and so on. Not once did he ask if we were okay or ask why were returned so late, the staff seen our struggle getting started. i would think they would know we were probably having a hard time. I had no problem paying for our extra time but to be threatened to be put in jail if we didnt pay was unprofessional and uncalled for especially since I had no problem paying. He charged us more than what he charges to rent a kayak for an entire day for less than 3 hours of us. We agreed because of his threats. The kayaks worked fine, his staff is nice but he is a jerk!!!!!!

Went zip lining this week and had a great experience! Chris and Cory our guides were awesome. We were in a group of four and they were very patient with all of us wanting to pull out our phones every 20 mins to take pictures lol they didn’t mind at all. Will deff go back this summer to try out kayaking.

We just got back from an amazing trip to Beqa, Figi with AWOL dive center. It was a dive trip of a lifetime. I got 12 dives in six days. A very special shark dive was a highlight. I went on my first night dive and I got my advanced open water certification while there. Paul Melni the owner of AWOL was my instructor and guide thru the week and he is very professional, helpful, and extremely patient. Paul is always concerned with safety and teaches at your level. His years of experience in diving makes you feel very comfortable as he explains, teaches, and makes sure you understand the skills. But the best thing about Paul is his fun personality and making all the dives unforgettable.I can not say enough about AWOL dive center; Paul and Krysta Melni and the fantastic time they showed us on a very well planned dive trip. Can not wait to go again with AWOL.
