Great diving and learning experience by MH1313 via Citysearch on 3/6/2012
I had a great experience at Village Divers and would recommend them highly to anyone who wants to learn to dive. I went back to the pool 6 times at no extra charge and was able to go at my own speed in terms of learning and repeating…
save your money by mary lake via Citysearch on 2/13/2011
This place was awful. The reviews are right-the owner is rude and is more focused on selling you expensive equipment than teaching you how to dive. His equipment is way over priced and you are pressured to buy on the spot. He is awful,…
Amazing place to learn and enjoy diving. by kanimo1 via Citysearch on 10/24/2010
I came in to Village Divers in the beginning of July just to get some basic information and maybe go through the open water class.
This store's atmosphere and amazing instructors got me completely addicted to diving. Have been diving with…
ready for the open water! by Coryaz via Citysearch on 10/6/2010
I just finished my pool session and loved it! I'm looking forward to the open water session. I think the instructor was cool -- I feel ready for serious dives. I'd recommend this instructor/shop.
would recommend this shop by wellsley via Citysearch on 10/5/2010
All around good service, equipment and instruction. I'd recommend this shop to anyone.
an excited new diver by traveler106 via Citysearch on 9/25/2010
i just completed my open water with village divers and had a great experience. the instructor was really cool and completely prepared us for future dives. i feel a lot more comfortable now with my skills. V Divers is a great place to…
rough around the edges, but knowledgable by allwetsuit via Citysearch on 9/25/2010
I was in the same open water class as traveler106 and while our instructor (cal) was a bit gruff (and opinionated as another reviewer wrote), he's an experienced instructor. I didn't go there looking to make a buddy - I just wanted a…
Great place to get started with tech diving. by potato11982 via Citysearch on 9/23/2010
Here's my take on things. Cal is a well-intentioned guy, who is easy to misunderstand. While he can be a bit rigid at times, he often acts that way because he is insistent that you learn things well before you move on to the next step. The…
Opinionated service, but that isn't a bad thing by loubrothers via Citysearch on 9/23/2010
I've been a client for 2 years and I'm very satisfied with the gear I've purchased, with the classes I've taken, and with the information I've received.
The instruction is top-notch. Because Cal and his team are all technical divers who…
Cleaned up their act by sea scallop via Citysearch on 4/28/2010
I see that a lot of these reviews are from a few years back. I just had my scuba lesson recently and didn't find any problems with Village Divers. Instructors were really good. Guys in the shop helped me pick the equipment. Did research…
Best pizza in LA, Austin's Strongest Margaritas by yuki77 via Citysearch on 12/3/2008
Think local: Mention the neighborhood and nearby attractions. Play fair: Don't hold burger joints to the same standards as four-star restaurants
once loyal customer by recdiver via Citysearch on 8/22/2008
I really like these guys, despite the fact that it is an undersized store with a tiny customer base. I went through certification and would have stuck with them because of their knowledge. But I eventually got sick of it; their prices and…
Terrible experience by tgznyc via Citysearch on 7/15/2008
Wow I wish I would have looked this place up before going there. Only reason I looked it up now was to tell others how terrible my experience was and lo do I find 5 other horrible reviews. Oh well you live you learn. Anyway, to start off…
Rip Off - Agreed by src1130 via Citysearch on 5/25/2008
My husband and I were also ripped off. When dropping off our deposit for the class, my husband was told he had to buy his wetsuit from village divers, as he would get the "best deal" from them. He only had so much money for the deposit...…
Sinking Feeling by josephine_gary via Citysearch on 10/22/2007
Heed the two negative reviews by josh41680 and delphina2004. I recently took my beginning scuba classes from Village Divers and would steer anyone away. Aside from the hidden costs, Cal Azzouni, the owner and main instructor was…
Avoid at all costs by josh41680 via Citysearch on 8/21/2007
If you want poor instruction, bad customer service, and lots of hidden costs, get certified here. Otherwise, go anywhere else. Don't be fooled by their low quoted price for a certification- you will pay more than 400 dollars, even…
Extra charges not listed on website by delphina2004 via Citysearch on 6/22/2007
I chose to get open water certified with village divers because they listed tuition of $250 on their website, which seemed like a better deal than other diving shops in NY that charge around $300. I understood that we were expected to…
