Had a great time today doing the Discover Scuba Course! Johnny is a very good and thorough instructor and very patient in the water. Highly recommend!!

I just completed the open water and advanced course Though Tazs Excursion. Johnny was an awesome instructor and was very thorough with the way that he teaches . I will definitely bring my kids back to get certified by him. Seeing pictures and videos of the underwater world is one thing but being able to see it for yourself is an incredible experience.

The underwater world is fascinating. Explore the seas and discover what you are capable of . Learn and get certified with one of the few select amazing instructors there is ( Johnny Mulford ). Check out Taz's Excursions . Be PADI Certified!

We really appreciated our trips. The weather kind of got the better of us on the fishing trip, but my 15 year old really enjoyed the beginner scuba diving. For the scuba trip make sure to complete the online forms early, because you may need a medical waiver if you are on medication or have had surgery in the last year. Probably not a big deal if you know about it in plenty of time to take care of it, but not if you aren’t aware until last minute. Will definitely go back next time we vacation in the area.

We had a great time! We did the two tank dive and spearfished. It was an awesome time! First time for me and my boyfriend to ever spear fish. My boyfriend got a total of four good size fish. I only got one but it was my first time. Taz did a great job at showing and teaching me. Had it not been for him then I most definitely would not got any.
