I have to agree with an earlier comment. Beach Cities are extremely expensive and they certainly take advantage of their customers and their PADI course is awful. I took their PADI approved course and found the whole thing rather awful. Our instructor had absolutely no patients and we went through each section of the class suffering from equipment malfunctions and all the equipment we bought from them was all sized wrong. In both pool classes and both open water classes were still fighting our equipment and never were weighted right.... I was almost completely turned off of the sport of SCUBA because of the experience
Pros: Local
Cons: very expensive & not very professional
