David Sieber: I recently completed my open water PADI scuba certification with Gary Gardner of Scuba Bay Area and had an absolute blast! Gary is a fantastic educator and teacher both outside and in the water. He really wanted to make sure we understood the fundamentals of scuba so that we could be safe but also have fun! We completed our 3 pool dives at a dive center in the city which was super easy to get to. Our 4 open water dives were in Monterey where another instructor, Jennifer, was also there to help out. We saw sea lions, sea otters, starfish, a baby shark egg and all sorts of fish I don’t even recognize! Contacting with Gary and his team was seamless both via text and email. For anyone in the Bay Area looking to get their certification, I’d strongly recommend Gary and his team at Scuba Bay Area!!!Little known fact: Gary also engineered and created a product called diver drops to help divers regulate the pressure in their ears during diver. I tried the drops during our open water dives and they worked great!!!
Claire Gardner: definitely recommend!
Philip Ewing: I had the good fortune of having both Gary and Jen as instructors and I can't say enough good things about them. They are clearly passionate and have an expert knowledge of diving, and put a huge emphasis on safety and learning, while also being genuinely fun to be around.I went from getting my Open Water certification with them to going on a 4-day liveaboard in Australia two weeks later, and I felt fully prepared for everything.The whole experience is fun and I learned a tremendous amount. Spending the weekend in Monterey was just an added bonus to the whole thing. You will not regret going with them!
Bryan Warner: I don’t do reviews but felt the need to do one here. Gary and Jen are amazing! Seriously could not have had a better experience. They do such a phenomenal job of teaching you what is necessary to stay safe while keeping it very fun!
Rachel Hamburg: Gary and Jen run an amazing program with an unusually small class size, which really allows them to work with individual students' skill levels - important for diving in places like Monterey. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Try it out - so much of our world is underwater, so there's so much to explore.
Ryleigh Wolff: Had an absolute blast getting my open water certificate here with Gary as my instructor. Would definitely recommend this place!
Miriam Moscovici: I just completed my Open Water certification with Gary. I cannot recommend the experience more. I had absolutely no experience with diving or anything close to it. I was taught in a thorough manner that really helped me feel taken care of and prepared. Plus, I had so much fun. I consider myself lucky to have chosen this course.
Alexandra A: and Jennifer
Nick Zehner: Gary and Jenn really went above and beyond the call to make this open water cert happen. My partner had some ear issues and Gary came in special for a one-on-one pool session so we were sure she could equalize her ears well. They are the definition of good people, and their commitment to their customers is second to none!
Anna De Biasi: Gary and Jen did an amazing job running the class. I couldn't think of a better experience to learn scuba diving. Highly recommend!
Yoav Sion: with them!Thank you, Jenn and Gary!
Nicole Kelly: . I completed my open water certification in March, 2021 and just recently returned for my advanced open water certification with Gary and his solid team -- Jenn and Ryan. I had an incredible experience both times that blew my expectations out of the water
Larry Zhu: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueGary is the man. Not only was the small group setting perfect for learning how to dive, he personally went above and beyond several times for the group to ensure that the whole experience was as safe, engaging, and informative as possible. You will be in very good hands if you train with Gary and I cannot recommend his classes enough.
Mimi Moore: Gary is an amazing dive instructor! He made learning fun and easy. He's a really nice bloke and honestly cares a lot about introducing people to the world of scuba. Me and my roommate joined his class with just two other students. We took COVID precautions throughout training and felt safe. The pool classes were a lot of fun and we learned quickly. Diving in Monterey was life changing! I saw so many star fish, jelly fish, sea otters, and many types of fish. I was lucky enough to see a harbor seal swim in a circle above us! For weeks since, I've been dreaming of diving. 100% recommend you learn to SCUBA and you'd be a fool not to learn with Gary. The small class size means you can learn quickly and get all the knowledge you need to feel safe underwater. Plus you have a lifelong scuba buddy!
Bhill: Gary is a great teacher, the whole class went smoothly and at no point did I feel like i wasn't learning or getting it. The small class size is definitely the way to do this if you are unsure and Gary is definitely the guy to learn with. Can't wait for the next dive trip!Positive Communication, Quality, Professionalism, Value …
Nachum Kanovsky: . He truly wants his whole class to enjoy the experience no matter what. When I had an issue with my mask that I bought, Gary made sure the Bamboo Reef refunded it. When we forgot our dive books, Gary made sure to make copies so that we could all have the full experience. Gary is the best teacher we could have hoped for. Thank you Gary!
