I was recommended here by a worker at AirWeld to refill my CO2 canister, and I'm glad I came. I brought in a 20oz canister and the whole refill process took maybe 30 seconds. Super quick, easy, and efficient. The price was fair too--only $8. Overall, great service with no hassle. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I need a refill. read more

Stingray Divers Ops - Diving Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

133 reviews averaging 20 new good ones in 3 days to burry the bad one I left on google maps. Trust me, this is a scam company. They even admitted it on google maps. Claiming they gave me free service which nobody does anything for free. They had to try and fix the bad upgrade/reassembly job they did but failed several times. They also lied and returned a broken gun they claimed they upgraded. Never should have charged me if it didn't work. read more

Stingray Divers Ops - Not such a great reply. It's an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. As per the lord commands. - Diving Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Don't ever book any kind of SCUBA lesson through their website. All it does is link to the PADI site and then they'll charge an extra fee to have an instructor grade your test and sign the paper work. Total ripoff. Go anywhere else. read more

Decent place to top off the tank for your paintball marker. Price is $6 to refill a 24 oz tank. This location is transit accessible (L to Grand or Q59 from Elmhurst/Rego Park). Service is friendly, the place is a paintball equipment outfitter first, diving services company second. Note that I did not fill up the tank for paintball, it's for hacking my sodastream machine (I sold my Tippmann A5 a while back). The gas is clean and should be okay. Will definitely go there again. read more

There aren't a lot of paintball stores in the Metro NYC area, but even if there was... I would still come to Stingray Divers no matter what. I have made quite a few long treks to this part of Brooklyn for some time now solely for their strong customer service alone. On my first visit to this store, I had only needed a tank fill on a new HPA tank. I brought my old one to see if they could recycle it or something. They not only filled my new tank, but they disassembled my old tank and got it back into working order. Somehow Stingray Divers had performed a miracle on a tank that I have long deemed a dead fish. What impressed me even more is that they didn't charge a maintenance fee or anything. They just charged me for the fill of the two tanks. On each subsequent visit to Stingray, I've always been greeted with a warm smile and great attitude from the staff. Although they're seasoned paintballers they give off that air of approachability and friendliness; I've seen them patiently answer countless common questions from new and experienced players. The prices here are competitively priced against the internet and can be a great resource when you need an item now, causing me to consistently shop there to fulfill my paintball needs. On the one time my friend needed light maintenance, the staff at Stingray patiently took apart his archaic marker and diagnosed the issue (My friend is an idiot with old batteries). Needless to say that Stingray Divers has earned a lifetime loyal customer from me. Not because they're one of the few shops but strictly because of their amazing customer service. read more

Quick with the joke and rap-it fire servicing. It's a dime piece. Gots all the goods.

I came here specifically for their paintball services. It's a nice shop with a good amount of markers and gear. Cecilia was very friendly and knowledgeable. She let me hold a few of their markers on the wall and answered a bunch of questions that I had as I was just getting back into the sport. I brought my Empire Axe in for servicing ($35) and she took off my regulator from my HPA tank because I was going to be flying with it for free. I look forward to visiting more often and I recommend that you check out the store if you're into paintball. It's 2 blocks from the Grand St. stop on the L. **They don't service Autocockers which is a bummer** read more

The is one of the most complete store in the Diving business that I had been. It has all the equipment you might need for Diving, they also have classes for those who want to learn how to dive, after completing your class, you get your certificate and can dive anywhere in the world. Stingray also has paintball equipments, guns and supplies. I believe they also repair paint guns. read more

Great staff, great inventory and reasonable prices. Everything you need to get your paintball game leveled up.

One word: EXCELLENT!!!!! The staff knows their stuff when it comes to general paintball, markers, chest plates, etc. They also have awesome recommendations and here's the best part: they actually play the sport! It's so hard to find a place that talks to you from experience instead of meeting a quota. We've been taking our guns for service for the past year and change(usually before a big game) and have been a loyal customer ever since. They are very approachable and if you don't know something, they're more than happy to teach you. Highly recommend if you care about your paintball equipment! read more

