Nautilus Aquatics - Vienna

Truly earned every star. The team training myself and my fellow classmates were excited and incredibly willing to work with every student to ensure that we all understood the material, and more importantly could perform the skill. Additionally the staff in the shop are unbelievable! Everyone was so willing to share their excitement and knowledge for diving! One of the lead instructors at the shop even spent time after hours to upgrade my dive computers and show me some really cool features. His efforts went far beyond what was needed. So Thank you!!! Second spectacular service I received was from the technician who rebuilt my regulator. Unfortunately there was an issue that was causing the reg to breathe wet right after a service. She immediately took the regulator, took it apart, re assembled, and tested it to find the problem... Knowing that I am about to travel and feel a little uneasy about it possibly happening again, she offered to have a team member test it on a confined dive, thus making sure it truly has no issues. Seriously this shop is so friendly and willing to put in the extra effort! Thank you all!!!

I have to say, our instructor, Kevin, was absolutely amazing and professional and very patient with each of his students. This place is great and the people are friendly and completely knowledgeable. Thank you, Diventures in Vienna and especially, my instructor, Kevin. Highly recommend this dive shop for your classes and equipment!!

Thanks Diventures and Diveventures Virginia for making the Secore trip to Curaçao amazing! Amazing, easy week of diving some beautiful and alive corals reefs. It was great learning with Sabrina, Dirk and Paul about the work Secore is doing to help the reefs! Thanks Wille Duane and Josh for helping sort through the selection of flashlights and making sure I had my Big Blue flashlights I wanted for the trip. I preferred having the red lens and the marker light at night! Also, the 1 mm neoprene top was perfect weight for me. Thanks Drew and Tracy for making sure my gear was good to go. And MaKenzie and Nathan for facilitating it all and positive vibes! Coming from another Diveventures shop, its great to see the family grow! Thanks oceanencounters_curacao for the photos!

I always wanted to try scuba diving my whole life. We were so lucky to start our journey with this amazing crew. Drew was so patient with us and gave us very detailed instructions. We were afraid to look ugly underwater but Josh took good photos of us so we look so cool even on our first day of diving. Wish he came on the second day too as we were able to go deeper but the new instructor Kevin was also very helpful and friendly. He would remember all of your names and call you by your name. The only thing you need to prepare for is the swim test- we didn’t know so we ate a lot before the pool lessons, but try not to eat too much before going into the pool. And try not to go on empty stomach either because you will be in the water for 6 hours straight. You need the energy to keep it up. Overall, very satisfying experience. Can’t wait to go on a trip with them to Mexico for the actual certificate! Sammie, L and Summer

My son 10 years old, completed his confined water dives with Diventures, Vienna, Va. He had a great time, felt safe and well taken care of by the staff of Diventures. The instructors, Duane, Kevin and Andrew did an exceptional job instructing and maintaining the learning environment. My son had a great time and is now looking forward to a lifelong, fun scuba hobby! Update, 12/17/23 my son finished his open water dives we spent 2 weeks diving with BB Divers, Koh Chang, Thailand! My son is now a Junior open water diver!

The dive professionals at Diventures, LLC Vienna & Sterling are among the best in the industry. A note of praise to all for the exceptional work within our community. Your students really appreciate your professionalism and hard work. I appreciate you as a colleague. :

We had a amazing experience with Kevin King during the scuba dive training session. He is very knowledgeable and able to explain with utmost simplicity. He ensured that we all are engaged all the time and he ensured a personalized attention making sure everyone is brought along. He is a fun teacher to learn with.

Awesome store! Highly recommend! I'm new to Scuba and Willie was very patient and answered all of my questions and explained the difference between all of the gear. I am very happy with the equipment I purchased. I also did my classes through Diventures. Kevin was my instructor in the pool and he made it fun but also made sure we all understood and did the skills properly. He spent extra time with those of us who needed extra time to pass a particular skill. I feel prepared to take what I learned to the ocean to get open water certified.

Great shop, great class, great staff. My wife and I took recertification training while my kids took their basic open water certification. Kevin was our instructor and he was fantastic. He was great with the kids, making sure they fully understood the skills and could perform them correctly. His class management was superior, and he kept it fun, interesting, and on point. The staff at the shop were great getting us all setup for the class. Knowledgeable, professional, and fun. Highly recommend the store and classes through the store.

Kevin King was an awesome open water scuba instructor. Super knowledgeable and thorough. Provided a lot of real world scenario's, which helped solidify information. Feel much more confident in my skills after doing the confined water dives with him! Thanks for all your support Kevin!
