We have a children’s program that has received national recognition and only continues to grow and strengthen. From 8 – 15 years of age we offer top-notch courses designed for today’s children and tomorrow’s future divers.  From Bubblemaker to Seal to Junior Open Water Diver and beyond we offer diving opportunities for our young divers.  With staff members that are also Boy Scout Merit Badge Counselors we enjoy teaching our local scouts the thrill of scuba diving while earning a merit badge at the same time.

For the non-diver we offer a variety of snorkeling and skin diving classes in addition to selling premium snorkeling equipment.

We have a travel department with two or three trips a year out of the country to some of the most popular destinations in the world.  Our trips are always full with divers and non-divers alike.  We do the work and you have a great vacation.  We also host monthly local dives in season for our local divers to stay current and have fun.

We are proud to sell and service Aqualung and Oceanic dive gear.  We have a full retail department that includes Suunto, Deep See, TUSA and many more manufacturers.

Our staff has worked together in the industry for over 15 years and we are proud to say that our commitment to diver safety and enjoyment is paramount to our shop.  We love making dive dreams come true.
