Dive Brockville Adventure Centre

I came with my brother from Toronto to get him to do the advanced open water course. Ivanna Tobar was his instructor for the weekend. She was amazing to deal with from the beginning at the time of booking the course with her all the way to the end of the course. She is accommodating and comforting specially if you feel uncomfortable at first with diving.I have taken my advanced open water last year, and I was only giving my brother accompany as he was doing the advanced open water. She is definitely one the best instructors that you can find. If you coming from Toronto or even elsewhere to learning diving, make sure that you book with Ivanna, because she will be very thorough in teaching and comforting as you build your skills and confidence in the water.I have attached a video of the deep dive as she was cracking an egg and showing how it will behave under the high pressure of the water.

We rented a canoe for two hours in September and it was a breeze to get started. Attendants were helpful and great at what they do.This was my first canoe ride and I had no idea what to expect so I relied entirely on my partner.The St. Lawrence river is beautiful and it was calm around 4pm. We took the advice to row upstream along the coast and found a lil’ island to have a small break before heading back. The boating life is now a lifestyle I want to adopt. Everyone in the water respects each other and it was all in all a wonderful, safe experience.

We rented dive tanks at the center, but unfortunately one turned out to be leaking when we got ready to dive an hour away from the center. We assumed that this could happen once in a while and kindly asked for a refund for that one faulty tank (16$).We were appaled when she refused squarely to refund and accusing her customers of having caused this and that the center was never at fault. She offered an in-store credit which for tourists that may never go back to Brockville, is worth nothing.Ironically, when we were about to leave the store, we bumped into her Complaint policy"

10 Stars! There is no other boat charter on the St. Lawrence better than Dive Brockville Adventure Centre. :)

Came up from Toronto for a great scuba diving experience. I started it all with a boat tour with Helen. Unfortunately on this boat ride there was a teenager who attempted to ruin the experience by screaming and constantly express how much he did not want to be here. Helen's approach was absolutely amazing. She was firm and direct with explaining that for safety and enjoyment for everyone else he needed to follow captain directions. At this time this teen expressed his anger toward Helen and she did an amazing job keeping professionalism and safety of all others on the boat. Very impressed.I ended up finishing the week off with the open water padi course with Ivanna. She did a fantastic job as an instructor and made my experience absolutely amazing. She helped me grow in the water and allowed me to feel secure and confident in my skill set as a new diver.Thank you so much to the staff at Brockville dive for the absolutely amazing experience. Helen and Ivanna I will definitely come back one day for another dive!

Had a great time diving around the Robert Gaskin and Lillie Parsons shipwrecks this week with Brianna as our charter captain. Very nice, friendly, and informative people working at this dive shop. Will be back for more dives for sure.

Hired a inflatable canoe for two hours and managed to make it to skeleton island which was great for photos, staff were very kind we did rip the kayak but we didn't have to pay extra fees!!!!

The crew at Brockville adventure center are amazing we had a great couple of dives with them

My hubby did a dive with Abucs last night. There were only 2 divers in the group and unfortunately the other diver chose the wrong tank. Helen was so accommodating and kind and we stopped near the shop and Emily ran a correct tank to us on the boat. Helen manoeuvred the boat beautifully. Then we went to the dive site. The divers went in but the other woman soon ascended as her recently serviced reg (from a different five shop) wasn't set to her liking. Helen was kind and professional and once again we bloated over to the shop and again Emily ran down a reg. The platform and ladder between the boat pontoons made boat reentry easy. Helen was very knowledgeable about the site and genuinely cared that her divers had a good experience, which my hubby did. Thanks Abucs, we'll be back!

Helen was an absolute godsend in getting us ready for scuba! She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedules and find us the perfect instructor. Everything about our experience with this shop has been pure perfection! Cannot recommend them enough!
