I did my checkout dives with Atlantic Edge at Hyde\'s Quarry. The instructor and Dive Masters were great and the other students were fun. We all bonded over getting certified together. To celebrate our certification, we put on hoods and gloves and went down to 50ish feet to see a school bus. Even in that murky water, it was awesome. One of the Dive Masters stayed with me because I was still a little nervous and that helped me a lot. Thank you, Atlantic Edge, for being trustworthy and fun!

The instructor took time to go over any material I wasn\'t comfortable with, and gave appropriate one on one instruction.

The Atlantic Edge scuba instructors were very knowledgeable, encouraging, and fun! They made my first dive experience better than I could have hoped for, and I can\'t wait to get back in the water. The single day learn to dive course was well paced, and it fit into my busy schedule perfectly. I feel well equipped to test my skills in the open water.

My 15 year old son took the class to get open water certified so he could join some friends on a dive trip in Florida. He certainly enjoyed the class. As a parent, I was VERY impressed with all of the instructor\'s patience, skill, and focus on safety. They did a fantastic job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. I plan on taking some specialty training courses with them myself.

Hi Terry,
Again, sorry for getting you wet as I threw my fins to you while leaving the Ray tank, but on the other hand the water was delightful ;-) I do have some video and pictures which, once properly edited and spliced together, I will forward to our class! Suffice to say the total experience was awesome! The staff and \"service\" was first class. The two tank experiences were both wonderful and absolutely intriguing for any experienced diver. The intimacy we shared with the marine life (all personalities equally included) and being on the other side of the glass, made this once in a lifetime experience a must!
Thank you again for your professionalism and please do, pass on my sincere appreciation to those responsible for this touch with marine life.
Great time had for all....
Rob

Our instructor, Mary, and the others were extremely knowledgable, encouraging, VERY patient and helpful. Their excitement for scuba diving was real and it made the course much more fun. I feel that I made a very good decision in selecting Atlantic Edge.

What a great experience! I enjoyed the staff and the facilities. The aquarium dive is an amazing opportunity to see fish up close and personal! It\'s exciting to add aquarium dive specialty.

Great class. My husband and I did the one day course and we really did manage to get a great deal of content into a short amount of time. Instructors were great and with the exception of some missing equipment (which someone drove back to the shop to get) the class was well organized and lots of fun!

This experience was so unique and exciting, because the unique environments of both the Atlantic Coral Reef and Wings in the Water exhibits truly come to life! As a certified diver since 1977, having encountered many wonderfully different environments, I never experienced the intimacy associated with diving in such close quarters with diverse and fascinating marine life.
Each tank holds different treasures and in their own distinctive way, each dive experience brings very different opportunities. Being on the “other side of the glass” brings to mind the \"Twilight Zone\" episode where People Are Alike All Over, where astronauts landed on an alien planet and then given an earth house in which to live so they felt “at home, only to learn that the house is really a cage in a zoo! Watching adults and children alike, watch you behind the glass is a must once in a life time experience, where the diver gains a new perspective on aquarium and zoo life from the perspective of the non-human residents.
The staff is all very professional, the service is first class!
Do it!

I felt as safe and taken care of as possible. I was very nervous coming into the class, but I feel much more comfortable now. The experience was very exciting and I learned a lot. Leia is an EXCELLENT instructor both in and out of the water and I wish I could take her with me on every dive I do for my whole SCUBA career. Chris got me an extra wet suit because I was getting cold - talk about a life saver :) The only thing I would change is maybe having 8 people instead of 10 - the pool got a little crowded with 10 of us plus instructors.
Thank you for an awesome experience!

What a rare diving experience! Being literally nose-to-nose with cownose eagle rays, having a roughtail ray sweep around and between us, and even glide over and brush my head a couple of times. The green sea turtle was very interactive, nudging under us as we knelt on the bottom, and flipping us onto her shell. Dive instructor Terry Wells was great! Highly recommended!!

Chris was my instructor for the Discover Scuba class, and he made the experience low-pressure, relaxed, and fun. AEDC\'s shop and pool are well-designed and clean. I highly recommend Atlantic Edge!

I have to admit the realization that you become part of the exhibit when you enter the water was alittle overwhelming. There are a lot of people watching. I found that I had a great time \"playing\" with the kids on the other side of the glass. My family told me that even the adults were excited when I came to the glass to interact with the people. Being used as a scratching post by Calypso (the sea turtle) was the absolute high but I found the interaction with the people was almost as much fun. This experience is really about interacting with the fish in a way you cannot in the wild but also about the people. Terri from Atlantic Edge and Dave from the Aquarium were awesome. Everyone at the Aquarium couldn\'t have been nicer.

I really enjoyed learning to dive with both Pat and Terry. Not only did I have so much fun but I also felt safe and completely comfortable underwater. I would love to go on dives with them in the future and even trips. The DMTs were also so helpful and I was happy with all of them as well.

What a wonderful experience! I had such a great time interacting with the wildlife and the people behind the glass. What a neat way for my wife (who does not dive) to get to see me underwater. The animals were amazing and the staff is SO helpful and kind. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who dives! Thanks so much to all involved.

I got up close and personal with so many different kinds of animals, it may take me 100 more to see half of them again. It was an experience I will always remember and compare things to. Atlantic Edge made that experience all the better by giving me all the info I needed to make sure my dive was enjoyable....and it was! The whole operation ran smoothly and went off without a hitch. I will be recommending others to do this dive and to do it with Atlantic Edge. Thanks!!!!
