You cannot park where the dock is, but there are plenty of spots across the street. There are a couple good restaurant's waiting for you when you get off the boat. They being your tanks and load them for you. I also bought my new aqualung dive computer there. They do tend to overcrowd the boat in my opinion and for such a long ride, but they are very accommodating.

Top-notch-first-class-awesomeness! Son became certified with…read morethese folks & we've done 2 charter dives with them. It's been 16 years for me & they really put me at ease getting back into the water. Amazing (REALLY AMAZING) staff, dive masters, boat captains....all of it is just great. Safety is their paramount mission, they are thorough, and extremely attentive to customers. The shop & boats are clean and equipment is clean/well maintained. A few of our favs: Peyton Whisnant & Michael P "MP" dive masters - Summer is amazing too (watched her work with a group on one of our charters). All the boat captains are just fab - please please tip these folks on your next charter! As a side note; we had to wait 15 min for our ride at the end of a charter & these folks SCOUR & clean the boats after each charter. I watched them work and was amazed (we don't always see the extra work before & after we show up-dive-& leave)! Additionally, I had some small issues in the water on one charter & Mike (boat captain) was SERIOUSLY awesome!!! Charter tips: 1) they have bottled water onboard, so don't lug your own unless you're picky 2) beginners or even 'beg-novice' - ASK FOR A FIVE MASTER on your charter, it's not too much to have that extra security/safety & overall guidance. I've been SO grateful I did it these past few dives & until I feel like I'm 'really' comfortable (5+ dives under the belt) I'll keep adding the dive master!!! 3) Liberty & Stone Tug are great for beginners - Liberty due to depth & Stone Tug for visibility....Liberty usually has less visibility near the surface but is a shorter boat ride! Per Dive Instr., Stone Tug & Hyde he said were the most 'relaxing' (best visibility, easy decent/ascent, great wrecks, average depth/not too deep for beginners. 4) bring a washcloth you can toss, great to wipe your face with between/after dives 5) I loved having my small waterproof bag with a towel & my valuables inside. Really worth it to get one of these & a small one will fit under the bench with your gear.

An amazing collection of shark teeth plus all the gear you could need (and want). Dive day - meet at the dock. Concierge service getting our gear to the boat. LOVED the all girl crew! Capable, assertive, knowledgeable - I felt secure in their hands. Dive was epic!!! Crew explained how to get off and on the boat to begin and end the dive. Guidelines were given and a wreck reel used so we were always on the dive site. SO much to see! This experience was a highlight of our trip to SC!

This place is awesome. They called me a few times to get information and explained to me where we'd be diving, what things I could expect to see, etc. it was extremely helpful and they had great communication the whole time leading up to the dive. I woke up late and scrambled to get to the dive on time and they were so understanding! The weather was beautiful and the dive was beyond amazing! We went to the Hyde shipwreck and saw barracuda, grouper, sand tiger sharks, and so much more. It was one of the best dives I've done. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to dive in the area. They were friendly, professional, and fun. I had the best time!

This review is based purely on customer service and not on a dive experience…read more Hubby booked a dive trip for 2 and unfortunately we had to cancel. We gave almost 2 weeks notice of cancellation and they said that they already charged our credit card $50 per person and that due to our cancellation, they would give us the $100 in store credit. Are you kidding me? Hubbie called them back and they had to call us back after talking to an owner. We finally received our refund after the owner approved it. By the way, this is their posted cancellation policy: "Cancellations less than 4 days before a single day trip are subject to the full charge if your spot can not be filled" Hopefully their clients will write some reviews of their dive experiences and drown this 2 star review in a sea of 5 star reviews!

Overall everyone was very friendly but the folks at Scuba Now took a little extra time to educate me on the dives in the area that would be of interest to me and the current conditions so I knew the best day to go. This was really cool for someone who doesn't know the area and that little bit of extra service is why I chose to go with them. I went on two drive trips and both went great, the folks at the shop were friendly and helpful to the out of towner with virtually no gear. The crew on the boat (Ron, Pat & Dave) were awesome. Offered tons of info on the area operated a fun and friendly boat while still making sure we were safe. I've gone to a lot of places I didn't know and booked dives. It can be challenging to know who to trust for the best sites and conditions and who needs to fill a boat for the day. A+ experience thanks everyone.

This one was a refreshing break from mini golf and arcades and fun for both kids and adults. We had a pretty large group and some did the zip line course and some braved the adventure park (aka ropes course). We had lots and lots of fun, overcame some anxiety, and had a few sore muscles to show off our achievements. I also owe a big shout out to George, who was amazingly patient with my crew and helped coordinate the outing so that we all started/finished around the same times. I also heard from the kids that their guides were fantastic. They were especially impressed that they remembered every single person's name for an event that lasts only a few hours.

For the Zipline tour, we had Jesse, Margaret, and Lacey as our guides and all of them were great! Jesse is very fun and funny, Margaret is super sweet, and Lacey had amazing knowledge on fun facts throughout the tour! The zip lines were very fun, and all three guides took every measure to ensure our safety, creating a good sense of trust. We all felt like a group of friends by the end of our tour. They also take photos at the beginning, middle, and end of the tour with specific spots for photo ops which I truly appreciate! (You do have to pay for the photos.) I will absolutely recommend The Swamp Park to friends and family! We plan to come back and try the ATV tour next!
