I got my open water certification through LSC, and they were great when it came to the course and getting gear for certification dives. I bought some gear from an older gentleman getting out of scuba and took it in to get the regulator inspected and the batteries replaced in the two computers. When I dropped it off, I was told "were a bit backed up but it shouldnt take more than a week" by one individual, and told it shouldnt be more than two by another. Three weeks went by and hadnt gotten a call saying my gear was done, so I called them. I was told "were backed up, but will give you a call when it is done". I called again at 4 weeks and was told the tech wasnt going to be back in until Tuesday but that they would get him working on it then. The following Friday rolls around and I show up, still not done. Edit: I posted this review with two stars originally, less than 20 minutes after posting, I received a phone call from the owner so he could personally apologize. They were finishing up my gear while we were on the phone and are not charging me for the service.

LSC is an outstanding place to learn about diving. My wife and I had the pleasure of learning to dive with some great people whose knowledge and experience was some of the best in the industry. We were especially impressed with Gary Sanderson who is an instructor of the highest caliber. While we were difficult students at times, he still took the time to help us master various skills necessary to become competent and capable divers. John Walker was yet another person who taught us advanced techniques and had a special and perhaps slightly better way of conveying complex information that could be easily understood. I would consider all the staff at LSC to be the best of the best! While we dont live very close to LSC, it was worth the trip for our initial training and anyone looking for a fun and exciting time of learning to dive had best consider this organization. They go beyond the book and beyond the basics and teach you to become real Scuba Divers!

Ive been a client for years and consider the Scuba Center a home. John and Gini Walker are passionate about Scuba Diving and their passion and enthusiasm is contagious! They treat all their clients/customers as family - one big scuba diving family. John will always make the time to talk to any divers - new or old, answer any questions, help anyone find what theyre looking for, and share his love of diving. All the staff at Lancaster Scuba Center are professionals. They maintain high standards of safety and have great teaching methods. The instructors are very patient and very calm. The shop has a little of everything and what it doesnt have, John or Gini will get for you if you need it. They hold a variety of trips - to warm clear water, or "mud diving" for buried treasures and shark teeth! If you want to do it under water, John and Gini can probably accommodate!

My wife and I are going on a trip to the Bahamas and needed to purchase snorkeling gear. Found out about Lancaster Scuba Center at a local outdoor show and paid them a visit. Zach was very helpful with getting us fitted for a mask and flippers.They had a very well stocked showroom with a lot of options. Would definitely recommend paying them a visit instead of ordering online. Make sure you get the right stuff the first time.

Just came back from a trip to Dominica. The LSC staff and other divers were very sweet and kind. We had one member lose the function of her regulator at 40 and the dive masters from LSC were immediately there and took her up safely and made sure she was safe on the boat. They always have extra gear and the ability to fix anything. I HIGHLY would recommend them to everyone. I cant wait for the next trip.

GREAT staff. Knowledgable, helpful, experienced. Interested in getting you the right gear for YOU, not this months special or the most expensive thing in the shop. We also took our Open Water Certification though Lancaster Scuba Center. It was GREAT. They worked with us and our ridiculous schedule to get us certified. Again, wonderful people; wonderful community.

You wont find a better group of people that love sharing their knowledge of diving, travel, and sealife. Lancaster scuba makes you feel like part of the family no matter what level diver or how often you dive. Learning to dive from Lancaster Scuba literally opened a whole new world for me to discover. I only wish I had more time to explore it.

I was going to go here for my PADI cert. till I saw a place near Philly ( Underwater Adventures) which does the same certification for $115 cheaper, and gives you a $50 store voucher for the mask snorkel ect. that you have to purchase..... Though they do have a good selection of gear.

We had no idea what we were doing, what we needed or even what questions to ask but the people who were beyond patient with us were extremely helpful and suited us up with everything we needed and nothing we didnt! Happy customers eager to return.

This is hands down, the best and friendliest SCUBA shop Ive encountered in the area. John Walker is an honest and fair businessman and he will help you get what you need to dive safely.
