Highly recommend Dip 'N Dive for certification and continuing education. They are very professional, patient, knowledgeable and engaging. Safety is their number one goal which will help you build confidence in open water. I definitely plan on taking the next steps to further my education with them while also participating in fun planned group trips and activities they set throughout the year! The classes are designed for anyone of any age (10+) to be successful in. If this is something you've been wanting to do and haven't committed, what are you waiting for!?

Getting my Scuba Diving Certification has always been on my bucket list. After asking many professional scuba divers for recommendations, Dip N dive was always mentioned.I signed up this spring and received my certification!Chris and the entire staff were very patient and made the entire experience enjoyable.It is evident that each person that works at Dip N Dive is enthusiastic about this craft and excited to share their knowledge.They were all so encouraging, that I am now enrolled in the advance course at Dip N Dive and look forward to continuing to learn how to explore the underwater world with them.If scuba has been on your list of things to do, Dip N Dive is the place to start for sure. You definitely won’t regret it.

Dip and Dive is simply the best scuba training center out there. From the moment we walked in the door, we knew we were in good hands. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home.But what really sets Dip and Dive apart is the quality of the instruction. Chris, our instructor, is a master diver and teacher. His knowledge and experience are second to none, and he makes sure that every student in the class is confident and competent before taking the open water certification. In our class we had Charlie, Tad and Jim assisting and each one of them brought their expertise, experience and kindness to the pool.The training is comprehensive and hands-on with plenty of time in the pool to practice skills before heading out to the open water. We will be doing our open water dives in June, and we feel prepared and comfortable.Overall, I cannot recommend Dip and Dive highly enough. If you're looking to get into scuba diving, or if you're already an experienced diver looking to improve your skills, this is the place to go. The staff is amazing, the facilities are top-notch, and the instruction is simply unbeatable. 5 stars all the way!

Great staff, great lessons, great selection. Did my SCUBA Diving Certification with Chris at DipNDive and can say that it was 100% worth the money. Very knowledgeable staff and in the depth lessons made learning easy. If you want to become certified or need gear, this is the place to go!

Finished up my open water certification a few weeks ago and I can’t wait to get back in the water! I can’t say enough about Chris, the shop, and my instructor, Jason Botticelli. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. He honestly went above and beyond anything I could ask for to make sure I was able to complete all steps with my chaotic schedule.Chris and his team are just so wonderful to work with - Jason, Bruce, Mariah. It’s so nice to have this hidden gem in our city.

Training at Dip & Dive with Chris and his team gave us the knowledge and confidence to get under the water and feel safe. Looking forward to more training and joining the scuba community with local and travel trips the shop helps coordinate.

These guys were awesome. My wife and I got certified through this shop and were extremely happy with our choice. Chris and his staff were a great help in answering questions and making sure you were well prepared to go diving. When asking questions about gear, I like that Chris will always give you an unbiased answer and the information you need to be able to make an informed decision for yourself.

I have been talking about getting into scuba diving for a few years. Early last year I called DipNDive to find out some information about the classes. Chris had all the answers and was very professional. I was happily surprised that they were able to make arrangements to safely teach during the Covid Era. My open water dive was at the small boat harbor, we were the first group for 2021. I've been diving a few time since then and decided to get serious about diving and buy some good gear. I called Chris and we talked about the different package options and I decided to get package 3. I'm very excited to try it out and use the wisdom 4 dive computer. I can't praise DipNDive enough for how helpful and professional they have been through my entire experience!

Been Doing business with Dip and Dive since 2003. This is with out a doubt the best dive shop in WNY. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. They will sell you useful equipment based on your needs…. I recently just upgraded my regulator and BC and couldn’t be happier.

It’s hard to imagine getting certified with anyone else. The quality that this company shows to its patrons is unbelievable. Anytime I stopped into the shop who ever was there would take their time with my many questions about equipment or training. They only carry products they actually use and trust (at all different price ranges) which is very comforting.My husband and I were interested in taking the open water course and I’m so glad we did. We took a Sunday class with Chris. He is so thorough and pays attention to your weaknesses to strengthen you as a diver. I was immediately obsessed with trying harder each week to prove my self. We looked forward to each class all week. We completed our open water training and I can’t wait to get out there. I feel confident in myself thanks to Dip n Dive. Thank you for opening the world of scuba to us.

Dip n Dive is great in so many different ways I’m not sure where to begin. First off the staff is extremely knowledgeable with any questions that you may have. They will help you find out what your dive needs are and recommend the best solution or products to make your dive successful. The classroom experience is top notch, with the same staff running classes. I had Chris for my instructor and he’s an excellent teacher. With that said their teaching is very thorough but still easy to understand. The pool sessions of classes are of the same caliber. I highly recommend classes vs some online trainings as you’ll be a better and more confident diver for it. The kicker to all this is they give students a really good discount on the gear you’ll need. When you get certified they plan trips all over the world for you to enjoy and get the most out of your dive experience. I can’t recommend Dip n Dive enough to anyone.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Took the class in Buffalo then a vacation in Florida to complete the open water dive. Worked out great. Chris held my certification card until I swung by the office. Thumbs up!! Nice job everyone.
