Just Add Water - Willoughby, Ohio

My son, age 12, was recently certified through Just Add Water and I cannot recommend them and this program more highly! My son started by taking the ground class at the upper campus of University School. It was a week course over the summer. Chris Lucas ran the program and was amazing!!! He connected with the children and engaged them to help foster a lifetime passion for scuba!

The in water experience at the quarry took things to an even higher level! I had no idea of what to expect! We had a small group of four students and two seasoned instructors, Chris being one of them! I felt that my son was in the best of hands and never for even a second worried for his safety. Chris and his teammate from Just Add Water, Ben, were incredible! We spent two days at the quietly and at the end, my son left with his certificate, knowledge of scuba, safety and a love of the sport. I am so grateful!

I also want to add that Just Add Water was also amazing! The team of professionals who work there are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about scuba. They provided excellent advice about gear and they even gave a trade in program for the equipment my growing son can trade if he outgrows anything we buy.

Just Add Water, its courses and in particular, Chris Lucas, are amazing and I feel so grateful to have met them and had them teach my son! You will NOT be disappointed! Check them out and you will be hooked too! Thank you Chris and the entire team!

This is a great place to get your scuba diving certification I had Nathaniel as an instructor he did a amazing job. I look forward to doing more courses with him in the near future. Here's some pictures from my amazing weekend with them

I would highly recommend JAW. This review could be very long but I will try to keep it short. The people are friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are very reasonable. I bought most of my gear from the shop and have done certifications through the shop. I did shop around. My research ultimately lead me to buy through them and I am glad I did. The owner is in often and she is wonderful. They are committed to providing an exceptional experience. If you get a chance, I would also recommend going on one of their dive trips. The experience was great and I will definitely attend another trip or more.

My wife and I finished their Open Water certification class this past weekend. The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They were also patient as we struggled with some skills. Highly recommend them for training and equipment.

I'm just starting into the SCUBA hobby at age 59 and the staff of JAW has already consistently exceeded my expectations. The class and pool sessions to start off my Open Water Dive certification were conducted professionally yet were entertaining at the same time. I bought some equipment and did not feel pressured to make a choice, there was plenty of open/candid discussion and I feel that I got great gear at a good price. I'm looking forward to my dives in February to complete my certification. Then I'll continue to learn specialty certifications to grow my knowledge base. If you are even the least bit interested in SCUBA, I think that you owe it to yourself to stop in and check out this shop.

All I needed was my HPA tank filled since the paintball fields are closed during the winter. They refused to fill my tank after my first visit. I even provided my own fill station. Then they suggested instead of getting my tank filled (costs less than $10), I should buy one of their $200 scuba tanks! So much for customer satisfaction.

Unique shop and great staff. Scuba stores are something you want to build a relationship locally. This place has a classroom for getting certified. All the gear you would need. Used and co-signment gear to potentially find a deal. Gear rentals for certification needs as well as trips. They put together trips both somewhat local as well as worldwide.
