History

Established in 1995.

A little history…

What is dddive? And where does it come from?

Padi 5 star dive center ddive shop took it’s name from a U.S. Navy call tag Dive! Dive!

This was one of the last things the captain of the submarine would say after the hatches have been closed, and the submarine was ready for descent… Hence… Dive! Dive! Dive!

Ddidve Shop history started in Oct. 1995, when then owner Jerry Zak decided to open the location in Glenview, IL, and the preparation began to open the first bilingual English/​Polish dive center in the world. It took 3 months to get the store ready with professional equipment to operate the location in the most professional way.

Year 2003 was a new wave for our shop, ownership changed hands. New owner dddive Shop Instructor and friend Ralph Naruszewicz took over the dddive Helm.

Trips have reached all the continents of the world. Some of the most memorable are Bikini Atoll, Galapagos, Palau, Fiji, Indonesia. Diving with you last 20 years.