I hate to write this since this isn't a reflection of the shop itself, but more their instructor, Kirby. I wanted to find out about getting my Advanced OWC here since the website advertised a great price, $250. Well, first Kirby told me it'd cost $300, plus dive fees, course materials, etc...okay fine, standard markup and fees that comes with getting certified. What really annoyed me though is when Kirby said I had to buy a dive computer. Oh really? Yes, I understand a dive computer helps you get in more dives within a certain amount of time to maximize your time in the water, but to not allow me to take a course unless I buy a computer (renting one wasn't an available option according to him) was pretty ridiculous. I told him I have a dive watch and I can just use the old fashioned way of calculating my bottom time and looking at dive tables, besides, I wasn't in a rush to cram in a bunch of dives within a short time frame. His response, "anyone who thinks that and tells you that is an idiot. You can take your watch and go elsewhere but no one will let you dive." Even in the worst case scenario that everyone is insistent on using a dive computer, other instructors would at least have one and just stay at an equal depth with you in the water the whole time so you can have the same dive profile in the computer. Regardless, I have been at a 5 star PADI dive resort that let me start the advanced course without a dive computer (I didn't finish all dives, hence I'm trying here in NY), and this dive shop (that doesn't even have a PADI certification according to the PADI website) won't. Maybe they lost their certification after PADI figured out all the excess costs they were trying to throw on their students? Yeah not likely, but that would be fitting wouldn't it? So in short, this may be a great spot to pick up some gear, but they need to think about how they're managing their classes... read more

Who knew there was a paintball shop in Brooklyn? I've been going all the way out to the Island to buy my stuff, now I can jump on the L and get my stuff. The guy said they've been there almost 20 years. How I didn't know this is beyond me. They have a great selection of stuff, they also fill HPA, which other stores do not. The guy behind the counter was very knowledgable about markers, I didn't know what hopper to purchase for a loader I bought, he knew this. All in all, it's worth going to pick up a last minute upgrade, or pants and jersey before a game. I'll definitely be back there... read more

oooow, I just got addicted to my new love: Paintball!!! This is something I BEEN wanting to get into. The shop is kool and they got a 'lil target range in the back!!! Man.., There's A new Sheriff in Town and his name is MEGA!!!!! read more

The shop caters to two things: diving and paintball. How many places do you know specialize in these two activities. The shop is not large. It carries enough gear just for your basic needs in both aspects. I went for two reasons: to see if I could get an older paintball (marker) gun repaired and get an upgrade to my existing tank. The cheapest tank they offered me was $150: for a 48ci 4800 Empire - very good deal because online it goes for $130-$140 then you have to add shipping, so as a retail store that has overhead bills, $150 is a decent price. The prices go up from there. I don't think the shop over charges at all because they match internet prices. So if you're in need of a marker, I saw a few hanging on the wall. I saw a few tanks in the display case. I saw hoppers, tank covers, vest and many other accessories on the walls. I definitely suggest calling ahead for their hours of operation and what you're looking for. As for their service, I can't deny or applaud it because I only went in for sort of inquiry in addition to my purchase above: to see if I could get a very old marker repaired. The fact that one of my markers is straight from 1997, it's understandable that the older gentlemen managing the counter looked it over and said he had no knowledge of the construction. It was just too old a marker. He offered to open it up to see what he could do, depending on the severity of the repair, but gave no guarantees or an estimated price on fixing it, so I thanked him and left. read more

Good quick refills of CO2 gas at a reasonable price. Probably $1-2 more dollars at a not-to-be named major sporting goods store but worth it to not have to drive out to LI/NJ just for some CO2. Right near some major public transportation stops but if you're driving don't forget to feed the meter. read more

I just go here for the Co2 refills. It costs $6 to fill up a 24 ounce can. I thought it was going to be more around $4-5, but it's still not too bad. This place serves the purpose. The only thing I don't like is that this is the only place other than a deserted town like neighborhood in Staten Island where I can get a Co2 refill. I have to travel all the way there from Bay Ridge just to fill up a can in a few seconds. It's not the stores fault, but yeah, it is what it is. I don't know how they are with everything else though. read more

An excellent neighborhood resource for diving. Fills are reasonably priced and Elias is a great guy to chat with about local diving. I can only imagine this shop has some real history within the local wreck diving scene. And for anyone wanting to try diving- they have the best-maintained and most reasonably priced rental gear around! read more

Very helpful. Very knowledgeable. I was thoroughly impressed with the customer service. By far the best paintball pro shop I have ever been to in the tristate area. read more

The customer service you get is is great. Super friendly, very informative & fair. Elias is the manager. He always greets you with a smile, once you come back you greets you by first name. Elias and his staff are super knowledgable. If they don't have what you want n stock, they'll be glad to order it for you. read more

