Let me take some burden off of your decision making. This is the place you need to choose for diving instruction. Like, literally - if you choose to go somewhere else you’re wasting money, time, and the opportunity to meet rad people. The instruction is patient, personalized, enjoyable and applicable. The owners are knowledgeable, funny, kind, professional and responsive. One word of warning - you’ll want to continue your education after open water - trust me. Inherently, being around this group of people will make you decide that you want more to do with diving, so … saddle up. Also, buy crocs now, you’ll thank me later. Tell ‘em Erin sent you and good luck on your adventure!

The crew at Scubadelphia are top notch. They really care about their students and really want to made sure you are learning what they are teaching. This is no certification mill, they are taking the time to teach you and will make sure you are proficient in a skill before moving on and signing off.They have fun and make learning fun but in a safe and professional environment.You get what you pay for and while they may not be the cheapest around but you still get the best value and quality for what you spend.

I had the best experience completing my open water diver certification with Scubadelphia! Throughout the pool lessons and the certification dives at Dutch Springs, all the instructors and staff were very friendly, flexible, and helpful! At first, I struggled getting used to all the gear but the instructors were very patient and encouraging. From what Ive seen, I think one thing that sets Scubadelphia apart from other dive shops is the large number of instructors (high ratio of instructors to students), creating a strong sense of community. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience working towards our open water certification at Scubadelphia! Safety was always top priority and each of the instructors were very thorough. We had so much fun were continuing with the Advanced certification!

Definitely use scubadelphia. You will have fun meet great people and learn a skill unlike any other.I had some reservations about diving had a lot of hidden nerves the staff helped me over come. Now I am a certified diver looking to take some more classes with them and overcome that next hurdle of nerves of advanced diving.

Very knowledgeable staff along with a family feel from the team. Some of the best training I’ve had with diving from the instructors and other dive seeker members that are always ready to help and answer questions. If you want to learn to dive…this is THE shop to learn from!! 10/10 🤿

This was my first time diving and it was a wonderful experience. Great teachers, well coordinated process, most adorable dive shop dogs, and a wonderful community to join. highly recommend.

I had a really good experience with Scubadelphia. They were transparent and helpful. Dave and Melissa, and their team are great instructors! I had a blast getting my PADI certification! :)

Took a Diver Propulsion Vehicle course with Dave. Course was excellent, both thorough and enjoyable! Also, i owe a huge THANK YOU to the service team. They were able to fix my drysuit and bring it to Dutch Springs in time for the class.

Great experience with scubadelphia. Everyone was nice and helpful. They made the learning experience easy. Final dive at Dutch springs was fun. BBQ was 👌🏼🔥

Awesome instructors, fun people and an amazing community of divers. You cant go wrong starting or furthering your Scuba journey here!

Wonderful experience, the staff is amazing, I was able to get my first scuba diving certification and feel now confident enough to try to get other certifications to enjoy even more.

Shop is very quick to answer questions. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Huge selection of dive equipment in shop as well as rentals. Able to work on/service all major brand scuba equipment.

Dave and his whole team and great! Highly recommend.

Dave, and his team are amazing, great instructors, tons of patience and professionalism. I recommend them all day. I brought my 13 year old son, he learned now his skills and is ready for open water.

Overall fantastic experience. Dave made sure to leave no question unanswered, was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and made the certification process a great time! There wasnt a single downside to choosing Dave and his team

Very responsible and helping good placeyou can even refill your paint ball tank there 👍

I got certified here a few years ago. It was one of the funnest experiences of my life. The staff and owners were super cool. I intend to get back into scuba again real soon and I definitely will be returning here.

Ive been diving and getting certified with Scubadelphia/Diveseekers since my initial open water cert over 4 years ago! I wouldnt recommend anywhere else for all your diving needs!

Great service ! They helped pick out a drysuit that was best for me. It met all of my requirements and they did a great job measuring me. Suit fits perfectly. They trimmed the seals and made sure everything was just right. No detail was overlooked. Very impressed ! Have a handful of dives on the new suit and Im very happy with the purchase.

Infinite Stars!!!!! Just completed my Advanced Open Water Cert. with Dave, Melissa, and their Staff at Dutch Springs. Cant talk the experience up enough. Amazing staff were patient and attentive. Provided a safe and productive learning environment as well as a very fun, personable, social, and accepting one. Camped the weekend there at Dutch. Dave cooked B/L/D Saturday and Sunday; very inclusive potluck type meals with Dave, Melissa, and their staff. Did three dives Saturday and two Sunday. Definitely a great time!!! Looking forward to continuing my dive education and experience with Scubadelphia and their incredible staff. Thank you all so much!!!

Owner is a judgemental jerk. If you dont agree with him he just insults you.

