As we were walking in to Dive Tech Scuba Lessons & Gear to get a new snorkel mask for my husband he says to me, «I’m not going to get anything crazy in here». My husband looooves gear! So I rolled my eyes and said okay.
As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed by Mendel. He quickly found out what we were after and took us to a wall of masks. He then assisted my husband in selecting the perfect mask. He answered all of our questions and gave excellent recommendations. They have varying price points and I didn’t feel any pressure to be upsold.
Oh, and yes my husband bought the most expensive mask they had on the wall. So my eye rolling was justified. But on the upside the price was super reasonable and not a crazy amount.
Mendel also took a lot of time explaining the process for SCUBA certification. We may do this in the future and I would definitely be doing it here. They have their own pool on site and keep the classes small for more individualized attention.
So if you are looking for SCUBA or snorkel gear this should be your place.

I have driven by this place a million times, and I never had the occasion to go in until now. I am heading to Florida for vacation, and I needed a new snorkel mask.
Upon walking in we were immediately greeted and were shown to the snorkel masks. The guy working there did a good job of explaining the products, and we found one that fit really well. I thought the prices were totally reasonable.
The offer scuba lessons and have a pool on site to facilitate these. They also offer diving trips to a bunch of different exotic locations. Thus far I limit myself to snorkelling, but now I am strongly considering going back for the scuba lessons.

Ed is a very technical business owner who is very knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend this shop it has a treasure trove of diving equipment. They also have a indoor pool for training courses.

Excellent dive shop. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my diving needs.

Fantastic dive shop and dive training center. Houston is lucky to have many dive shops (and I’ve been certified and refreshed at two other local places), but the two of us who went really enjoyed this facility at a recent dive refresher class.
For starters, we had a great instructor who was calm and thorough. Most dive masters are slightly Zen, and he fit right into that crowd. He was encouraging and positive but also made sure we really understood and had the skills before he moved on to the next step. Yes, we are certified and have a few dozen dives to our names, but both of us have had big gaps of time since we last had the gear on. Many things were just like riding a bike, but it’s always the little details (which can be critical) that you need to update on.
Their pool is also a clever design, with the ability to raise and lower the «floor», which is essentially a giant trampoline on a boat lift. That means you can do the basics in 4 feet (while the instructor gets to know your comfort level), and then lower it down to 12 feet to at least have a good amount of water over your head while you practice.
We felt like this place wanted us to learn rather than just going through the motions to take our credit card swipe. We got our money’s worth and more, and will be back to replace some old gear and ponder stepping up to some shiney new stuff.
How has this place not received a review yet? Oh well, my pleasure to be the first to recommend them. If you’re on the fence about getting certified, or need to get back up to speed like we did, stop by.
FYI their parking lot entrace is off Cornish which you can reach from TC Jester or Durham. No direct access from the I-​10 feeder road even though they sit right on it (and are highly visible).
