A: I'm writing to inform the public of my experience through the academy of scuba, which was completely different than advertised or paid for. After completing research related to the scuba certification process, I was impressed with the Academy of Scuba and their willingness to provide personalized and private lessons. Of course, such services come with a cost. However, given that their services met my needs and would assist with the training of my minor nephew (and scuba buddy) I didn't care. Thus, I entered into a contract with Academy of Scuba for the certification of both myself and my fifteen-year-old nephew. My understanding of this contract included private lessons and check out dives. However, when it came time for our check out dives, there was nothing private about it. We had an additional member join us on our dives. This occurred without my knowledge, consent or rebate in price. Additionally, our check out dives occurred at Vista Point. A small and overly populated bay at Lake Pleasant Harbor. On our dive days, there were multiple teams and over 30 additional divers checking out in the same area we were. The day of our check out consisted of dark, murky water with no more than three feet visibility. Ten minutes into our first dive, our group merged with two other dive groups. Within seconds, there were literally 10 divers in the same small place all fighting for space. It became very confusing and unnerving. My nephew and I were separated from our group and dive master. Additionally, a diver master from one of the other groups pulled my nephew out of my grip and away from me (I'm not sure of his motivation for such behavior but think it's likely that he lost sight of his students and assumed my nephew was one of his). They quickly swam off and I became separated from my nephew and dive buddy. Given that I couldn't find my dive master and was separated from my buddy, I rose to the surface and waited for everyone else to surface so that we could regroup. I spent several minutes in a complete panic given that I had no sight of my dive buddy, but more importantly my minor family member. Trust me parents, this is NOT a feeling you want to experience. When I raised my concerns to Academy of Scuba regarding the incident, they blamed my nephew for losing his dive buddy. I want to remind you, he was literally pulled away from me in a chaotic setting which they advertise doesn't exist given their personalized and tailored services. Buyer beware. Academy of scuba provides no specialized or tailored services despite their advertisements. They are no different than the run of the mill competition which dives in chaotic, over populated settings that create panic and mayhem. I share my story in hopes that you don't make the same disappointing choice I made in using this agency. Brady

A: My 85 yr old mother has used this service previously with acceptable service. Waited 1/2 hr for shuttle to arrive then another 1/2 hr before leaving airport. Van had 6 passengers with excessive amounts of luggage--2 did not have reservations. It was total chaos. She arrived in Phoenix at 7:45 pm and did not arrive at her home until 12:30 pm. Totally unacceptable.

Q: positive

A: I had never been here prior to this past weekend but I'm glad we stopped by! The bartenders here are super friendly and even gave me the extra leftovers from the martini we ordered! It wasn't super busy and the lounge area is super comfortable and spacious. If you are into marine life, they also have a cute aquarium at the entrance with giant statues of seahorses and seaweed.

A:
Hands down, one of the best Thai restaurants in Las Vegas! I always experience a great meal here and if you like Riesling? They have a great selection which goes well with the food. I recommend everything on the menu try it at least once. Come with a large party so you can order many different dishes. Items that i have tried here: 1. Thai beef Jerky - 2. Beef pad se ew - 3. Shrimp panang - 4. Fried Shrimp appetizer 5. Sea bass 6. Catfish filets 7. baby corn with sauce 8. raw sweet shrimp 9. duck with chuchee sauce 10. to yum soup 11. pad thai 12. crispy rice 13. stuffed chicken wings 14. red and yellow curry with any meat The only down side is that it is located in commercial center. This shopping center has been here for ages and it shows. I still give it 5 stars because of the excellent food and great service.
