The shop and team are great. I feel like Im back at mine even though Im 2500miles away. The team is always on top of the equipment, special needs and last minute saves. Prices and gear are all very reasonable and in great condition. Regardless of where in AZ/NV I dive, I try to always utilize the shop as my go-to spot. One cant ask for better!
I just dove with the Scuba Shop and wanted to send a few compliments their way. Over the years I have dove with numerous dive shops and I can honestly say the Scuba Shop is one of the most professional and efficiently organized operations I have ever seen. They just moved 25+ divers from Phoenix to San Diego and back, and all the gear too. I was diving with them for the first time and it was great.Their staff made me feel welcome and it was obvious to me that they have some talented people on the payroll. Anyone in the Phoenix Area wishing to get certified or take additional training should look them up. They also have a large group of loyal divers who have been with them for years. Thats always a good sign in terms of customer service.And the diving was great too. We spent 3 days at Catalina and San Clemente Island (see pictures). And using the Horizon Dive Boat was smart too. That is a well run operation-great food and crew.Having seen how the Scuba Shop runs things, I have no doubt that I will dive with them again. Maybe Ill try one of their Mexico Trips.
Excited to get Open Water Certified. Instructors are great!
I am a YMCA scuba instructor (inactive now) and diver for over 50 years. My Son-in-law and 11 yr old grandson got their PADI open water from Scotty at the Scuba Shop. I flew out and interviewed shops, helped them pick this one, then joined them for the open water weekend in Lake Pleasant. Scotty was first rate, the store staff was happy, knowledgable and super helpful. This is the place to go.
Staff are awesome. Super knowledgable and genuinely passionate about diving. The membership is worth every penny.
Very helpful staff and reasonable prices. I was referred to a place that could repair my damaged wet suit. They had a few that were my size, but limited selection on site. I did purchase new boots which performed perfectly and look better than my older gear.The staff were very friendly and they organize frequent events for SCUBA enthusiasts in the area. I highly recommend the shop and will be coming back for all my future needs. The only complaint would be the limited retail selection on site, but they will order items for you.
The staff at the shop were great from the moment I walked in the store. They helped me pick equipment (vs selling me something) and the instructor Kelly B I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn to dive. He is an excellent instructor. I will for sure be buying my gear from these folks. A+++
They push their own gear that is low selection and high prices. Other scuba shop in mesa has much better selection
I got certified by Glenn who was just simply amazing back in July. Not only did he make me feel comfortable in the water but also confident (mind you I can’t swim) we had a trip coming up to Australia. We dove around the sunken ships on Mortons island. We saw a few little sharks, a stone fish and some angel fish and one turtle in the distance. It was incredible and the best part was after the dive the Padi instructors there asked how long I had been diving for? I said this was my first dive in the ocean, I had just got certified a month prior. They were shocked! they said it seemed like i had been diving for years! I was so comfortable in the water, equalizing and keeping neutral buoyancy! They gave many kudos to my instructor (Glenn)! Thank you so much to the scuba shop and Glenn!! I went from being terrified of the pool water to diving so comfortable and at ease in the big ocean. I cannot wait until my next dive!! Thanks again!!
Service is great with extremely friendly and helpful prople.
Wife and I took an intro to scuba class here. Neither of us had ever done scuba before and wanted go get a feel for it. Cannot say enough about how great the experience was!!!! Staff was extremely friendly and competent. Instruction left us feeling prepared and still left plenty of time for experience in the pool. We loved it!!!
Took a refresher course. The instructor Drew was great. I highly recommend this place.
Outstanding experience here today
I had my two boys, ages 11 and 16 certified through the Scuba Shop. Everyone I dealt with was nice and professional as I checked into signing them up and asking about trips etc. Kelly, their instructor, was perfect. Patient and kind. The younger one was a little nervous but Kelly was so good at keeping him calm and confident. Both boys thought he was awesome! I highly recommend this shop👍🏻
I would give this dive shop 10 stars if it was possible. From the moment when I walked in the door to sign up, the staff was very helpful and professional. First class all the way. The first night of class, we greeted by your instructor Gina and her assistant Cynthia. Although I was nervous, Gina brought a positive and relaxing environment to the class room. In the confirmed water instruction, Gina was wonderful. Gina was very patient and understanding. If I could not perform a skill, I would get frustrated, but Gina would make it a positive. I really appreciated that.The great training I received from the scuba shop really paid off on my trip to the Grand Cayman in August. I did 4 dives and had no fear, knowing that I was trained by the BEST. Again, thank you Gina and Cynthia for your wonderful training. Thank you to the scuba shop for allowing me to train and learn from the best
I did three certifications with them in one week and loved it. Jeff was my instructor and he was really patient and informative. I thought I was going to be getting these certifications as check list items to work toward my Master Diver Certification. I ended up learning a lot of stuff and seeing amazing improvements in my overall diving. The stores team were very upbeat, friendly, and ORGANIZED. My family will be doing all of our training through The Scuba Shop.
