Aquatic Realm Scuba Center was chosen as one of the fifteen national retailers to receive this prestigious award.  With over 600 nominations of dive retailers from the United States and only two stores in the Midwest area receiving the awards, we are proud of our accomplishment and will continue to strive to meet the high standards set by this award.

Excellence In Retailing Awards

The Council On Retail Excellence, C.O.R.E., operates in association with DEMA and is dedicated to the improvement of the diving industry.  Members of C.O.R.E. include manufactures and certification agencies which understand that retailers are the heart and soul of our industry, and who also realize that if they are to be successful themselves, they must first ensure the success of retailers.  C.O.R.E. was formed in early 2005.

Beyond helping the retailer, C.O.R.E. is dedicated to the idea that if the diving industry is to successfully compete against other recreational industries we must begin to function as a coordinated industry with one common purpose:  To create happy customers who buy our products and services and continue to dive throughout their life.

DEMA and C.O.R.E. are proud to present the first Excellence in Retailing Awards to 15 outstanding US retailers.  These retailers exemplify the professionalism and image to which all retailers should aspire.
