Sac City Scuba, Sacramento CA

I just received my PADI cert from here and the Sac City Scuba team is awesome! Very knowledgeable and approachable.

What an awesome experience! There’s nothing like breathing and traversing underwater. Joe at Sac City Scuba has the knowledge, experience, and professionalism to get you there safely. Solid courses, great times, lots of learning, and most importantly, scuba! Would recommend and will return!

Getting certified here was the best decision I could have made, everyone is so kind and helpful when learning new scuba skills!

I recently completed my open water certification with Joe at Sac City Scuba, and it was nothing short of remarkable. What truly stood out was Joe's emphasis on safety and understanding the basics to be successful. His tailored guidance and hands-on approach made mastering this essential skill an enjoyable and effortless experience.

Using top notch Sherwood equipment, Joe conducted specific exercises that allowed me to gain control and feel at ease under the water like never before. His time tested training methods not only improved my diving technique but also deepened my appreciation for the underwater world. Ive caught the bug and am now working towards the AOW.

Choosing Sac City Scuba and Joe for my certification was the best decision I made. If you're seeking to perfect your buoyancy or simply explore the depths of the ocean, look no further. Joe's professionalism and commitment to excellence are unparalleled.

JOE IS THE BEST! I stopped by with a missing buckle for my fins and a new scuba setup I purchased from Amazon. Joe took his time explaining the possible safety issues he noticed with my setup. He did a great job going over everything with me. I walked away with feeling informed, knowledgeable and I never felt like I was being upsold or talked out of the product. After further research upon getting home I was able to verify everything Joe told me. He even took the time to personally find a buckle for my fins!

Becoming certified as a diver was never on my radar. A recent experience on another travel adventure established the desire to learn and to search out my options in the greater Sacramento area, and I landed in Joe’s very capable hands! He has a great sense of humor, but is a very serious teacher. He explains, he models, and he holds his students accountable to having eyes on him while he is modeling. He is patient, he is encouraging, and gives the time to each student to ensure mastery and understanding of each skill. Highly recommend Joe and Sac City Scuba!

I’ve been dreaming about scuba diving for over twenty years. Joe and the team at Sac City Scuba went far above and beyond in helping me achieve that dream. Their teaching method is superb. They convey the seriousness involved in scuba diving while allowing you to still enjoy the magic of it. Despite the hiccups I was having with they were extremely encouraging for me to push through even giving me extra time and attention. Every piece of equipment I bought was top notch. They also thoroughly explained the best ways to maintain and use everything. I highly encourage going here for anything Scuba related.

I found SCS like you just found it — by searching for dive shops near me and then looking for the one with the best reviews. Joe runs the shop and is immensely knowledgeable in his craft. He and his staff are patient, friendly and to top it all off fun to be around. Whether you come here for the PADI training or for gear, this place rocks!

Would absolutely recommend Sac City Scuba. My husband and I did our eLearning course and then followed up with our pool course with Joe. It was such a a great experience that we are likely changing our plans to also do our open water dives through him as well. Super patient, adapts to the varying levels of the class members, and makes the experience fun. Also is willing to give general advice for diving experiences beyond his shop.

If I could add an extra star just for the fact that there is a dog named Scuba who works customer service in the shop, you would see 6 stars here!

I have been a diver for over 20 years and have dealt with many scuba shops around the country. Sac City is it best I have come across. Joe is a vault of knowledge and has helped my family get high quality gear at a fair price. I also trusted Joe to train my 12 year old daughter how to scuba dive. He took his time with her and made sure that she learned the material but also made it fun and exciting for her. I strongly recommend Sac City if you are looking to get certified or if you need new gear.
