My husband and I decided to get OW certified and wanted to shop around LV area to get a feel for the vibe in each dive shop. Our first stop was 3rd Reef. We must've spent nearly 2hrs in the shop that day talking to everyone. John and Cash, working in the shop that day, were extremely pleasant and answered all of our questions, concerns and shared their diving experiences. Best of all-the owner, Larry, stopped to chat with us and tell us some amazing diving stories. We had seen and heard enough! No need to check anywhere else...we knew this was the shop for us. Signed up that day and started our journey. We couldn't be happier with our experience. Every dive instructor we encountered during our pool dives and OW dives were friendly and eager to help. Our assigned dive instructor, Brad De Geus, was AMAZING! His style of teaching is warm and encouraging, never made us feel embarrassed for not getting our safety skills right the first 5 times lol. John offered his friendship as well as his expertise during our diving. He is generous with his time and gives individual attention to every student. He even baked me cupcakes on our last OW dive day as it fell on my birthday! WOW!! Our experience with him and the rest of the team has convinced us we will be taking the advanced course and looking forward to being part of an amazing group of people. I can't recommend this dive shop and John enough! Thanks 3rd Reef! read more

3rd Reef Divers - New BC, octo reg with bag, and mask - Scuba Diving Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Incredible instructors, attitude, and competence. I had an issue getting my Open Water cert with another dive shop, and 3rd Reef worked with me to get it completed. Mitch and Larry at the shop are great at what they do, and they're extremely knowledgeable. Mitch ran my classroom and pool sessions, and Andre ran my open water dives. Both patient and great teachers. The shop itself can be pricey for buying gear, doing VIPS, valve rebuilding, etc., but for certifications they are fantastic. read more

3rd Reef Divers - Open water dives at Placer Cove. Fun spot and lots to see! - Scuba Diving Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

I really can't say enough good things. I have taken 4 courses with 3 Separate instructors. Jeff, Tish, and Larry. All of them are fantastic, knowledgeable, and fun. but it doesn't scratch the surface I have also had a few fun dives with them and I signed up for even more. Larry is a true OG in this Diving world and he will help even a seasoned diver get back on track if you ask him. Everyone at the shop absolutely loves what they do, you can see it on the dive days when its time to get to the water. When I needed some gear last min they had a few options to choose from and helped me get the best bang for my buck. When you are with them its not like most shops where you can feel the next pitch to buy more. they will tell you if you gear is good for the purpose and help you work it into your dives so you can be capable of using it instead of buying something new to cover up for a lack of skill. And boy is this shop active. If you are coming in to get a refill or about to get some new gear, there is always things happening here and it has a energy to it that just puts a smile on your face. Or maybe that's just Buddy. I have seen brand new never dove before folks come in and saw them all geared up and doing all the things a few weeks later when I'm out on my own dives with the shop. they gush about how much hey are excited and confident in what they have been taught. Try it out. and ask about the lures on the wall at the repair desk. read more

As dive shops go this place is very nice. I like the layout. Every time we go there we are greeted with a smile. Friendly and knowledgeable. They have a large selection to choose from. Quality equipment more bang for your buck. read more

Phenomenal folks. Our family of 6 is taking scuba diving lessons with them. Their team has been so patient with our kids (and with this overly nervous dad). It takes a lot to trust someone with your kids' lives 30 feet underwater. Taysia, Brad, and Zach have been friendly and knowledgeable in the pools and at the lake. Larry, Mary, and Kat have been excellent in the classroom and at the shop. Gear is always clean and in great shape. Scuba is a dangerous enough activity that you need people who genuinely care about their customers and love what they do. Glad we found them. 10/10. read more

In July I took both my teenage sons to get NAUI certified here at 3rd Reef. My brother and I joined in with them after, for Nitrox certification. This shop came highly recommended by several coworkers. The staff here are amazing! Very kind, friendly, patient and professional. From Page at the register, Tashia's advice on equipment sales, and of course the exceptional instruction my boys received from Larry, Kenny, Jeff, Andre and others. I can't recommend this any higher! Go to 3rd Reef for your Vegas scuba training and equipment needs! read more

I learned of 3rd reef when my partner got me the open water diving course for Christmas. We just completed our open water diving certification and I can say, I feel confident and comfortable with what I learned. Tay was so helpful with picking out the gear needed and getting fitted. Larry is hilarious and so thorough, makes you feel comfortable with asking any questions or concerns. We can't wait to continue with our buoyancy class and eventually advanced open water. read more

