“I am totaly psyched to go diving with Capt Saam! This year I am going to do his Hunting and Collecting Course and learn how to catch lobsters! The Dive boat is totaly cool and the dive sites are awsome. I did my scuba diver class and nitrox with Capt Saam and I am looking for more classes to take. \nThis is going to be a great summer!!!”

Capt. Saam's Scuba School LLC
Very expensive mistake
“Captain Saam is a bad man. Details will follow as to why and to what extent he is a bad man, but just understand it is important that phrase be your first impression of Capt. Saam. As an instructor, he was fine, but the entire experience was stressful, frustrating, and overall it was a disheartening first SCUBA experience.\n\nTo start out the pool session of the confined water he physically shoved me into the pool. Mind you, if we were 8 years old and best buddies, this would have been a fine action to take. However, he was supposedly a professional SCUBA instructor and not an 8-year old child, even though he acted that way.\n\nThroughout the next two days Saam verbally abused the three students perpetually and was actively antagonistic toward the older student who was working toward becoming a SCUBA instructor giving him a great deal of grief and little information that was helpful. Apparently they had been friends for a while and the poor guy just decided to deal with Saam's petulance. His verbally abusive behavior was particularly pronounced because he seemed to truly enjoy his little power trip over his 4 students. Wow, did it take all your advertising prowess to fill a class less than halfway?\n\nAnyway, he managed to scam me out of $565 while making it an entirely terrible experience. Best of luck searching for a qualified SCUBA instructor, but I recommend doing it any way possible that avoids Captain Saam.”
