We are from Colorado and did our open water Certification with Deep Blue Scuba at the Blue Hole in New Mexico. Wish we could give more stars! What a great experience. Samantha was our Instructor and Ben was our Divemaster. They are amazing at what they do and I am so grateful for them and how patient and amazing they were.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time with Enrique, who took me from zero to open water certified at the pool in Albuquerque and the blue hole in Santa Rosa.After open water, We did nitrox and advanced open water.The entire experience was top notch. Enrique doesn’t take himself too seriously, with his laid back approach to life and class, but he does make sure you understand every aspect of the training, especially the safety.We saw an instructor at Blue Hole who used a more “military approach” - not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I was glad we had Enrique instead.The time we spent with Enrique in NM is a time we’ll always remember. I now feel confident enough in my diving to go on adventures in far away places.Highly recommend his shop and his PADI training.

Sam, Ben and Enrique are great instructors. I came with zero knowledge and a hectic work schedule. Enrique helped to get me into classes that met my scheduling needs. Sam and Ben are volunteers and they each were so knowledgable, and really welcoming of questions and worked with us all both individually and as a group. It was such a wonderful experience coming with these wonderful instructors and having the privilege of so much experience. It was a blast too!

I don't write a whole lot of reviews for Google, but I feel like this place had to be an absolute exception.Not only was the Open Water course engaging an exciting from the E-Learning to the confined pool all the way to the Blue Hole dives, but the staff were above and beyond friendly. Energetic, bubbly and full of excitement for a hobby most volunteer for, this place is nothing short of a gem amongst any local dive shop you'll ever visit.Whether you're in state or out of state, this place is an absolute MUST if you plan on beginning your scuba career recreational or otherwise.A special shout out to Samantha for her attentiveness and her patience when it came to a struggling diver (me!), as well as the rest of the Deep Blue family. You're friends for life!

These guys are wonderful! I booked a trip to Israel this october and wanted to add scuba adventure to my itinerary. After a day of searching I realized that my PADI certificate was well and truly gone. I did some research and was lucky enough to find Enrique and Deep Blue Scuba!Enrique was exceptionally helpful. Not only did he find my cert with nothing but a date range of 2000-2005 and he did! Not only did he find it, he had a new one mailed to me same day. I intend to do their refresher course in July and be ready for my wonderful vacation.Thank you Enrique, you guys create opportunities for lifelong cherished memories. In my book, you did it perfectly!

Just booked my trip to Israel and decided to add a scuba trip to my itinerary. I was padi certified back in 2005 and between several moves to several different states it appears that card never made to Santa Fe. Luckily, after some research, I found deep blue scuba! I gave them a call early in the day and was helped by Enrique, a stellar employee who not only located my original certificate with nothing but a date range of 2000-2005, got me a new one in the mail same day! I intend to do a refresher course with them next month and can't wait! Thanks for helping me with a chance to add a dive to the already exciting trip. Not only are they helpful, they give you the ability to have fond life long memories. I remember all my dives these are the memories I want more of! Thanks again Enrique!

What an amazing experience with an amazing team!!! Enrique is the shop owner and very understanding of hectic work schedules and life-unexpected surprises.Ask for Ben and Sam personally!!! I felt like I was in great hands the entire time I had lessons with Deep Blue NM, and the instructors went out of their way to accommodate my busy work schedule. They will absolutely make sure you are doing everything safely. I am grateful to the staff for making sure I felt safe and comfortable every step of the way. I can't wait to start pursuing advanced courses now!

Awesome , excited people about diving! Very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help. In my opinion the best selection of equipment in Albuquerque. If you're a new diver you don't have to worry about being made to feel 'less than', they will encourage you! Do it!

I’ve wanted to get certified for a while now but never pulled the trigger. I’m SO GLAD I decided to do so while I was on a work assignment in Albuquerque…who knew you could scuba certified in the desert?!Enrique and the rest of the Deep Blue Scuba family are beyond incredible! They are all very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. After the first weekend in the pool I became quite sick and wasn’t able to complete my certification at the Blue Hole the following weekend. Enrique was very accommodating of me and I was able to join them when I returned to Albuquerque this past weekend!! I can officially say I’m Padi certified and can’t wait to explore the underwater world! Thanks DBSNM!

Choosing Deep Blue Scuba in Albuquerque, NM for my open water PADI course was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Sam and Ben are excellent teachers, highly skilled divers, and just simply two wonderful people. They are patient and help you with every step along the way no matter how long it takes you. They enjoy teaching and working with people of all ages and it shows :) I’m looking forward to taking more courses with them & joining them on dives along the way. I’m so happy I chose their team!! 10/10 recommend :) :)

Sam, Ben and Jason were great, patient diving instructors. I am happy to have completed my open water certification with Deep Blue. Diving 3 dives in the Blue Hole (Santa Rosa) to complete the certification was a beautiful experience for me after becoming acclimated on dives 2 & 3. I’m excited to see what the diving world holds for me in my future. This was a good first step ???
