PADI certified - needs refresher course

[factor310]

Looking for a refresher course in Santa Monica. Plan to do two boat dives in mid-Sept. Want to brush up on my skills prior to diving.

Anyone familiar with Haven's Reef Dive Shop in Los Angeles?

Any experiences in dealing with them?

I haven't had any experience w/ the instructors at Haven's Reef, but I recently rented gear there, and they were very friendly and reasonably priced.

You might also check out Reef Seekers in Beverly Hills. I had a short class w/ one of their instructors (Hal, IIRC) who was excellent.

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

I've never actually been in Haven's Reef. I've driven by a few times, but it's been closed whenever I've been by outside of normal business hours.

I've heard good things about the owner from friends of mine though. That's why I go by there from time-to-time to check it out. I think he used to be with Malibu Divers for quite a few years.

Haven's Reef is in Eagle Rock, which is quite a distance from Santa Monica, so I'm not sure if this is the place you're talking about.

Thanks for the reply. I think Scuba Haus in SM may be a better location.

I got all my training at Haven's Reef. Very good staff, talk to Scott Haven.