SuChee Huang: Gary is simply the best! I was quite worried about my irrational fear of water and also my physical strength to carry out all the actions required during a dive. Gary has an amazing way of teaching that he gradually builds you up for things you need to know for the ocean test without making any part of the process seem intimidating. I learned many skills without even knowing I was learning or practicing them!During the ocean test @ Monterey, the cold temperature and the low visibility made it a hard dive, but with Gary's clear and thoughtful instructions, fun teaching style, and amazing guidance, I was able to perform all the actions without any issue or fear. We ended up having a great time under water . Highly recommend!
Daniel Clark: makes Gary's class really unique and he is still very competitively priced. Throughout the class, Gary maintained the perfect balance between being incredibly safety oriented and still encouraging us to all have a lot of fun.If you're looking to get certified in the Bay Area, go with Gary! You have many options in the Bay Area but I am certain that he is the best!
Allison Latta Clark: because he felt that it would better prepare us. And boy did it! Our group dove this past weekend in Monterey with Gary and the process was seamless. Even in somewhat rough water conditions, he made sure that we were all completely comfortable with all required skills and we were all so well-prepared that we actually spent most of the open water dives just exploring the area which was amazing!Do your certification with Gary, you won't regret it!!!
Susy Schoeneberg: , I perforated my eardrum. Naturally, I was very nervous before starting my course at the Bay Area School of Diving. Gary was able to take my fear away immediately and soon replaced it with not only confidence but joy for diving. He is super knowledgeable and his class is extremely well organized! The small class size allowed Gary to supervise each student closely. He really cares about each of us. For example, my mask turned out to be suboptimal for the ocean dives and mid-dive Gary offered me his mask. This saved the whole day for me. Best diving instructor ever!!

Sarah W: I had both Niko and Brian as instructors. They were great. It would have been nice to have a smaller class size than 6, but it worked. I'd highly recommend Bamboo Reef. I would also suggest considering waiting to sign up for the open water in Monterey until after you've completed the pool in case you encounter expected challenges or end up not liking it.
Ben Michael Moran: It took some time since they had to send it out, but they did save my dry suit from bad wrists seals and a shoulder gasket break after two other shops told me it was unsalvageable!
Luke Hansen: Super helpful dive shop!!
max goldman: Great place to learn to dive. They prepare you well and are great instructors.
Imani Isles: From start to finish, the team at Bamboo Reef Scuba demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine passion for diving that truly sets them apart from other dive centers.The instructors, without exception, were not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and relatable. They made the learning process enjoyable, breaking down complex concepts in a way that was very easy to understand. Their commitment to safety was evident in every aspect of the training, instilling confidence as I embarked on my underwater journey.What truly distinguishes Bamboo Reef Scuba is the emphasis on creating a personalized and enjoyable learning atmosphere. The instructors went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our individual needs, ensuring that each student felt comfortable and ready to explore the ocean depths. Forever grateful for my time with Bamboo Reef !!!
Dwight Hasbrouck: Awesome
Sean Scott: Filled up our airsoft air tanks! Plus they have the cutest two dogs
Amanda L: and although I’m not a strong swimmer, both made me feel safe and confident in the water. I had brought up a concern during the pool dives and they understood and made adjustments immediately. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
Lute Yang: Lovely shop with very friendly and helpful people. The people here are very knowledgeable about dive gear.
Christina Case: I scuba dived with Bamboo Reef last week and had a wonderful time. Our Dive Master Dave was so kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel safe and taken care of the entire time. It was a gorgeous day and we had a beautiful couple of dives. Thank you Dave and Bamboo Reef Scuba!
Xinyu Liang: with Mark. It was a very fun and informative learning experience! The school also offers a lot of beach/fun dives every months if you want to explore more of Monterey bay!
Karl Zawadzki: , and great training. I felt confident and prepared going into the ocean thanks to what I learned!
Paul Needham: Great Shop! Every time I’ve visited here, made purchases, or simply called for questions, the staff has been super helpful. Their product lines are first class and you just can’t beat the bamboo reef. They’ve been an active dive shop at the same location in San Francisco for years!

