Our first scuba dive class went splendidly and we very much enjoyed this experience. We had the best instructor, Caitlin, who we could sense just cared so deeply about giving us the best and safest experience. I would highly recommend Banyan divers to all experience levels.

My husband and I had never been scuba diving and were really curious to try it out. We drove to one site to get our suits fitted and to learn the basics. Then we all drove to a nearby beach with our gear. It was just our instructor, my husband and I and one other person. Our scuba instructor was very clear and knowledgeable! Everything went very smoothly and our instructor was very patient and kind with us. I actually ended up voicing that I didnā€™t feel like proceeding and she helped me get out of the water and call it a day. I always felt safe and heard. I highly recommend this experience for beginners.

Aloha, thank you for taking the time to share your dive experience. We are glad that you felt safe and heard when you found that diving wasn't for you. Communication is so important and it's great that you communicated clearly when you didn't feel comfortable moving forward. We greatly appreciate your review and hopefully it will help other nervous divers to know that there's no pressure to take to diving on the first try.
