  Very knowledgeable and experienced, very straightforward and straight up attitude which I liked. I took the basic PADI course and enjoyed both the classroom and pool sessions, they make it easy for you to feel comfortable and confident with the equipment. The weekend course is fast paced but it’s perfect if you are looking to get your scuba license for a trip. The best price around the city for what you’re getting, they let you put your equipment rental fee towards a purchase in their scuba shop too, which I found useful.

  Classes are good. Pool classes are good as well. Maybe too many people per class though. Rental fee are a bit expensive.

  Good class. In pool sessions are invaluable. They were up front about the rental fees so you shouldn't be blindsided.
  
  Todd knows his stuff and was good at answering questions.

  Very experienced and patient instructor. The step by step instructions made me feel very comfortable throughout the class. I thought everything was paced out nicely. Thanks for introducing me to the world of scuba diving!

  This was a GROUPON deal and worked for me quite nicely. Some of the negative comments for the weekend course are probably because the candidates did not take the time to read the material and any weekend course will result in feeling rushed if you don't fully prepare yourself or dedicate your full weekend to it. Also the price for this course is right - there are significantly more expensive diving courses that might have been better for them.
  
  Also, I highly recommend doing a discover scuba first in a tropical destination so that way you can see if you like scuba diving or not and are comfortable with the activity overall.
  
  I spoke with Todd Shannon initially over the phone and found him to be very knowledgeable and he explained the open diver course. The GROUPON was for $399 and included the in-class lessons, confined diving (pool) and open water dives (4 in Lake Ontario) as well as all the equipment necessary. I explained I was heading to Cabo and would like to do open water dives certification there and Todd explained that Aqua Systems could provide the open water course referral. I could complete my 4 open water dives in Cabo get my open water certification and then come back to do the dives included with Aqua Systems as advanced dives in Lake Ontario.
  
  The first Tuesday lesson, Todd provided me with the PADI book and because I did the Tuesday night course I had plenty of time to prepare each week, complete the review questions and ask my questions to Todd. Also, Todd took the time to explain the dive tables quite well and always took the time to work on any questions that I had trouble with. I found him to be pleasant, informative, instructive, helpful and efficient.
  
  My first Tuesday, Todd was nice enough to drive me to the pool, but I would recommend that you have a car if you do the Aqua Systems courses - the Tuesday classes (3 separate weeks) were always small either just myself or one/two other people, you do two hours in class at their location at Dundas and Dixie then drive to the Etobicoke pool on Rathburn for two hours. Perhaps the weekend courses are very busy (2 days in a row).
  
  Also at the pool it was never more than 3 people to 1 instructor and I found the instructors to be very knowledgeable. By the second week I had done everything on the checklist and felt very prepared for the open water dives in Cabo. In fact, when I told my girlfriend, who is certified, it was 6 hours classroom and 6 hours in pool, she was impressed. Not only that but you can go in your 4th week just for the in pool session for $10 - equipment included - so you can practice more. Anyone who feels uncomfortable after the lessons and in-pool should definitely take advantage of this extra practice.
  
  Overall - I think for the price I paid I received great value - still have to do the advanced dives in Lake Ontario in July, I'm looking forward to them.
