Very fond of Pete's Diving Center in Fort Myers, at the West End of Colonial Blvd…read more I began looking in for some minor equipment needs ( I have been an instructor myself since 1987 ) but I enjoy the shopping experience. Pete is a very accomplished and delightful manager of the operation and dive instructor. PROS: 1. Strong emphasis on safety for his divers, absolutely the highest order of instruction for Scuba. 2. Shows sincere interest in being helpful to new students who need an expert's guidance. 3. Offers continuing education for divers who wish to become more proficient, such as Rescue Diver, Divemaster, and many specialty classes - a big plus. 4. Selection of equipment for divers covers everything from a new mask to various sizes of Scuba tanks. 5. Air for filling tanks. The tanks are filled by Pete or a professional, especially critical for divers using "mixed gas" such as blends of nitrox. 6. Pete offers trips for divers especially to Florida's East coast where visibility in the open water greatly exceeds Gulf of Mexico visibility. Offers trips to the Caribbean, a big plus. VALUE: I'm happy to recommend Pete's as a perfect value as a starting off place to introduce Scuba to new divers as well as experienced divers looking for their next five trip, class or equipment. It's the only Dive Center I recommend.

This is our hometown dive shop. We've found them to be honest and fair. They sell gear and…read moreequipment, provide training (NAUI), service equipment and provide air fills. We were informed of upcoming sales prior to our equipment investments and they allowed us to try items before buying them to help us make decisions. They have an indoor pool and offered more than once for us to get in and check things out, which was very appreciated. There is a no cash return policy clearly stated at the register, which simply means that if something isn't right they will exchange the item or, if necessary, give store credit. We haven't needed to do either but are very comfortable with their policy. When considering training, decide if you would like to take the traditional group class or would like to pay a bit more for private training. My husband did his Open Water training here. Following that, we both took the Nitrox class with Charlie. We both agreed that Charlie explained information well, was thorough and kept the class moving forward at a good pace.

We were vacationing im FL and stopped in to ScubaQuest to see what they had in their shop. Brandon greeted us and was super helpful showing us the travel BCs they had and the pros and cons of each. We decided on the Oceanic Biolites due to their compact size and Brandon had both of the ones we wanted in stock. They were offering a couple of different package deals with BC, regulator, etc. Brandon went over each with us and explained the differences. We settled on the Aqualung due to the lifetime parts guarantee. The dive shop has a pool on site but it was being renovated. Brandon told us that typically customers can try out all gear in the pool before buying it. We didn't get to try out our new gear but Brandon assured us that if we had any issues, he'd help us out. We really liked this shop and would definitely go back in the future.

Great Holiday trip out to the USCGC Mohawk In town for the…read moreweek of Thanksgiving, I tried several local shops to see who had tips planned. Most said "no-trips" they were taking the holiday off ( Seems odd for a service driven business) Not H2O, Ant texted me back saying he had trips going out to the Mohawk Wednesday or Friday. 5 experienced divers (2 swimming the wreck and 3 spearfishing) all fit perfectly on this very comfortable 33 foot boat with plenty of seating and coolers. At pickup, Capt Ant had on-board larger steel NITROX (or Air) tanks and soft weights for everyone. He arrange for gear rentals the day before and even took the gear back for us after the holiday. Great Trip, Great Service. Fun guys. Best day diving in Florida I have ever had. P.S. On the wreck: 4 Goliath Grouper, 100+ Amber Jacks, Tuna and millions of little baitfish. If you have not been down to the Mohoawk in 2+ year it is completely different dive now.

When they were using the name Bottoms Up Scuba they opened an Indianapolis location which is where I became a student.

I regret shopping around for the best prices on Scuba training. You really do get what you pay for.

Oh yeah... another thing I loved being able to go around saying "go get your ticket to BELOW ME (boat name)!" That humor is totally the vibe of the instructor and owner Joe and his hilarious wife Stephanie. They are so cute as they banter and give each other total grief and giggles... such entertainment!!! Love them! #CouplesGoals P.S. Checkout the Mexican place next door. Super convenient place for closing out the day.
