Scuba Views

Today I finished my open water dives with Bill. I cannot thank this shop and staff enough for their kindness and extreme patience. I was a more than a bit nervous and both instructors Eric and bill went above and beyond to ensure I was ready to do the required tasks for safety. I am extremely pleased with their services. I highly encourage anyone looking to become certified to use their dive shop. On top of that their prices are the best in town and trust me we did our research! Way to go team thanks again for helping me be able to explore our awesome oceans!

Scuba Views is a first class operation. Thanks to Bill and Eric for very thorough training. Took my certification to Bora Bora which blew my mind! Scuba Views is your place to get started in the Scuba world!

I have had many divers tell me nothing but good things about scuba views. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. They don’t try to push anything on you or talk down to you. great place to buy, get service, or training.

So this was one of the best things the hubby and I have done in Vegas! Levi was a cool teacher he made me and my hubby feel very comfortable and in control! We will continue diving with scuba view. Even Eric was super helpful, he knows everything just ask well if it’s about scuba! I highly recommend this school if u just wanna try it out or go pro

This is the new location for Scuba Views. I am a long time client of Scuba Views. Bill certified me and I have done many trips and dives with this shop. Everyone here is great, friendly and knowledgeable. Even the prices on gear are good.
REMEMBER, THIS IS THE NEW LOCATION!!!

My husband and I were loyal customers of Scuba Views and both completed our Divemaster courses with them and in fact preferred the small scale, personal attention. My husband prepaid for his Instructor (IDC) course and materials without a scheduled course start date which we had no issue with because we trusted that Bill would uphold his end of the bargain. After months and months of either no response or blaming the course director, still no IDC class start date. We requested a refund for the course and were denied. They stated that there were no refunds on courses and that the opportunity was open ended — but how long were we supposed to wait! We were continuously given excuses about their personal financial troubles and they refused to give us our money or even merchandise in return for the cash they clearly had already spent. Now, I see that they are opening a new store next month and feel more taken advantage of than ever. My husband and I will never use Scuba Views or recommend their services again. Please be cautious of prepaying for services unless they are already scheduled.

I haven’t been scuba diving in a few years and I was feeling rusty. I wanted to get up to speed and get back into diving since my fiancé also dives. I checked out Unilocal and found this dive shop in our area. We stopped by to check out the shop and ended up registering for a scuba refresher class. I spoke with Eric and he signed us up for our class that following Sunday. They offered great pricing– $ 100 that included classroom training, pool training, and all equipment (Tank, wetsuit, snorkel, fins, mask, booties, BC/​BCD, Regulator).
What we covered in the classroom:
— dive safety concepts
— dive planning essentials
— dive safety and problem management
— we practiced putting all of our gear together
— we practiced our pre-​dive safety check with your buddy
What we covered in the pool:
— basic scuba skills:
* taking mask off and replacing it under water
* transition from regulator to snorkel
* dive signals
— practiced solid buoyancy control
Overall, I was very pleased with this course. There were only 4 of us in the class and I appreciated the small class size. Eric, our Dive-​Master, was very knowledgeable and easygoing. He was patient with everyone in the class and was very helpful. We were 110% comfortable in the water and feel ready to tackle our next dive. I’m looking forward to logging a few dives and then pursuing my Advanced Open Water Certification at this shop.
Gear Tip: They have some great deals on gear packages. They even throw in a Dive Certification Course with certain purchases! They also advertise they will match internet pricing on dive gear packages!

Bill and Marilyn are great people, I was able to rent scuba tanks, wet suit for an affordable price for a boulder city dive. I use Zeagle, and lots of pelagic things and they are the only ones I know of that carries the line up I use and need.

Bill is fantastic! I live in N. Dak and was able to do my classroom and pool work here, but flew to Vegas to finish by open water (mid Dec 2013). Lake Mead was beautiful, very cold-​water appx 54 degrees. No one else was signed up during the week I was in town, so I was able to get one on one certification from Bill. Wow, Bill has had an amazing life with lots of experience and is amazing to learn from. Eric was in the shop and super nice as well. Scuba Views is in N. Las Vegas and about 40 mins from Lake Mead. Bill drives you out there, has all the equipment you need and brings you back. I started early one day and Bill even stopped at Starbucks on the way out… Thank you!!! Their shop has everything you would need to buy, Eric is a certified equipment technician and they can definitely take care of all your scuba needs. I wish the best of luck to them and future success!!! Thank you for certifying me for my honeymoon to the Dominican Republic.

