Fantastic experience getting my Open Water Diver certification. When you enroll here (because you have to, there's no better place) be sure to ask for Dan Capobianco's class. He's patient and knowledgeable, and makes the class thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to more certifications and dives!

First, I want to thank the owners, Larry and Laura, for their genuine understanding and subsequent assistance in working within our time constraints to get my 12 and 13 year old granddaughters Open Water certified and my son re-certified. Their flexibility and patience are truly appreciated. We also want to give special thanks and recognition to Dan Capobianco for being such a GREAT INSTRUCTOR. He was very effective in teaching us the skills we need and instilling confidence in us to use them properly. He mixes his knowledge and diving skills with just the right amount of humor and empathy. He made the experience way better than we originally expected.
We have purchased a few items here over the years and I return for maintenance when required. Their fills are always full and prices reasonable. The staff are usually really good, very helpful and pleasant. the other day I spent about 20 minutes of one of their employees time looking at a dive computer that I ultimately did not buy because I just couldn't make it work for me. She was a joy to deal with and I wanted to buy the computer just because of her.
I have so many good things to say about Calypso dive shop and specifically Larry and Rob! I was completing my open water certification at a different shop and needed to change locations for a few reasons including completing my open dives within a certain (very short ) time frame. Larry answered the phone before the dive shop was even open and he accommodated me *that day* in helping me finish my dives- this is during a time when most people are scheduling private dive training due to covid, so needless to say he has been busy. It was great to be trained and certified by someone with a lot of dive experience and truly looking out for my well being as a diver. Rob went over my Shearwater dive computer with me and showed me which settings I need to change to dive safely. They made me feel comfortable and safe. They are also very professional. Calypso will be my dive shop for all future needs and I would highly recommend them for any dive courses. I look forward to doing my future training with them!!
Bud is the most knowledgeable technician I have ever encountered. If you own a Suunto, this is the place to come. Wide selection of diving classes. They even allow my children (dogs) to help me out. Calypso is the only place I recommend for my diving needs!
