In my thirty salty years of diving I have seen three dive shops in lower michigan that deserve praise, and SASS or Sub Aquatic Sports and Service (Battle Creek) is one of those three. When I get on a boat anywhere in the world and see a t-shirt or hat from one of those dive centers, I know that person is not going to be a problem underwater. They have been trained well beyond just "checking the boxes and moving on to the next skill." I know the owners, Kim and Rick at Sass, and they are both positive, professional, and focused on how they and their staff can help the next person. I could search and sometimes find this or that item for less, but I could never find better, more knowledgeable, on-site owners. I speak from experience, I tried to "dot com" some gear one time and I made a huge mistake; returned it all never to look back. The longterm view is that there is no better overall deal then supporting and being supported by great local dive centers, especially these three. For the same reason I religiously buy from locally owned/operated businesses, I will go out of my way for these three because I know that they have and will continue to do that for every diver or soon-to-be-diver. SASS stands out to me for having wonderfully researched trips especially to the south pacific and micronesia (Truk Lagoon). They have survived some bad economies while many around them have popped up and fizzled out. For new divers, I encourage you to visit dive shops and use internet reviews as one piece of the picture. Each shop has a vibe or feel to it, find the one that matches how you roll. Ive seen too many people take a class, fail to bond with the LDC, and never dive again. I want more happy dive buddies!

Natural born instructors! The staff at SASS were excellent at answering my questions and accommodating my schedule, but the highlight of my experience was my instructor. Mike Goerge is an adept instructor, and natural born teacher. Patient and knowledgeable, Mike helped me work thru the most difficult aspects of diving, and never once dumbed down the training so Id get my certification. Many dive shops have a weird, "clicky" type atmosphere--NEVER at SASS. I had no problem driving 95 miles (one way) to obtain my dive cert. Huge thank you to Mike Goerge, and SASS.. Youve made me a diver for life.

Went in looking for a scuba cert. Ended up finding a great knowledgeable, fun, family like group of people. Highly recommend traveling with them, no hassel with the boat charter.