Amber Agot: Long time customer both Oakland and Santa Clara stores. Never missed a parking lot sale back in the 80s great service, price, people...
Bruce Owen: than you would pay online... But you have had informed help selecting, inspecting, and trying the equipment, and you have it instantly. I learned a lot, got what I needed, and enjoyed the process. Highly recommended!
POOLBRITE KONA HAWAII: Jim Steele is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful people in the industry. If you're looking to buy gear or take classes this is the place to come. I'm not sure if they're still offering classes .. .however they can get you sent in the right direction. You will learn so much about what the world of scuba and that environment has to offer. Can't say enough good things about Jim. If I could offer 10 Stars I would.Chris Yeaton
Tony Rayford: Friendly staff very professional and they definitely know their business inside and out
Vita Rey: Jim and Sue are the nicest people you'll ever meet. They genuinely want you to get out there and dive and their classes and equipment are very reasonably priced. Jim doesn't carry overpriced stuff and will always recommend the best bang for your buck. They know SO MUCH about the industry and the equipment and will tell you all about it if you are interested. If you have any problems with your equipment, they'll gladly look at at it even if you didn't buy it from them. That's why I always shop here first because the amount of support I get from them is absolutely priceless. I can't wait until covid is over so that we can visit the shop more often, its always a pleasure to meet fellow divers and get caught up in conversation here, its really such a wonderful community.
Lex Indigo: Jim is great! Super knowledgeable and really fair pricing since he buys directly from the manufacturers. A true local business, with tons of character and great vibes.
Bex Clark: Great guy, very understanding and knowledgeable. I love supporting this local-grown Bay Area divers' treasure!
Stephen Clearwater: Awesome place
Erin Korff: Jim is great and his shop is a real asset to divers in the Bay Area. I got Naui certified by him and his teachers and couldn’t be happier.
jaco h: Simply the best!
Edmund Dantes: A great shop. Jim is very knowledgeable and friendly. The first impression when you walk in is that the place is in total disarray and it definitely doesn't look like any other dive shop that I've been in but it was definitely worth the trip to go there.
Mark Fern: One of the most experienced Scuba Shops on the globe, incredible knowledge, excellent service and a great conversation. Deals directly with main Manufacturers and incredibly priced. Worth my drive, will use this place all the time from now on.
Ali B: Great business. The owner is very experienced and provides great products and guidance.

Fin G: Great dive shop with a complete selection of equipment. Eric who works there is amazing. Also got certified with them for pool classes and at Monterrey. Overall, Richard did a fantastic job training me and making me feel comfortable from the beginning to the final dive. I can't recommend this place more for anyone in the Bay area.
Nathan Hegstrom: Awesome place that is super helpful. Dexter helped us out and it was one of the best retail experiences ever. Nice, knowledgeable, and spoke from real life experience. Couldn’t recommend more!

Helen Reeve: and very knowledgeable and friendly instructors.

Wendy Warda: Now I feel confident and prepared for my open water dives.
Adam Cash: This is a fantastic dive shop to get certified with. They cover the material thoroughly and are focused on helping students actually learn as opposed to churning out divers. Top marks to the crew!
Bruce Dilts: I have nothing but the highest praise for Pacific Ocean Divers and its instructors. Because of some unexpected personal issues it took me three attempts to become Open Water Certified. During this time I had the pleasure of working with nearly every instructor and staff in the shop, all of which were extremely knowledgeable, professional and encouraging of my progress. I truly believe they were as thrilled with my successful completion as I was. I highly recommend Pacific Ocean Divers if you are considering learning about scuba. Thank you Trisha, Sean, Ryan, Robert, Bob and Mycol for sticking with me on this journey.
Philip de la Rosa: Great refresher diving course. Heated pool and all equipment included -except wetsuits
Chris Grimsrud: Trisha and Sean were great instructors. They were patient, kind and explained the steps well. Diving can be anxiety provoking and they were made everyone feel comfortable. The equipment was very good. The dive site in Monterey was great. Listening to the other instructors from other shops that were also present made me happy that we had Trisha and Sean.
Julian Warszawski: Unforgettable experience. Went with 10yo kid. Instructors are accommodating and super professional. They make sure you actually learn the techniques. I'm signing up for specialty courses with them soon.
Matt Krzywicki: Best people and dive shop around!
Rafael Perez: I had a great experience. Trisha was a fun and knowledgeable instructor for the pool dives. Looking forward to diving more with this shop!
