My husband and I just finished our Open Water. We are blown away by this operation. Our Dive instructor Kyle was phenomenal as was our dive master Stefanie. Now we are purchasing our gear there too. The staff is kind and patient and helpful and knowledgeable. You can tell how much they love this and how much they want us to succeed. We can’t wait to go on some dive trips with our new friends!!!! Thanks so much for helping us check something off our bucket list!!!

Our boys got their open water certification at Dive World Austin! I can not recommend them enough! Stephanie and Angie were AMAZING instructors for my youngest child (12) and were patient and encouraging. They also recommended other dive sites around Austin and Texas that we can do as family to keep our skills up. If you are thinking about getting certified check out Dive World Austin all their instructors are great! They are passionate about their craft and want to make sure you understand and are comfortable every step of the way. They also have summer camps too!!! #diveworldaustin #padi #divefamily

I had such an awesome experience getting my scuba certification at Dive World Austin! From booking my class to wrapping up my certification, the staff was fantastic. George helped me pick out the gear I needed for the class and even assisted with cleaning my rented gear when I returned it—super helpful!

My instructor Dan and Dive Master Stefanie were amazing. Dan was so patient and kind. I struggled with one of the skills, but he gave me tips and helped me figure out where I was getting stuck. He even arranged extra pool time for me to practice before heading to the lake, which made all the difference. Dan was incredibly supportive and genuinely cared about helping me succeed.

Stefanie brought along some extra gear for me to use that fit perfectly and kept me warm during the lake dives (huge bonus!). I couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide me through this process.

If you're thinking about learning to dive, I highly recommend Dive World Austin. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and confident every step of the way!

I received my open water dive certification at Dive World Austin. This is a fabulous group of people! Seth, Christy, and all the others were so helpful, encouraging, and just the absolute best! I live near Corpus Christi, but was unable to find a class open this time of year so just by chance, I found Dive World Austin and I’m so glad I did. I could not recommend them enough.

My husband and I just got certified through Dive World Austin and it was an amazing 10/10 experience from start to finish! The owners of the shop are very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. They walked us through the process, got us properly fitted for gear, and ready to go for open water dives! Our dive instructor Kyle was great, as was Dive Master Stephanie. Kyle was so patient and really walked us through step-by-step. He shared great insider information, and was so enthusiastic. You can really tell everyone at Dive World Austin truly loves what they do. Highly recommend getting certified here! We can't wait to get a few dives under our belts and join one of the shop trips!

Matt Jacobs was an Awesome instructor! I am a 66 year old woman with Neuropathy in my feet. I am a very good swimmer. I guess that helped... Matt and Jason took my gear down the treacherous path to Lake Travis because the lake is So low... He was extremely helpful and kind! He has been diving since 1982 and is Very knowledgeable! I appreciate the folks at Dive World Austin for helping me accomplish a dream!

Did my certification with Dive World Austin and they were helpful from the moment I booked, answering all questions, to the very end, when they served us a lunch. The diving and instructions were professional and my instructor Kyle really cared, was knowlegable and made the entire course a breeze. Recommend them for anyone getting certified.

Had an overall great experience with Dive World Austin. It is obvious that the owners are passionate about scuba and helping others enjoy it too. They were willing to go above and beyond to help their students.

Carl is a wonderful pro instructor. He was patient, skilled, knowledgeable, and helped me through some ear issues I was having. With Carl, certifying was a breeze! Highly recommend Dive World Austin and Carl.
