Our son just completed the junior certification program at Central Oregon Diving. His instructor was Jonathan and it went so well. We are so incredibly happy with the level of service and the training he received! They were required to learn the academic portion then has training in a pool then all went to cultus. Every staff involved was kind welcoming and communicative! We are going back for the advanced course in September! read more

I'm a producer for Shark Week on Discovery Channel, and I was in a pinch having one of our talent in Bend the days leading up to him coming on the show. He'd never scuba dived before and was about to get in the water with apex predators, so we needed him to be comfortable in the water. Sarah chalke and the team at COD, went out of their way to help us. We had to change days and dates several times,and they were always happy to help us. Our guy ended up crushing it on his trip and we owe so much of that to the training and preparation from COD. Thanks so much Sarah! read more

Absolutely fantastic dive shop. Needed help finding the right supplies to fix a popped seam in my wetsuit. Not only did they reply in minutes, they sent pics of the options available. Super friendly. Awesome place. Couldn't recommend more. read more

We put our 12 year old through the youth dive camp this summer. He absolutely loved diving with Jonathan. We felt he was safe and in great hands. We are excited to have him diving with us now. I was also certified through CO diving myself quite a few years back. Highly recommend. read more

I met Sarah Clark today, owner of Central Oregon Diving. You ask..."A dive shop in Central Oregon"? Fact is, she and her parents have been making it happen and serving the Scuba community here for over 13 year. 'Serving' would be an understatement. You've got to be shrewd when you own a diving business in the High Desert. She's bright, thoughtful, witty, and out-of-the-box...smart! Example: December 9th. She's hosting an OPEN HOUSE featuring Brian O'Connor; author of, IN REPOSE - Diving on the USS Arizona with the National Park Service. Special book signing with end of the year pricing and giveaways. Come support the diving community and Veterans in Remembrance of Pearl Harbor! read more

I was referred to Central Oregon Diving by my dive shop in Portland because they have such a good reputation in the industry. I was looking for some help with equipment for open water swimming in the Bend area. even though they knew I was a once in awhile client at best they were so very helpful to me. They spent a lot of time going through options on equipment as well as places i might want to check out. These guys were great! I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. read more

My wife and I just finished our Padi Open Water Scuba Certification referral class with Jonathon and it was phenomenal! Everyone at the dive shop is super friendly and will help you individually if you need it. We bought all our gear from them and they will help you with sizing and get you the exact equipment you'll need. Best of all... it's really fun and you'll know you were trained right. read more

What a great dive shop, even though it is a little bit hard to find as it is set back away from the main road. When I first walked in, I instantly felt like they were all about diving!! Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable about the dive equipment they sell. If you want a a good education about buying scuba gear, this is the place to come with NO PRESSURE!!! Best customer service by far! read more
