OUR TESTIMONIALS

What Our Customers Say About Us

Eli Moreno

Raul is an incredible teacher, I had the best time taking my pool lesson with him & learning about his knowledge & passion for diving, I can only hope one day to be as skillful as he is! I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn how to dive, he takes his time & treats you so nicely as you learn to navigate new territory. I can’t wait to see where my newly learned skills take me & it’s all thanks to Raul at Rays diving, thank you so much!

Steve Shiffman

Raul and his class were great. Very patient and well run class. I did the full-day pool session after doing the e-learning in advance of a trip where I plan to do the open water dives. Class was small -- 4 of us -- and well organized.

Pakelody Cheam

Raul was an awesome instructor! I went into my confined water dive a little nervous, but that quickly washed away. Raul was friendly, thorough, and patient throughout the whole process. He also kept the group updated on what’s to come, which I found helpful. It was a huge plus to be able to wrap up the confined water skills in a day. I feel confident about the open water dives!

Samuel Greenberg

I truly can't put into words how much fun I had learning to scuba dive with Rey Diving. I signed up online after reading their excellent reviews, and the service did not disappoint. Raul is a truly fantastic instructor--kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and most of all, enthusiastic. He clearly loves what he does, and it shows. Frank is likewise extremely friendly and helpful. After taking the eLearning (which was included in the cost of the class, and which was, interestingly, *the* most interesting, practical, and well-put-together online course I've ever taken), I did my confined water dives at the Brooklyn Sports Club. My group was small (4 new divers including myself), which was fantastic--all of us really got a ton of instructor attention. While I'm going to be doing some diving next month in Hawaii, I'm almost certain that I'll be signing up for an open-water trip with Rey Diving next year to complete my certification. Genuinely can not recommend Rey Diving enough!

Marcos Arias Hodgehenry

Excellent experience, The instructor Raul was really patient explaining every detail and made sure everyone understood the whole process and repeat it if necessary (I feel more confident of my open water dives coming soon because of this)

Benjamin Aghion

Raul was amazing as an instructor. He has a steady hand and calming but engaging presence. Perfect a day in the pool learning to scuba and most importantly, learning all the safety around scuba. He was generous with his time, super attentive, and willing to foster my curiosity (loads of questions!) I recommend him without any reservations!

Thea LaCrosse

I did a refresher course with Raul and had a wonderful time. He was very patient and walked me through everything. He made sure I felt comfortable with everything before completing my refresher. He shared some great stories and I loved hearing about his diving experiences. I would love to work with Rey Diving in the future!

Ted Willis

I had an incredible experience doing the pool portion of my Padi Open Water certification. The instruction was thorough and I appreciated the small class. After this session I feel very confident to progress to the open water dives I need to do to complete my cert!

Brian Morales

Did our training with Raul and Frank and they were both great. The fact that they include the eLearning when you register to do open water diver training is also such a great deal. Other places want you to buy that separately