Thank you Larry! I had the best experience at 3rd reef. I work for the local fire department and we were conducting a swift water training that required us to use wet suits. It was a holiday weekend and Larry opened the store up and came in on his day off to get me fitted! Larry was very helpful and knowledgeable. His shop is clean and very welcoming. Thanks again from the clark county fire department Heavy Rescue team read more

WOW! What a difference. I started my scuba certification journey with a horrible dive instructor at another place. I walked into 3rd Reef and immediately noticed the difference. Larry the owner is amazing!! I was able to complete my certification with 3rd Reef. His equipment is high quality, clean, organized and reliable and best of all you got some top tier instructors. I felt so much more comfortable. Larry and his team are all very nice. They don't have that arrogant attitude like some of the other shops in town. I can't wait to join the dive club and travel with the team at 3rd Reef. This is the only place I would recommend for anyone looking for scuba certifications and equipment. read more

Larry is a lifesaver!! Recently, I went cliff jumping on the Colorado River.. long story short my gopro ended up at the bottom of the river. I tried free diving myself to retrieve it but couldn't even reach the bottom of the river. I pretty much gave up all hope of recovering it (& my videos which were on it), but that day, I called a local scuba diving company to see if they could help.. they did, they told me of a person named Larry that they said is the best free diver around and frequents the Colorado River. I called Larry right away and he told me he may be there in the next few days. The next morning, I received a call, it was Larry.. and he already retrieved my gopro!! It was laying at a depth of about 25 feet, in murky water, a place I never would have reached alone. Thanks to him I have my gopro and all my videos back after I was sure I'd never see it again :) thank you!!! read more

Outstanding dive shop in the middle of the desert! Stopped by a year ago, met Larry and we just keep going back. We have purchased gear, received our Nitrox cert and always been treated like family! Ken worked with us on new regulators and BCD's, so patient and knowledgeable. Taysia is also super helpful. Looking forward to some of the trips they are sponsoring, truly creating a community for divers right here in Henderson! read more

As somebody who doesn't know anything about scuba gear or equipment, you won't feel intimidated coming here. Larry and his staff provide a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere and are readily available to assist you if you have any questions. He helped me find the right fit for my wet suit rental and helped me to understand how it works. I rented a wet suit for the weekend for what I feel is a fair price. I would be definitely comfortable returning here for any scuba-diving questions, classes, or equipment needs. Great experience! read more

3rd Reef Divers - Scuba Diving Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Best dive shop experience yet. I'd just purchased a regulator set 1st and 2 2nd stages. After a pool test diving as deep as 8 feet I heard squeaking noise after a deep breath from my primary regulator. I switched to the secondary and heard a popping noise with each inhale. I did not feel comfortable trusting this gear to my children so I took the regulator set to 3rd Reef Divers. Immediately I was greeted like a known friend. I produced my regulators, expressed concerns, and described the noises I heard. The very next day after work i get a call from the owner. He personally took interest in my equipment. I went to his shop. The owner invited me behind the counter to his work shop, where he began to show and explain in explicit detail about why the regulators were making the noises I experienced. The regulators were repaired. The cost of service was priced much lower than I anticipated. I received a Hands on demonstration about my equipment. Master Instructor level equipment maintenance. 3rd Reef Divers truly is a "Divers Helping Divers" experience for me. I solely trust my equipment to 3rd Reef SCUBA shop. I trust their experience. I trust their advice. I trust their repairs. Thank you 3rd Reef dive shop. I am now an eternal and exclusive customer Sincerely, The Customer with the squeaking regulators. read more

This place is amazing. The customer service is 1st class. Everyone is personable knowledgeable and beyond friendly. The product selection is great for a new shop and told that it's still growing.. I truely recommend it to everyone. read more

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good local dive shop. I went to a few stores but the staff at 3rd Reef were very helpful and they stock a great selection of gear in store. I highly recommend this shop for any of your diving needs. Thanks to all of the the crew at 3rd Reef, Larry, Taysia, Blake, and Kenny. read more

I found 3rd Reef through the Scubapro website and very happy I did! I was looking to get my dive computer repaired but it was going to take time since Scubapro is backed up. Kenny was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and with his information I decided to buy a new dive computer. I was also in the market for a new underwater camera and they had one in stock plus I'd rather support local small businesses than buy it on the internet whenever possible. 3rd Reef has earned my business!! read more

This place is so nice the staff is amazing and the owner is Larry is great. I had a really bad experience with a different Dive Shop (Gr8Dive). 3RD Reef really helped me when I needed it most. They filled my tanks after the last shop couldn't fill them up all the way, and they even let me borrow a flashlight for my night dive. I will definitely be coming back to this shop more often. Can't say enough on how great this shop is. Thank you guys! And thank you Larry! read more
