Gigglin' Marlin Dive & Swim

★★★★★Kenley Turville

We started with Coach Callan a few weeks ago and she is outstanding. Our four year old boy looks forward to his lesson with her every week and he's made major improvements. She is encouraging and instructive and she makes his lessons fun. I can't say enough good about her!

The best kid swimming classes we experienced. My five year old now does amazing freestyle, backstroke, learning butterfly, just dove down 15 feet (with a help of an extendable pole for now). Miss Ursula is just an amazing coach, very firm, assuring, knowledgeable, loves what she does and kids can feel it.

I’ve been diving with Gigglin’ Marlin since 2015, and I can honestly say they’re one of the most trusted dive centers in Houston. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of training with at least five different instructors, including some of their most senior staff who are world-class divers with decades of experience. What keeps me coming back is not just the depth of knowledge and skill, but the passion and dedication their team brings to every class. They combine top-notch instruction with patience and genuine people skills, creating an environment where I always felt supported. Even when I stumbled along the way, I was never made to feel uncomfortable—only encouraged to challenge myself and grow as a diver, always within the safety of a well-structured program. It’s humbling to learn from such accomplished divers, and ironically that has only made the learning process even more addictive. I continue to recommend Gigglin’ Marlin whenever I can, because my experience with them has been nothing short of outstanding.

Our son began swim classes at Gigglin' Marlin Dive & Swim in August and it’s been an incredible experience. He has learned to truly love swimming and is now confident in the water. Each time he achieved a new milestone, you could see him beaming with pride. Special thanks to his fantastic teacher, Coach Will, who helped him progress more in one month than he did in all his previous swim lessons. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Gigglin' Marlin for anyone looking for caring and effective swim instruction!

My wife and I started here with our first open water class. We have ended up going all the way to Dive Masters together. We also joined dive trips going to the Flower Gardens in the Gulf, Raja Ampat in Indonesia and Bonnaire in the Southern Carribean. This shop is an incredible place to start your diving and dive vacation journey. So many experienced and knowledgable instructors work here and are ready to train you in whatever area you are interested.
