Scuba Schools of America & Swim

Rusty, Brad, and the team at Scuba Schools of America & Swim are the real deal. My 15yr old daughter and I just got certified for scuba and not only are they great instructors, they go the extra mile to make sure you are well trained, safe, and have a fantastic experience. Highly recommended.

After retiring I had a goal of pursuing more adventure activities including scuba diving. Scuba Schools of America in Montclair California has provided me with excellent scuba training. As I was not young in starting to learn scuba diving I appreciated their patience and detailed instruction. Due to the pandemic the zoom classes were a helpful benefit to gain the necessary knowledge and have a more complete understanding of diving. Additionally I was always afforded practice time in the pool to continually better my skills. Being new to diving the guidance on choosing the right equipment was appreciated. To utilize my new diving skills the SSA Montclair shop offers many boat dives. Learning to scuba dive has provided me with an amazing experience.

My first experience ever has been great. Today while I was trying to get repairs on a project suit he came back after shop was closed to help me out. Talk about going well above and beyond for customers. Thanks for that. Would definitely recommend this shop. Customer service that is good is hard to find now of days and this place still has it. Absolute excellence

I started diving with Scuba Schools of America in October of last year and it was instrumental in getting me back into the sport since taking a brief hiatus. I’m so impressed by their professionalism, knowledge and attitude about diving. They make sure to give divers plenty of opportunities to learn more about the sport, get certified safely, and get them out on the water... A LOT. I’ve been diving for 9 years, but with SSA I’m still learning new techniques that make me a better diver. I’ve decided to go through the instructor program at SSA because I’m convinced it is the best ITC out there and will continue to enhance my skills.

I have been coming here since last Aug after searching different shops to become certified. Niki and Rusty were both patient and answered all my questions I had at the time. The way they taught was very informative and suited me for the way that I learn.
Have meet some great people from here both staff wise and also diver wise who have been friendly and have helped me to grow in this sport.
Do I recommend this place yes I do and have also referred friends to here that are also thinking about taking up scuba. For my friends that do scuba dive I let them know about upcoming international trips that Scuba X Travels have planned for the upcoming year.
