Here is what I posted to Tripadvisor, My wife and I dove with JADS from May 1 to May 6, 2010.

Not “Just Another Dive Store” (JADS),
Before heading to any new dive destination I do the normal Internet research: Scuba Board, Trip Advisor, Facebook and the operation’s web sites. Other than the occasional “Sour Grapes” posting, ALL the Dive operations in Aruba came across as about the same or “Just Another Dive Store”.
This trip to Aruba was going to be our First (and our Honeymoon), and my wife and I wanted to get our Advanced Open Water Certification. I found it difficult to distinguish between the many dive operations on Aruba, but I did find a way to differentiate between dive operations when everyone says they are great, and everyone makes you feel like “Family”.
I thought it was a line (after seeing it more than once), and it struck me as funny was how everyone kept remarking how they felt like everyone at JADS were family by the time they were done with their vacations.
I have to admit I am now a bit prejudice but I have to reaffirm the sentiment, after five days of diving by my wife and me (eleven dives in all); WE are part of the JADS extended Family. JADS is Not just another dive store.
