Marina Dive

Marina Dive is a new dive shop and course provider in Sheung Wan, that is pleasingly punching above its weight. Started by some of the more experienced divers in HK, who already had a wealth of experience from other dive operators, they (in my opinion) are a welcome addition to the diving fraternity.
I don’t know a great deal about their courses, and would probably stick to the better known companies in HK. As far as I know they run «freelance» style courses, and buy places onto boats, rather than have their own boats.
However, what i like the most is the shop. Despite the shop being smaller than their bigger counterparts in Wan Chai, they are far tidier than the shops in TST. Marina Dive have a managed to stock it well, yet still display the products to their best, making it a comfortable experience for shoppers, so you don’t have to literally climb over cardboard boxes of stock to get to the display racks.
The shop staff are all divers, so know their mask straps from their line cutters, and are happy to give plenty of advice. They can get busy, so if you do need help, it may be a long wait as the Mainlander in front of your tries on every pink item in the shop so they match. If you need something specific, or advice, you can always take a diving buddy along with you to help.
Always remember to ask for a discount, as the prices displayed are rarely the actual prices. You’ll usually be able to get 10−15% off.
