Hi, Kris....I remember when you were getting your DM....you helped in a couple of my classes for Master Scuba Cert....I know you would have been a lot of fun and an excellent Instructor for those wanting there DM certs....
Back to the subject.... I will say that I know many of the Instructors at Sports Chalet and they are not only my friends but also excellent Instructors.... If that is were you want to get your training go right on and do it.... I got my EFR Instructor training from Dean Cutler a PADI course Director form Sports Chalet....He was very good....
Also we are getting a group together for Friday the 22nd....several of us are meeting at 4:30-5:00 for a day dive...then we are doing a dusk dive, and a night dive...yes 3 tanks.... we are going to have a great time...we will be meeting at Vista Point....Join us!!!!
I had been in there a few times and have actually purchased a few items from them and took a course, actually our OW course was through GCC and Tres Aquas provided the equipment for the class.How come I never hear any mention of Tres Aquas at 7th st. & Union Hills? They seem to be a good shop with good people working there! They offer DM classes as well as many others.
Our overall impression was that as a whole they were not too interested in getting to know new divers, we were in there several times and got that impression over time,
. I also thought their pricing was a little high,
Thanks!
As far as the prices go....Welcome to Scuba hahahah all the prices are a little stupid.

Good to hear, like I said, it's been well over a year since I stopped by but will stop by soon!My experience is the opposite, I've only been there 1X so maybe I caught a good day,
I was driving down the street and saw the shop as I drove by, and had never heard of their shop before I visited.
I walked in and the guy that was there was really nice, told me about all the classes and trips they were working on, and asked if I wanted to be on their mailing list.. seemed like he really wanted my business.
That shop is out of my way (I live in mesa/gilbert area) and they probably wont get any of my business, unless I happen to be in that area and decide I need something, but I would suggest a stop-in for folks that live up North.

I don't know about their DM training but I've always found Scuba Specialties to be an honest, reliable operation. And they have a pool. Frankie and Steven are good people. Kendall too, I just don't run into her much any more.
Since you're PADI, Scuba Sciences is out...