Good service, good prices, and great location. The staff have been very helpful with providing tools and their yard space to tech my and my teammates' markers. And they've been quick to fix any issues I could not resolve on my own, for a fair price and quick turnaround. For being a rare paintball pro shop in NYC, I wish they had a larger selection of gear. Other than that, this is a great place for all your paintball needs. read more

After reading the reviews, I came here to get my CO2 tank refilled. Called them twice to confirm that they refill and other reviewers here mention the refill as well. To save you time, you do NOT get a refill. It is a tank swap for a full CO2 tank. It may be my preference, but I prefer not to swap my tank out for something unknown. Even asked if I could drop off my tank to get it refilled (since he doesn't have the machine) and pick up the same tank in a week. He made it seemed like an impossible task and snapped at me. I would suspect these reviews are high since they are pretty much the only paintball shop in NYC read more

Great local dive shop. It's an amazing Brooklyn resource - they blend custom mixes (Nitrox, O2, Trimix) quickly and accurately and their prices are very fair...especially considering the neighborhood convenience factor... read more

Not the closest paintball shop to me but I come here because of the customer service, friendly and funny staff, honest advice, usually has what ever gear I'm looking for and if not they'll order it for you, honest air fills and being able to tech your marker out back in their yard when it's available. If you purchase paint here, the prices are reasonable and they'll check the paint before you leave so you don't have to worry about broken paint. Street, metered parking only for 1hr which should be more than enough. read more

I had a few markers that needed maintenance and my friends recommended me to Stingray. Saw the 4 stars on help so I'd thought I'd check them out. I'm glad I did. I got all of my markers fixed up within a few days. The technicians are knowledgeable and courteous. I've already recommended this place to my friends. If you're within the 5 boroughs and need a reliable paintball shop, this is the place to go. read more

I've come here around 5 times now to get my 2.5lb CO2 tank for my kegerator filled. They're very quick about it and I'm in and out in under 5 minutes. It's fairly close to the L train as well which makes it a quick trip during my lunch break. It's $12 to fill the tank which seems reasonable to me and as there aren't many places to get it filled I don't mind it. I'll keep coming back for sure. read more

There's not a lot of paintball shops in NYC. So this would be the go to if you are in the area. Great service, friendly staff, good selection of equipment, and they have a small test field in the back. read more

I went to the shop to get some info on a new marker. The guy who helped me had a attitude seemed like he did not want to help me. I had took one of my markers to them to get cleaned and came back with a leak. Not happy at all with them and there service read more

Great place to buy or rent gear, very relaxed and helpful. No hard sales pitch. I came to rent scuba tanks and forgot my open water card. They worked with me and found my certification on line. Stingray Divers also offers classes in Scuba diving, advanced scuba, nitrox, etc. Prices are competitive, not sure about the instructors as I haven't used them for any course. Yet. read more

The most complete Dive Shop in NYC. Owner Paul is a pioneer in the local technical and recreational dive scene. Good solid advice on great gear. Custom fills and service. It's also lot of fun just to hang out there. Paintball too. read more

This place is like my second home. I got pretty much all of my paintball gear here and never once have I felt pressured into buying anything. There is never a sales pitch and you always get the best advice for what meets your needs and budget. The staff is always friendly, helpful and knowledgable. When you purchase a paintball marker from Stingray. You get a free hour long tutorial on maintenance, programming and how to fire your marker. Hands down the best paintball shop I've ever been to over he past 11 years in playing paintball. read more

They are awesome I bought my alpha black from there and I got my hear from there and they let you practice in the back. They are friendly people who definetly deserve the business. And make sure you meet the awesome younger kid who works their he's definetly awesome read more

I paid for "Advanced Open Water" dive certification and the instructor only taught one session and was never heard from again. I contacted Stingray Divers and kept being told they would look into it and call me back, eight months and 4 calls later I am still waiting for a response. read more

(PART1) Really nice place to rent/service scuba gear. The owner is a great old school diver. If you have any questions he will give you the right info. and then some...lol I definitely recommend this dive shop..even the customers that goes there are the coolest divers you could meet. Ask about the winter pool diving sessions, nice indoor heated pool to practice your skills !!! Organized by Divers in the community.( PART2) This review is for those who are looking to get your scuba certification. WARNING !!! If you are a mamas boy, or a drama queen, Kirby is NOT for you. I, personally got pined in the cage,dragged by the current and got court in a worldpool. But, I never complained about it and he walked me right through the end. His words " if you could scuba Thur this training and this beach, you could scuba anywhere in the world " this guy trains our service man and women for crying out loud! Man up cowboy and scuba on down Brooklyn style! read more
