“WE were excited to meet with Mars Scuba and Bailey, the manager. She was professional and energetic! We are excited to recommend Mars to anybody that we can”
— Stuart Scuba★★★★★
“Had a wonderful experience pursuing my Advanced SCUBA certification with Mars and working with their amazing instructors Chris, Bailey, Jaime, and Carl. The advanced certification consisted of 5 classes: Deepwater, Underwater Navigation, Nitrox, Dry Suit, and Advanced Buoyancy. Not only was it a great value, but all classes were expertly taught. I was in great hands with Mars, and all instructors prioritized safety, instruction, comfortability, community, and fun.”
— Megan Kaiser★★★★★
