Float N' Flag Dive Centre

Two years after my first dives (Mexico), I'm upgrading from Scuba Diver cert to full Open Water, and needed to complete pool training in Canada before travelling south again.

My experience with Flag n Float has been first-rate thus far -- like, nearly perfect.

Early tell-tales gave me confidence. Brad, who runs the place, would reply to emails in a few hours with a lot of detail -- fully thought through plans, not form responses. When I'd bump into him in the store, he'd refer to details of my trip and other parts of our conversations.

My pool session was excellent. Brad made it fun, wasn't rushed, and seemed to have a good eye for dialing up/down our cadence based on my confidence/readiness.

I'm too new a diver to say EVERYONE MUST LEARN AT FLAG N FLOAT! Which is dumb, anyway -- I haven't tried every dive shop.

In the past four weeks they earned my trust. For not a lot of $$$, I received a 2-hour equipment refresher from Mike -- really practical, I applied at least one arcane tip a week later -- plus an exam and the 4-hour 1:1 pool session. I can't imagine they made money on that.

I was kind of waiting for the other shoe -- pushing me to buy gear from their shop. They didn't push at all. They just built trust. As they should.

I took the Open Water Diver course and it was great! Excellent instructors and very thorough training! They took safety seriously, yet always kept it fun!

Great showroom. Great selection. Dave & Chris were great. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. Will definitely be back!!

I took my lessons with Float and Flag in 2018. They were so awesome and I highly recommend them. I had bronchitis and needed to rush getting certified but they helped me throughout the course and even gave me extra lessons so I can be more comfortable with the gear etc. I was so ready to dive in Asia after these lessons. I had a great time with awesome trainers/teachers who knew their stuff. Thank you so much Float and Flag team. ❤

These guys are wonderful. So professional, detailed, and friendly. They know the details and spend the time to get them across. Mike was a great instructor. Also if you’re thinking of shopping online for equipment I can tell you that the expertise and support cannot be beaten.