I just had a scuba refresher class with Divemasters Kyle, Melissa and Yusef. They were patient and friendly, but also knowledgeable, professional and great instructors. Open water students were also there, and when we werent practicing skills, we were having fun.

My 10 year old was certified by scubadelphia last year. The one on one training and east going kid friendly atmosphere made me glad I pick Daves shop to help train my young diver

Love the staff at Scubadelphia. The divers here are no joke and dive New Jersey like its the tropics. If you are a beginner like me, this is the place to start your training.

Unsurpassed service. Even though I live over an hour away this is now my LDS. I cannot speak highly enough of the level of care and caring given to me with my purchase. I will return again and again. Great prices too.

Cant speak for diving but they offer paintball tank fills for a low cost for those looking for an air supply

Great customer service. Helped me get a neck seal quickly so I would not miss a dive.

I recently finished my open water certification with scubadelphia. They are a supportive and professional group of instructors that gives a new diver peace of mind. If you are looking for a local shop - look no further. I am eager to keep diving and will keep training with scubadelphia.

Nice people great instructor

Hello my name is Mike.Ive been a customer of scuba connection since 2004, Have taken 7 courses, went on one store trip, bought all my gear plus some, bring in equipment faithfullyevery year for service, referred numerous customers for courses and purchases of gear as well, so heres my problem.7 weeks ago i contacted the store to find out about a course i was interested in taking. I was told the person in charge of training would give me a call, gave name and number and info and no response. three weeks ago called for the second time, person on the phone couldnt believe i didnt get a call back, told me the person in charge of scheduling classes was in the pool area and he would put him on the phone with me, unforunately i was informed he was not able to come to the phone, same name, info, and number give again now 7 weeks and no phone call back. I noticed the schedule is now out for the month september and the class is not on the schedule. all i would have liked to be told was if the class was or wasnot going to be scheulded so that i can go elsewhere for the class. Its unfortunate I have to wait 7 weeks not response for a dedicated customer. this would not have happened if it this was back in the day and i would have asked to speak to sid or george .again just looking for a courtesy call back.Just to let everyone know I am changing my rating to four stars for this shop, after several days of posting, the shop has contacted me and after talking on the phone, all issues have been resolved.Appreciate the call back.

Awesome online store and dive shop!!!! (Formally The Scuba Connection)Excellent training with an in store classroom and small indoor swimming pool. They teach classes from basic to the most advanced. They teach at your speed. The instructors/DMs are the nicest/very knowledgeable people and a pleasure do learn from. They love to dive and it shows. They always add value to their classes ie. trim suggestions during my OW dives. They are also open to all styles of diving. They have a nice selection from many major manufacturers. They also have an online store. Fast shipping. If they dont have it, they will try to find it. If you can find it cheaper, they dont mind talking price.Why the title???? I did my OW classes with a local dive store less than 10 mins. from my house. Bought regs, computer, jacket BCD based on the dont worry we will be here. After a couple of pool dives, I did not like it. I wanted to exchange for other gear from the same manufacturer and pay the difference. We talked about the gear and he tried to talk me out of every change I wanted to make. What really got me was that he said the VT3 was the same size as the Atom. He had the Atom in stock but not the VT3. VT3 is about the size of a hockey puck and the other a watch. There were other things as well but I think you get the picture.I heard of The Scuba Connection from a friend (should have spoke with him first). I spoke to Wayne (co-owner) for great advise and told me to try working it out with my LDS. I tried and failed. Spoke to Wayne soon after, and he put wheels in motion. Since my stuff was new, he was able to speak to the rep and get the exchanges I needed/wanted and I paid the difference for the upgrades. Saved me a ton of money. Love my gear (VT3, EOS/GT3, BP/W). The Scuba Connection, Oceanic/Hollis are great people. They care about making people happy. My hour drive to their shop is worth it.Update 05/15/12: Just Awesome!!! Cant say enough great things about this shop. Just took their Wreck course and like all their other courses, Excellent! Sean Martini covered what we needed and then some. If you want to do diving off the North East Coast or need a refresher for local diving, take the wreck course.******************2011>>>>Update 10/2012: Advanced Nitrox with Staged Deco (TDI) course was outstanding. Everything you would expect from a top quality course. Attention to detail both on academics and in water skills with task loading and simulated failures/emergencies. When you complete this course your ready for Tech.

Just bought a pair of 7mm booties from them. Great online selection and prices, and very fast shipping!

One of a very few good dive shops

Stay away from this store. They wont even give you a PADI Course Evaluation Questionnaires. Are they hiding something? Im comparing their business style with the movie Borat when he rented a place to stay overnight.

Meets the challenge of customer expectation head-on.

Super!!!! 💪💪💪💪

Make sure you call before you go. Drive 40 minutes only to have the place look like a ghost town when they are supposedly open. I wont be back