Morgan Welch: Well run program from beginning to end, excellent experience for Open Water certification. Trisha is a talented and patient teacher that is clearly experienced and passionate about diving. The pool sessions are well run and prepare you for the ocean dives, which are a lot of fun. Sean taught with Trisha for the ocean dives and he is equally as awesome and passionate about diving, also very professional. Highly recommend to any interested in achieving the course.
Maverick Mickle: Ryan is a fantastic individual to teach you scuba diving. They go above and beyond to meet all your dive needs. Will always come back for my scuba needs!
Anika Sharma: Had an amazing time completing the open water certification course with very helpful instructors and comfortable safety measures!! Highly suggest for renting gear and completing PADI course
Brittany Luttrell: Pacific Ocean Sports is a great place to get scuba certified! The staff and instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Both Trish and Sean were amazing instructors and really helped me feel confident in all the skills I learned and in getting certified in open water scuba. I look forward to future dives and classes with them!
M M: and I completed our PADI open water certifications through Pacific Ocean Sports in Jan 2024, and we can’t recommend them enough!!!! Throughout the classes, we had a chance to see 5 instructors
Tru Knudsen: If you want to learn how to scuba dive, this is the place to go. All the instructors were very helpful and passionate about diving. They were very thorough in teaching which made it easy to learn the skills. The open water part was a blast and it opens up the world of diving to you. Thanks for the great experience!
Ken Kalemkarian: I had an awesome time learning how to dive with Ryan, Trish and Sean! The training was detailed and thorough. I feel confident in my ability to dive in cold water. The shop is great too! There are ton of new and used equipment. I will definitely be visiting this dive shop for all my diving needs.January was the best time to learn scuba diving! I got lucky with small class with great people also passionate about the sports.
Eric Larson: I was looking to complete my SCUBA certification and was able to attend and take a course at Pacific Ocean Sports. The team was so helpful in making sure every member of the course understood what and why we were doing specific actions as part of the curriculum and were so vigilant in making sure everyone got the assistance the needed in the course.
Robert Parrish: I just finished getting certified and I cant say enough good things about Ryan, Sean and Trish. From the study material I learned quit a bit that gave me confidence in the pool. Ryan, Sean and Trish were all clear and concise on there instructions and made it easy and fun. I am now certified and cant be happier ! Looking forward to my next dive !!!
kerrie b: . We chose Pacific Ocean Sports to do the cert b/c I really like their process. It is slower and more methodical than many other places. Learning to dive with my kid really made me want to find the safest & most thorough instructors I could!! I am so glad we chose them! We worked with 3 people - Trish, Ryan & Shawn. Each one of them was very kind, knowledgeable & patient. They made sure we knew what to do every step of the way. They very wisely explained how to do everything with the equipment rather than stepping in and doing it for us, which has got to take a lot of patience with a group of total beginners! The instructors & the folks back at the shop spent extra time with us making sure we had the best wetsuits, masks etc.. particularly for my teen who is too small for a lot of adult sizes. The result is that my daughter and I feel very comfortable and confident that we can scuba now! We are looking forward to doing a trip with them in the future!
S Decker: and it was a very wonderful experience. it was not an easy feat but i was able to complete it successfully with the help of my instructors, Sean, Trisha, and Ryan. they were very knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions/concerns i had. highly recommend it for anyone looking to get their scuba certification. i'd do it again in a heartbeat. honestly already thinking about getting my next dry suit certification here if they offer it.
Chris Held: Pacific Ocean Sports is your one-stop-shop for all things SCUBA! They carry top of the line scuba gear and offer PADI certifications. They just upgraded all of their equipment and the instructors are very knowledgable and fun! If you've been thinking about getting certified, this is the place. Can't wait to dive again!

Violet TheGreat: A guy was filming all customers without their consent and when I asked him if he can delete the video he made of me, he said in California he doesn’t need a consent from public when capturing them in photos or videos.I talked to the bartender very politely but he immediately told me that the dude is their social media manager and if I don’t want to be on their media, I can leave the bar!!!Owner & staff, if you have so many customers that you don’t care about me and our party of 5 people leaving the bar, why do you need advertising on social media? But if you have to level up your game to attract more customers, start with treating them with empathy and respect!Thank you!
Coach Karl: Great spot for a pop with friends