Bill and Eric were super helpful. I came in to look around to see other dive shop has to ofter other divers now that I’m certified OW. They have charter boats that go out to lake mead. Very inexpensive. So I booked it for my BF and I to go out 11÷2÷13. I was nervous cuz I only had nine dives but Bill was super cool and very helpful. I was hesitant because I figure the water would be cold for November. Nope not even cold and the visibility was at 50 feet clear. I actually now enjoy diving in cooler weather. It was one unforgettable memory. I plan on diving more with Bill and Eric.

We needed to get certified for a trip to Australia and only had a few weeks before our trip. Bill Duckro worked our training schedule around our needs and was able to get our classroom training, pool training and open water dives done well within our schedule. The cost was very reasonable and included everything we needed The shop and staff were super nice and helpful. No pressure at all to buy anything, just to have a great learning experience.
I was nervous but Bill’s experience and professionalism quickly put my fears to rest. He was very patient with me. ;-) We did our open water dives at Lake Mead with both Bill and Justin, who are excellent instructors.
We were ready for our dives in Australia! We dived at the Great Barrier Reef as well as the Ongala Wreck out of Townsville. Really great experience thanks to Scuba Views! Thanks Bill, Justin and Marilyn!

My girlfriend and I spent a lot of time reading reviews and calling around various locations in the valley. We went with Scuba Views after weighing the cost, convenience and quality. We were definitely not disappointed.
Everyone at the shop was always very nice and they worked above and beyond with our busy schedules to make sure that we were certified in time for a cruise we had planned. Everything went very smoothly and Bill worked hard to alleviate various concerns we had as the course progressed and made sure we were completely prepared at the end.
I was a little skeptical about getting certified in the desert, but was impressed by Lake Mead (even if my expectations were a little low to begin with). If you are looking for a place to learn to dive in Las Vegas, Scuba Views is a terrific choice.

I have been in to this shop on three separate occasions and purchased items on two of the three visits. The customer service here is excellent. This is a locally owned and family operated business. I always try to support locally owned small businesses before I shop online. I have found their prices to be comparable to what I see online. Bill was very patient with educating me on the pros and cons of different styles of equipment. I would recommend this shop to anyone who is either interested in learning to dive or has been diving for years.

On a whim, I took my daughter here to see if I could spark an interest in scuba diving. We immediately signed up for Open Water certification after meeting Bill. He quickly reduces anxiety and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. He is patient and shows genuine interest in teaching students.
We did our classroom instruction one weekend and completed all our dives the next weekend (Fri/​Sat/​Sun). We were told early on that they were flexible to our schedule.
Gear rental and insurance were included in the training package deal and there is a military discount as well.
I honestly felt lucky to have found this place, we were VERY satisfied… I definitely recommend Scuba Views!

I’m a complete and total wimp. My husband has been certified for many years but I’ve always been completely freaked out by Scuba and had put it off. I finally bit the bullet before our honeymoon in Tahiti and I’m SO GLAD I went with scubaviews. Bill & Marilyn are the owners and were a pleasure to work with. Bill teaches the classes with Justin and I can’t tell you how patient they were with me and my crazy fears. They made me feel comfortable diving which is a miracle given how scared I was starting out !
Besides being so freaking cool, I have felt no pressure to buy tons of scuba gear (maybe I will buy more, someday!) and they are so flexible with your schedule. They will work you in, work extra hours, and do everything they possibly can to make sure you’re certified before your big vacay — even if you leave next week!
If you aren’t certified, you’re missing out! Scuba is incredible — even for total wimps like me !

If you are looking to get scuba certified, I highly recommend visiting Scuba Views and talking to Bill Duckro. Earlier this year, my husband and I decided to take a last minute trip to Australia, and never thought we’d be able to certify in time before we left. Well, 4 days later, we were certified and on our way! Bill and Marilyn, who are the owners, are the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, and went out of their way to accommodate our schedule. Bill is an extremely kind and patient instructor!
