Aqua Lung is my brand of choice and Sound Dive Center carries most Aqua Lung equipment...and many other brands. From wet to dry suits, BC's, computers, regulators, masks, fins, boots & gloves...tanks, air, nitrox...they also offer certification classes. A remarkable dive center that warrants nothing less than 5-stars.

Sent my paintball tank to this place for rehydro service. Received a broken tank about a week later…read moreand was charged the full $50 price for a complete rehydro. Returned in my original box with nothing but a receipt. All they did was break my tank and rip me off. Save yourself the trouble and don't send anything to this place to work on, unless you want it broken.

Visiting this fantastic store brings me immense joy every time! The staff members are incredibly…read moreknowledgeable, and they offer top-notch equipment. I used to spend a lot of time here attending classes and tours. I even named my silly tabby cat after this place, NWOC. I recently held a party here to christen my new boat, and I was blown away by the expanded array of repair tools and special equipment they offer. I wholeheartedly give them ten stars!

They have promoted white water…read moreriver running, such as I do with Paddle Trails Canoe Club, as well as flat water such as lakes & sea kayaking. We are very luck in the Seattle area to have NWOC! I just learned about a Meetup group that does a monthly paddle from NWOC combined with having Swedish pancakes at the nearby (about 4 blocks away) Swedish center. Apparently this happens the first Sunday of each month. Several of us from PTCC plan to try that out.

We were walking down Ruston and they had some equipment out on tables next to the side walk, my…read morehusband was excited as he has been into scuba before, he touched the canvas part of a pack to show me how it worked, and she (I assume Jade?) rudely and I do mean very rudely, said in a pretentious voice, like my husband was a toddler, "should you be touching other peoples equipment "? There was not an ounce of friendliness or welcome. In short, I would never do business with such a person. Put a huge damper on our otherwise lovely walk. Even if he had done something wrong, she could have asked if we needed help or were interested. I told her she was rude, she proceeded to stand her ground and was unapologetic.

Take out a boat 1-2 times weekly, very easy process and when I arrive, boat is prepped and ready to cast off.

Much as I'd like to post a positive review, my experience with the Gyoza class was disappointing…read more Although I've been cooking for decades and have attended many cooking schools, the time spent on this class was not worthwhile. I had considerable difficulty understanding the teacher. More surprising, however, was my discovery of a YouTube video that clearly explained all the elements that apparently were covered in the class. That video took only 15 minutes. I will try another and have my fingers crossed.

Eli & T-sizzle were amazing guides and very thorough in giving you a lifetime experience you will never forget.

Could have filmed my own NGC movie. Thank you Eli, T-sizzle and Outdoor Odyssey!
