I recently got my Open Water SCUBA Diver certification through Lynnhaven Dive Center and THEY ARE THE BEST! The staff and instructors are super-friendly and knowledgeable, and I felt completely comfortable in the water learning the SSI system with my instructors. The dive shop is also fantastic with great deals on high-quality gear. I definitely recommend LDC to anyone interested in becoming a SCUBA Diver: this is the perfect place for both beginners learning to dive and experts looking to hone their skills!

Wonderful staff and excellent instruction! I can't believe how quickly my son has progressed here! I could not recommend them more. The peace of mind from knowing your child is safe around water is priceless!

Just finished first three days of open dive certification. Letitia and Mason were amazing! I’ve wanted to get certified for a while now. All nervousness taken care of by folks who know what they’re doing, and so calm. Great instruction. Even better fun!

We enjoy every visit to Lynnhaven Dive, the staff are always helpful and this time was no different. Luke hooked us up with some rental gear to dive Lake Phoenix. He made sure we were comfortable with the sanitation process. Even went the extra mile to spray it down in front of us to make double sure we were safe during this COVID—19. Thanks Luke for taking care of us.

I had the privilege of spending the last three days at the Lynnhaven Dive Center embarking upon a new love and passion as a certified open water SCUBA diver. My instructor was Chris Strollo. What a knowledgeable, professional, dynamic, fun and personable instructor. I instantly felt like I was in a training environment in which I was not just a customer, but truly joining a family. Thank you so much, Chris. Additionally, the staff in the full service dive shop, who are most certainly also divers and/or instructors, were equally amazing. It was obvious that they weren't merely focused on selling or upselling gear. Thank you Mason and Chris for helping me select the right equipment for me. Finally, let me talk to my fellow retired folks who may have wanted to learn SCUBA, but now feel like that ship has sailed. Get off the couch, head over to the Lynnhaven Dive Center, and take that first step. You can do it, and you won't regret it.