My son and I went through the Open Water Diver class recently. One of my concerns was how my 12 year old son would do in class. Kelly was amazing and made the class material interesting and pool work prepaired me for my checkout dives. If you are considering SCUBA I recommend Kelly and the rest of the staff at The Scuba Shop
My Dad and I went in to take a refresher course and we had a blast! It was informative, fun, easy and Fernando and Steve took great care of us the entire time. I HIGHLY recommend The Scuba Shop! They genuinely care about you, your safety and that you enjoy every moment of the underwater world!
Once you go through your first class your be hungry to do more and buy equipment as fast as you can. The staff is very friendly, its the family you get to choose. They have great advice and always seem happy to see everyone who walks in.
Great staff and very helpful. Prices on equipment are competitive. They offer certification classes really frequently. I highly recommend this shop for all things scuba.
My wife and I did our scuba certs there a few years ago. The staff are super friendly and extremely good at teaching. Ive bought much of my scuba gear hear since and always go back when ever I need anything. Top shelf shop for sure
My husband and I completed our Open Water certification on 10/8/17. Our instructor was Dennis Harvan with the Scuba Shop. Dennis was an outstanding instructor. He was patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic about scuba diving, and he has a great sense of humor! – All the things I look for in an instructor. I am looking forward to working with Dennis in the future as I work toward becoming a Dive Master. After working with Dennis I cannot imagine working with a different diving instructor because Dennis set the bar very high as an instructor and he proved to be an awesome person too!My husband and I selected great scuba diving equipment at the shop. We both purchased a mask, fins, snorkel, diving boots and a suite. The quality of the products we purchased is great and the shop had good selection of various diving products. The shop does a great job taking care of their students, as soon as we walked in we knew we were in good hands. Fernando helped us select products best fitted for us and Jeff made the signing up process go very smoothly. The shop organizes various diving trips across the country throughout the year for their students which makes it very convenient to go diving. They even go on shark diving excursions! The best part of this scuba shop is that your association with them does not need to end once you complete your course, they have created a family setting with their staff members and they include all of their students in their scuba diving adventures! If you are looking for great instruction and to be part of scuba diving circle of friends the Scuba Shop is the perfect place for this.My husband and I are looking forward to working with Dennis in the future and to continue being affiliated with the Scuba Shop. Thank you for great experience becoming open water certified!!Anabela
Great instructors, worked around our schedule. Made sure we were comfortable.
I LOVE this place!! So much fun!! Great, knowledgable, staff.
Nestled inside aqua tots, great facility, knowledgeable dive instructors and a good variety of gear! Catch their semi annual sale of rental gear for a great deal on gently used gear.

These guys are first-rate, especially Steve! Anytime you have a question or need some gear or even some gear serviced they are the ones to go to! I will be continuing my Scuba certs with them and look forward to hanging out at the lake.
These guys are first rate, you cannot go wrong. Will give you the straight story and bend over backwards to help you out in anyway they can.
Great shop! Steve is super helpful
Great place to learn about SCUBA. GREAT shop and teaching staff.
Needed a refresher course - these guys were great! Cynthia was patient with me and went through the course at my pace, exactly what I needed.
Just finished the Open Water swim class with Mike. Cant say enough good things - he was very knowledgeable, patient (even with our 13 year old son) and kept the class on track so we completed the class promptly.
Found all my snorkeling needs in this one store. Nice staff
Excellent shop! Quality gear. Friendly knowledgeable instructors!
This is actually aqua tots where my son take swimming lessons they do have a scuba shop there but most people are there to take their kids for swimming lessons
Everyone there is awesome. Everyone should go here.
