4worldlovers: When choosing a dive shop, look for personal attention in small classes, high quality instruction, and value not just up front costs. We limit our classes to six students to an instructor and we have taught over 1500 students in the last ten years. Many other shops pack in as many students, as the certification agency allows, for profit reasons. Be especially wary of SPECIALS, internet GROUP deals, and COURSE RESCHEDULING AND REFUND policies. Shops still need to cover their expenses and pay their instructors, so look for HIDDEN COSTS and COST CUTTING MEASURES. These include policies such as charging extra for an official PADI dive training logbook or if you want an open water training manual, and making you pay separately for the use of scuba gear, or air tank fills. Our more cost saavy customers have found out that we are actually a better overall value than other area shops no matter what the deal. Unlike most other diveshops, we do not force you buy any equipment or lead weight, weight belts, or dive bags to get certified with us and the use of BCDs, regulator sets, tanks, weights, and wetsuits are included for both the pool and open water sessions in the course cost. We use new condition, PROPERLY sized tanks, wetsuits, and BCDs for small children, women, and men up to 4XL. We also offer our students free refresher course tuition, in case you don't dive for a while and are going on a trip. So, make sure you ask about all those things before spending your hard earned money. We hold classes weekly, with even one student, so you can finish in time for any trip you have coming up.

In addition to Open Water, we offer PADI Advanced Open Water, Rescue, Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, and many specialty courses including technical diving TEC sidemount, 40, 45, 50, trimix; self-reliant diver, sidemount, enriched air (NITROX), dry suit, full face mask, public safety diver, and lionfish tracker. We offer most scuba gear at INTERNET PRICES from Shearwater, Atomic, XDeep, Rolock, Tusa, Mares, Bare, Diverite, Zeagle, Scuba Max, Ist, XSSCUBA, We also specialize in fitting both stock near, far, and bifocal vision lens, as well as, custom lenses. We do not believe that you can get a better deal anywhere in the Houston area. In fact, many students taking courses at other area dive shops that require equipment puchases come to us. We know you have a choice. We want to be your favorite local diveshop and we will work hard to earn your business.
