Sam and Diamond Marine Services made a very daunting process very organized and seamless. From start to finish, Sam guided me through every part of the application process. The communication was excellent, as was any advice he gave regarding all the pieces/parts that make up the application. I can’t thank Diamond Marine Services enough. They truly provide a worthwhile service to anyone considering applying for their Captains License..

Sam and the service provided were top notch. Had several calls with him to go through the entire application, all forms, etc., in great detail. The up to date knowledge he has of what the USCG is looking for alone is worth the money, let alone his help in getting the forms complete, accurate, and organized. If you’ve come this far a few hundred more to put yourself in the best position for a high first pass acceptance and issuance is worth it!

Worth every penny. I’ve spent decades around the industry but this was my first time going for my MMC.. I was initially hesitant about the cost, but Diamond Marine did not disappoint. Sam was a complete professional, providing excellent customer service throughout the entire process. His proactive approach to helping me get my paperwork and requirements complete was very helpful. He quickly returned my calls and was always available to answer any questions I had. I always felt as a customer that I was a top priority, The strong working relationship he has with the Coast Guard paid off in that I was able to get my credential much quicker than I could’ve on my own. Thanks again Diamond Marine and thanks Sam for your diligent professionalism and service!

Without Sam, I would still be dealing with the Coast Gaurd. He guided me through the whole process and made sure my application was done correctly before he sent it out. He kept me in the loop the whole way with personal phone calls and updates. Thanks Sam, I will recommend everyone considering applying for their captains credentials

Mr Thomas is an excellent examiner, definitely would recommend his services.

I received more than I hoped for. Sam went far beyond my expectations. Diamond Marine communicated with USCG evaluators on my behalf and resolved issues quickly. I enjoyed the entire learning process aboard the vessels.

Applying for my 100 Ton master’s was a breeze since DMS took the guesswork out of the process, and also made sure my application was ready for the NMC evaluation. They caught an error in my paperwork that I never would have, which would have stalled the process with the NMC. Sam and his crew are true professionals. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Sam Z. Took the daunting task of all the paperwork, and seamlessly handled it. Money very well spent!!.

Thanks Diamond Marine Services..

Diamond marine makes the renewal process super easy and really fast! I believe we submitted everything to the Uscg around 12-22-21 and it’s on the way to my house as of 1-21-22! That’s fast if you ask me especially being during the holidays. Just goes to show there accuracy and commitment to helping you get it done correctly the first time! Highly recommend!

As a captain and owner of a boat charter business, it was so nice to have the guys from Diamond Marine Services to help our captains renew their licenses. They knew exactly what questions to ask and did a tremendous job communicating with my guys throughout the entire process. It was, without a doubt, worth every penny, and I will certainly be using them again.

Glad I used this service to renew my MMC. They recommended an upgrade I was eligible for with the sea service I had already accrued and explained other options to help me upgrade that I wasn’t aware of. We renewed my MMC and I got a raise in grade i wouldn’t have known about renewing on my own.

Sam and DMS were great. Easy to work with. Very good with communication and even responding outside of normal work days/hours.

Sam and his team were very courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. I took the inland TOAR in Boston Harbor and learned a great deal in vessel and tow maneuvers with Ben and Caitlin. Everyone was very skilled and friendly. I also had their credentialing service advise me in getting my application into the USCG whilst also applying for a license I didn’t know I was eligible for. They can save you a lot of time and money as opposed to figuring this out by yourself.

Sam went above and beyond to help me get all of my paperwork filled out appropriately to obtain my 100 Ton license. The whole process went so smoothly and he answered every question I had. Thanks to diamond marine I am now holding my credential less than 3 weeks after my application was submitted. This service is worth its weight in gold! I look forward to working with them again in the future and would highly recommend them for anyone!

Sam’s knowledge and experience pays dividends with his fast and efficient service! He thoroughly prepared and submitted my MMC renewal, and despite the delayed processing times stated on the NMC’s website, he managed to get my MMC renewed and back in hand in less than a month! Sam and his team are amazing and I highly recommend them for all your licensing needs!

Sam is the best…! The organization behind Sam is the best…! I was amazed at how Sam turned around my complicated renewal and upgrade in less than 3 weeks. I highly recommend this for every aspiring Captain or renewal Captain wanting to present themselves professionally for consideration to the USCG. Your time is valuable and the normal process has become just too complicated and prone to delays. If you want effective and efficient turn around for your documents, Sam is your man…!!! ,

This is worth every penny I would highly recommend it. They walk you through every detail and make it effortless. Sam was great, and made this very simple thank you again

Diamond marine services makes the application process a complete breeze. Sam is one of the greatest people you will deal with in the industry,

Sam, and his crew made what was a pretty complex and lengthy process go nice and smooth for me! Sam walked me through every step of the process and told me what to expect along the way. Returned every phone call and text almost immediately, once even from behind the wheel of a ship!

Looking forward to working with you in the near future.

You guy’s have a great service here, keep up the great work!

Having been in business for many years before pursuing my OUPV credential I always appreciated working with (and paying for) outside expertise that made the end result better and easier for me. That was my experience with Sam at DMS. Clean, clear communication and a bullseye on the goal. Thanks Sam and we’ll see you again at Master upgrade time!
