History

Established in 2004.

We started Scuba Shoppe at the start of the recession. (Not the best time to start a luxury sports business!!) Our focus was on education. We saw a need in the market for high quality, low class size education and we filled it.

Our reputation and referral business allowed us to grow every year. In 2011, we opened our first retail location (small tiny spot) and in 2013, we grew out of it and into our current location. We now have a 1000 sq ft showroom, dedicated repair facility and rental department.

History? We look towards the future. We are building a scuba empire… with future plans of expansion with our education, facilities and travel programs.

Business Owner

We care about each diver as an individual… so you’ll never hear us touting the «thousands served» mantra. We want YOU to become a diver, so we teach small classes and focus on each individual, instead of trying to hit some major number per year.

Teaching is our passion and scuba the portal. Bringing excellence in education to the scuba world, we want our students to be safe, confident and excited scuba divers so we strive to make their first experience underwater amazing.

Every day we focus on being the best scuba instruction program in the Northwest… enabling our divers to dive safely and comfortably. We teach in the Puget Sound, and the Tropics, on one of our group trips to palm tree laden beaches worldwide.

Come see the difference a SMALL class makes, with top quality, new gear in our rental department and a caring instructor.

You’re not just a certification number… you’re our friend… and our friends will build our future.
