- RBRyley Barker1 day ago5.0Just finished taking the open water certification. Micah Minnocci was the instructor and he did an incredible job and had a vast amount of knowledge about diving. The entire time during the class we felt safe and now feel very confident as a newly certified diver. Highly recommend this to anyone interested in diving. Any divers interested learning further should reach out to MBT.
- MMMicael6 days ago5.0I had an absolutely fantastic experience completing my open water and nitrox certifications with Gary and the rest of the team. The entire staff was so welcoming, creating a really positive and encouraging vibe from the start. Our instructor, was very knowledgeable and patient. He made sure all the important skills were understood without ever making you feel rushed. I can't recommend this dive shop enough for anyone looking for a supportive and fun place to learn. I can't wait to go back.
- CCConnorNov 17, 20255.0MBT Divers has been so wonderful to work with! The shop is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable divers who have gone out of their way to help and make our dive experience safe, fun and informative! Gary and Angelina along with another dive master in training all instructed us in our open water and nitrox certifications and brought their unique expertise to the experience and opened our eyes to the many opportunities diving provides. We will definitely be returning.
- MSMichael SaulterAug 22, 20255.0If you want to get your certification done very fast and efficiently this is the place to go. It's done in 4 consecutive days not spread out through a couple weeks and the price is the best you will find in the area. But don't worry just because it's quick and at a great price it doesn't lack on experience and effectiveness. I did my course with Gary Urbahn. Great guy super informative and has a vast knowledge of diving going way back to his days with the Marine Corp. He takes the time to listen to questions and concerns and makes sure to answer them thoroughly and will continue until you understand or satisfied with the knowledge. If people are struggling or lacking just because you are in a group class and not in private one on one session don't worry because he will pull you aside and work with you individually. His number one concern is to make sure you're safe and that nothing will happen to you. A highly recommend MBT Divers. If you still have questions once you have been certified you can get a hold of them any time and they will continue to help you out and answer questions. I've called Gary personally a couple of times and he has been great. Looking forward to go on a dive with him soon.
- JLJocelynn LindgrenAug 20, 20255.0This last weekend I took the SDI open water and Nitrox certification classes with our instructor Gary Urbahn. He did a phenomenal job teaching us and making sure we would be confident and safe in the water. I can’t wait to get back out in the water and I feel prepared to do so. Also, I spoke with him about various equipment and BCs for purchase and he was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to explain the comparisons and what would likely work best for me.
