Dean is awesome could not have had a better experience. They make everything as simple a possible and helped a few people work past their anxiety of jumping in.

New place after 20 something years

Brent has been doing it right for the last 20 years. If you're looking for an honest opinion, he is your man. He is compelled to tell the truth, a great trait for someone who sells scuba equipment. This dive shop is well equipped, and supplies nitrox and air fills here in Ft Myers. Lastly, Brent has even dropped off my tanks at work for me when he was running behind. What amazing dedication to service. For your scuba dive needs see Brent at Dean's Dive Center in Ft Myers. Can you tell I dropped a lot of meta tags here for ya Brent? ;-) Scuba Dive Ft Myers

Very fond of Pete's Diving Center in Fort Myers, at the West End of Colonial Blvd…read more I began looking in for some minor equipment needs ( I have been an instructor myself since 1987 ) but I enjoy the shopping experience. Pete is a very accomplished and delightful manager of the operation and dive instructor. PROS: 1. Strong emphasis on safety for his divers, absolutely the highest order of instruction for Scuba. 2. Shows sincere interest in being helpful to new students who need an expert's guidance. 3. Offers continuing education for divers who wish to become more proficient, such as Rescue Diver, Divemaster, and many specialty classes - a big plus. 4. Selection of equipment for divers covers everything from a new mask to various sizes of Scuba tanks. 5. Air for filling tanks. The tanks are filled by Pete or a professional, especially critical for divers using "mixed gas" such as blends of nitrox. 6. Pete offers trips for divers especially to Florida's East coast where visibility in the open water greatly exceeds Gulf of Mexico visibility. Offers trips to the Caribbean, a big plus. VALUE: I'm happy to recommend Pete's as a perfect value as a starting off place to introduce Scuba to new divers as well as experienced divers looking for their next five trip, class or equipment. It's the only Dive Center I recommend.

Great deals and very welcoming! Highly recommend their services, great people. Go here if you want…read moreto get into diving!

While visiting my brother and his family in Tampa I decided to try this dive shop for giggles since…read morehaven't been in forever and last times in Cairns (Great Barrier) and Maui (North Shore) were so choppy it was short and not visually that fun... muddy shark infested water... uhh nope. So stopped by here with their convenient and extensive choices for timing and duration of excursions .. if you just want to be out on the water to feel the breeze and not do much... totally worth the fees to have a boat for a day and have a meal and just chill swim and fish. Oh yeah... another thing I loved being able to go around saying "go get your ticket to BELOW ME (boat name)!" That humor is totally the vibe of the instructor and owner Joe and his hilarious wife Stephanie. They are so cute as they banter and give each other total grief and giggles... such entertainment!!! Love them! #CouplesGoals P.S. Checkout the Mexican place next door. Super convenient place for closing out the day.

The quality of people really shines when they willingly step up to help others. Joe and the group…read morefrom Gaspar's were returning from a trip when they saw our pontoon having engine trouble. Without hesitation, they tossed a line and expertly towed us back - right into our lift at our dock! This isn't a review of a dive trip; it's a review about good folks doing good for others. These are the kind of people we all should seek out for professional services.

I've easily been in 15-20 different dive shops this year alone and this one is absolutely the worst! I truly understand that dive shops are going out of business as fast as they open. I don't appreciate being overpromised by a sub par shop that will charge you for looking through there window! I took a brand new out of the box steel tank in to be filled for the first time and it cost almost $200 the tank had to be visually inspected, then he said it had to be cleaned and the valve needed to be replaced because he didn't think it would seal so I had to purchase one of his! (Totally a joke) I took another tank in for a quick fill. I was told it couldn't be filled without having a visual inspection done I said no problem. Then I was told the "O" rings had to be replaced because they weren't suitable for nitrox (mind you I had this take filled sometimes as much as twice a month with being an issue. They tank has 14 month left before needed to be hydrod and the last visual was done June 2 of this year( I was told it had to be done again by LAW) I called the next day to see if the tank was done and was going a rash of lies and hung up on. I will to the store and demanded my tank and my money back $100 ( for a full) ! I was refunded all be me credit card fee which he says he's entitled to. ( If services weren't rendered I expected a full refund) I went to the car to get my phone to call 911 and he threw my Credit card and tank out the door! Cops came I was asked not to come back per the shop owner. Which I never will!!! And I left WATCH YOURSELF YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. I didn't pay attention to the other review and learned the hard way!

This is our hometown dive shop. We've found them to be honest and fair. They sell gear and…read moreequipment, provide training (NAUI), service equipment and provide air fills. We were informed of upcoming sales prior to our equipment investments and they allowed us to try items before buying them to help us make decisions. They have an indoor pool and offered more than once for us to get in and check things out, which was very appreciated. There is a no cash return policy clearly stated at the register, which simply means that if something isn't right they will exchange the item or, if necessary, give store credit. We haven't needed to do either but are very comfortable with their policy. When considering training, decide if you would like to take the traditional group class or would like to pay a bit more for private training. My husband did his Open Water training here. Following that, we both took the Nitrox class with Charlie. We both agreed that Charlie explained information well, was thorough and kept the class moving forward at a good pace.

We have been diving for 20 years but had never purchased dive gear. We have been diving more…read morefrequently the past 5 or so years and so we decided to finally buy BCS and regs. We were vacationing im FL and stopped in to ScubaQuest to see what they had in their shop. Brandon greeted us and was super helpful showing us the travel BCs they had and the pros and cons of each. We decided on the Oceanic Biolites due to their compact size and Brandon had both of the ones we wanted in stock. They were offering a couple of different package deals with BC, regulator, etc. Brandon went over each with us and explained the differences. We settled on the Aqualung due to the lifetime parts guarantee. The dive shop has a pool on site but it was being renovated. Brandon told us that typically customers can try out all gear in the pool before buying it. We didn't get to try out our new gear but Brandon assured us that if we had any issues, he'd help us out. We really liked this shop and would definitely go back in the future.
