Rusty / SSA Staff I have had experiences at at least 10 dive shops over the past 8 years of diving. I have sat in on classes, purchased gear, gotten air fills. I can say with complete certainty SSA Montclair is by far the elite of shops. The "Safe Air" program is top notch. The customer service is amazing. Every person on staff goes out of the way to be sure your getting the instruction you need and truly care about your experience. I was certified open water Padi. The level of instruction I received was poor at best. The SSI program literature is totally up to date as where the Padi text had not seen an update since the 70s. I have several friends certified at other shops and I now know after sitting in on SSA's class lectures the instruction is night and day. These guys will keep you ALIVE. I have signed up for as much instruction as time will permit. Cant get enough. It has been my experience the normal feel of walking into a new dive shop is not really a warm feeling. 
Usually the staff acts like there Professional status as a instructor or Dive master gives them the right to be arrogant and cocky as if you know nothing and your there to make them work. SSA is the only store I have felt welcomed to like a family member.  Really a great staff!
If your interested in scuba diving I can promise you will be 100 % satisfied with SSA.  Your education will be the best you can get.  In closing this shop can take you from entry level open water to the most of advanced technical diver.  To my knowledge this cant be said about any other shop in Southern California.  I could go on forever.
Wow what a great Shop........Thanks!
