Scuba West

Recently obtained my open water diver cert at Scuba West. Great experience! All of the staff super knowledgeable. John Boaders was my instructor. Great guy. Answered all my questions, great explanation of everything. Took his time to make sure I was comfortable. If you want your scuba cert, Scuba West it's your place! ! !

Matt from SCUBA West did a fantastic job of introducing my son to night diving, and giving us a fun night tour of the Grotto. We were also able to acquaint ourselves with the dive site earlier in the day with the guidance of our volunteer diver Frank! Thank you both for a great day of diving at Hudson Grotto!!

Although when you first drive in you think this place is sketchy. Walking through the doors this establishment is state-of-the-art. They have top of the line gear & employees. The water well is what it is but don't let that send you packing, go down & explore the hidden treasures that have been placed.

Absolutely 💯 💯 the best quality services for Dive and Scuba gear at reasonable prices! I took part of my OWC here at their pool. They have a FULL SERVICE SCUBA SHOP AND FILL TANKS AND SELL QUALITY GEAR FOR GREAT PRICES! I CANT EMPHASIZE THIS MORE. I dive locally and LOVE this place! EVERYONE is absolutely HELPFUL and KNOWLEDGEABLE. These people KNOW THEIR STUFF. Visit and find out!...they also have an amazing 👏 ✨️ dive location directly across from the shop, The Hudson Grotto...OVER 100 FEET DEEP with platforms at respective depths...did I forget to mention...THEY TEACH DIVE CLASSES HERE! Get involved in LITERALLY (in my opinion) one of the BEST SPORTS IN FLORIDA! Also... I bought this mask there...ITS AWESOME!!! THANK YOU JOE!

My son and I took our open diver class here. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and does a great job explaining things and provides good detail beyond just the basic knowledge, they explain why. Prices are reasonable and they work with you.
Some people out there talk down about the Grotto, I found the ease of access between the class room, pool, and the Grotto to be awesome. No long drives or boat rides to perform open water drives. Everything you need within 100yards (plus there is beer next door to celebrate completion of your cert!). The Grotto is not that bad and I think if offers some unique opportunities to work on skills that are not part of normal dive courses and it is a fantastic place to work on skills and get to know your gear. It is also distraction free, not crowded, and helps you focus on your skills and stay in a learning mindset.
