Absolutely loved my dive with dive master Greg. Everyone was fantastic and made me feel so comfortable even though it was my first saltwater dive. I plan on coming back to dive again as soon as I can!

We just got back from our Discover Scuba Diving with ECS. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The entire trip was perfect from beginning to end. The folks in the shop were great and our dive guide Dusty was extremely knowledgeable and eliminated any fear associated with diving. My wife, two kids, and I are excited to continue on to get our PADI open water cert! Thanks so much ECS!!!
