Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I’ve gone on about a dozen trips organized by Helena Scuba, as well as taken several advanced courses through the shop. You will never find people more dedicated to helping you immerse yourself in the U/W experience than Karen and Glen! Exceedingly competent instruction, a knack for finding exciting destinations, and making all of the arrangements - Helena Scuba does it all.

Glen and Karen, the owners of Helena Scuba, are fun, friendly and expert divers. We have gone on two group dive trips with them and have found them professional, organized and entertaining from the moment the trip is planned. Their knowledge of scuba gear is exceptional and they sell high quality gear at their shop. Glen is an amazingly patient and fantastic instructor who goes the extra mile to insure you are prepared to dive. We highly recommend them for beginners to advanced divers.

My wife and I got our open water certification through Helena Scuba. Glen was an exceptionally patient and thorough instructor, something I appreciated later on after seeing a resort dive instructor give the "short version" of the skills tests to some other vacationers. Practicing skills in the pool was low key and relaxed, and we were able to go at our own pace.
The shop in Helena has a good variety of equipment on hand, and they are able to service and repair a number of brands. If the shop doesn't have what you're looking for, Karen is more than happy to help you find and order whatever you might be looking for. Prices are very competitive, on par or lower than what you would find online.
I would recommend Helena Scuba to anyone in the area who might even be thinking about getting certified.

I have traveled with Helena Scuba for over 10 years and I highly recommend taking one of their trips! I first met them as a guest of another diver who ended up going off with another person and leaving me to dive with a bunch of strangers. The Helena Scuba divers took me in like I was family and by the end of the week they were no longer strangers. I have been on almost every trip they have planed since then. I was a single diver for most of the time so their trips allowed me to meet other people to room and dive with that have now become life long friends. Glen is a great instructor and has helped many of us improve our diving skills overs the years. The trips vary in location but are always casual and relaxing. Karen often plans some kind of game or contest with prizes that helps people learn more about the flora and fauna we see underwater. There is a core group of divers who are experienced divers and travelers so it makes for an enjoyable trip! If you are considering learning to dive and/or doing some exotic dive travel check out Helena Scuba!!
