Pete and Dan were absolutely amazing to work with, and a wealth of experience and knowledge. Didn't mind answering my 50,000 questions, and had an answer for everything I asked. The dives I completed with them were the last ones necessary for my Advanced Open Water course. I look forward to diving with them again, in the future.

Extremely friendly.

Due to circumstances and my own delays, I was 6 days from going on a dive trip to Belize and had failed to get our equipment serviced. He was able to work us in and get it done.

Hopefully in the future we can come back and do some classes.

Oh. Forgot. It was great that he took the time to talk me through some stuff and how equipment worked. You can tell he cares.

Best dive shop experience I have ever encountered. The staff here truly cares about making sure students learn how to dive safely. Also, excellent place to have all of your dive gear serviced. George is an excellent teacher and technician. He will make your gear proper again if you haven't picked it up in years.

My wife and I started our PADI Open Water Dive instruction at another dive shop. For a variety of reasons we were not comfortable with that shop and sought out another to complete or certification.

Pete and George at Inland Water Divers immediately came across as highly professional and took extra time to answer all of our many questions. We signed up and began our program. My wife had trouble with equalizing and was apprehensive about diving as until nine months ago she had never put her head under water. Pete went out of his way to take her out to Lake Pleasant and provide one-on-one instruction to ease her anxiety and provide options for equalizing.

During the closed water portion of the certification, George took the time to ensure that all members of the class were not only comfortable with the skills but proficient as well. The open water portion of the certification was held at Lake Pleasant under less than ideal visibility conditions (roughly three feet to three inches). George was very patient with all of the students ensuring that we were comfortable and that we had the necessary skills down pat. If at any time one of us became uncomfortable, we were taken aside for one-on-one instruction. Due to Pete and George's dedication to their students, we all successfully received out open water certification.

I cannot say enough positive things about Inland Water Divers. There are several Dive Shops in the valley that offer instruction however, in our opinion, Inland Water Divers is far and away the best. If you are apprehensive at all, go see Pete and he will ensure that you have a great and safe experience.

We look forward to continuing to build our dive skills through advanced courses with Inland Water Divers. Thank you again Pete and George. You are rock stars.

Just returned from Inland Water Divers trip to the Bahamas on the Blackbeard’s Dive Sailboat. It was fantastic. Thanks to Marcus and Diana for a great time. Marcus is very knowledgeable and did a great job taking care of 17 crazy divers. Tanner and I had a blast. Will book again for sure. Thanks

Got to meet Diane today. Had a great time talking to her and sharing some pictures. Of course, she talked me into buying stuff! I'm just kidding, or am I😁?
