Austin’s Diving Center

The salesman took his time to insure that my wife and I had a comfortable fitting snorkel gear. The price was right and a very nice experience.

These guys hooked it up! Not only did they have everything I needed at the best prices, but they were knowledgable, friendly and gave me an even bigger Discount at checkout. What more could you ask for!!! I will definitely go back, again and again! Thanks guys!

Austin Dive Shop — for any diving needs go into their store and they friendly staff will assist you and direct in the event that you need a dive instructor to filling your tanks. Have been in the same location for over 20yrs. So remember for diving needs «AUSTIN DIVE SHOP »

I’ve been going to Austin since it was called «Florida Frogman» back in the 50’s!
Yes I’m old! I have bought every piece of dive gear I’ve owned over the years from Austin’s. I’ll never go anywhere else. Austin’s is not a department store or big box store. Just a great dive shop with top of the line gear at the right price and a friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. I’ve known Lance, Tom and most of the staff at Austin’s for a lot of years. They are great guys who run a family business that takes care of their customers.

Great service! Ordered something through Amazon, realized they carried something else I needed so called to add to order. Not only did they hook me up with a great price for both items but Doug’s service was excellent. Will definitely order all my diving needs through Austins Diving center. A+++ work guys.

I came in here with my dad not knowing what to buy at all for my basic open water, but I was going on to advanced and further on. The employees here are great and I would come back for everything else I need! Thanks guys

We took a watch to Austin’s that we hadn’t purchased from there. Dan went above and beyond to help us. He took a part from his own watch (from his arm!!) to repair our watch! He stayed after closing and insisted that we let him fix our watch back to original factory condition.
The service that we got at Austin’s is better than we would hope to have and we certainly recommend this business. What a great customer service experience!

The team@Austin’s Dive Center is awesome. Super friendly, great communication, great prices. meets all the criteria for a great business. Whether shopping local, or over the internet, these guys can’t be beat.
With all due respect to my local dive shop here in NYC, which has always been great. I w i s h I could walk in & shop at Austin’s Dive Center when needed. Thank you Doug & Team!

Austin’s is most definitely the premier dive shop in Miami-​Dade county. They have the best gear, friendly/​informative staff and fair prices.

I was born to be a mermaid. It’s true — my inner Ariel is half the reason I live in South Florida. And after a recent Keys adventure that re-​awakened my infatuation with all things wet and wonderful, I knew I needed to spend more time in the big blue.
And as far as water sports go, swimming with the fishes (of the still breathing sort) is by far my favorite pastime. Sadly, I’ve always had a hell of an issue with mask fittings. Water streams in, the visor fogs up and I’m forced to make frequent stops to adjust. PAIN. IN. THE. ASS.
So in order to spend more time snorkeling, I knew I needed a mask of my own. Fellow Unilocaler Chris C. steered me towards Austin’s, and I’m damn grateful he did.
Honestly, I can’t recall a time I’ve encountered better service in Miami. Tended to by Victor, I was treated like customer royalty. He spent an extended period of time walking me through the different mask and snorkel options, and offered complete honesty about my choices. No salesy nonsense, no pushing the big ticket items — no pressure whatsoever. And best of all — he said I could test my mask in a pool and bring it back if it wasn’t perfect. HALLELUJAH!
Plus, the prices were totally reasonable, and much less than I expected — always a welcome surprise.
Turned out, my mask was absolute perfection. No more water leaks or foggy vision. Just clear blue brilliance and a clear line of vision on my fishy friends.
I will frequent Austin’s for any and all underwater needs, from now until forever. You should, too.

Got all my Dive gear from Austins and the place has Reasonable prices for dive gear, spear fishing gear and snorkeling. Great place, Awesome service, and the guys behind the counter realy help.

Was suckered into this place by fellow trusted Unilocalers… and couldn’t have been more pleased! :)
Big diving flag painted on the outside… cannot miss the place. Small parking lot but it’s never too crowded, it seems.
Walked in… and it’s packed with diving goodies! Masks on the left with snorkels and fins… bags on the left too by the window. Suits and BCDs on the right. Fishing gear and what nots at the back by the cashiers.
Staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable. As much as I wanted/​needed to get a snorkel and a mask. Dennis came up and was honest about the different types of snorkels they carry…“this is good cause., that is for someone who…, if you prefer this…, this two brands are similar cause they use the same technology and design…” He is an extremely friendly, knowledgable and friendly guy. In the end, I got a pink snorkel to match my fins. The mask that he recommended would have matched my snorkel and fins… except it was not in stock. The kind man told me he would ship it to me to NY for free… and at the best price! (LeisurePro in NYC charges way more… he had this look of shock when I told him how much I spent on the fins! LOL) I left my number with him and didn’t think much about it.
Guess what?
4 days later in NYC… I get a voicemaill from a 305 number and it’s Dennis informing me that the pink masks were in stock at the store and if I still wanted them.
:)
And THAT“s what I call customer service!
Tip-​bits:
Ask qns! To the staff or fellow customers! :)

I been coming here for years and yes it’s a small Dive Shop, but wow do they have everything you need. Their prices are not the best, but they have great service and the staff is real professional. Hands down the best Dive Shop in Miami.

This has been my dive shop as long as I can remember. It’s a smaller store, but what they miss is size they make up in quality.
I don’t me quality of their merchandise (which is very impressive) I mean quality of the people.
The people there are divers, they understand some gear needs to be tested. The mask I bought, I wasn’t sure about.
They told me take it home, test it in the pool, and if it wasn’t right bring it back. Tell me one chain store that would have done that.

Snniiifffff …
Aaahhh, the smell of neoprene!
A small shop crammed full of cool gear with true dive freaks there to serve you.
That’s Austins.
I got SCUBA certified when I was 16 through this dive shop. I’ve been going here ever since.
It is not a big place, so it’s not the amazing selection that will hook you. It is the knowledgeable service. They are going to talk to you and show you which mask is the best for you. And no, it won’t be the most expensive one; it will be the one that fits your face. Have a problem with your BC? Think you need a pair of snorkeling fins and a pair of diving fins or do think you’d be happy with one pair of in-​betweens?
Any question, they have the answer.
They also have my repeat business.
