I absolutely love this Dive Shop! Everyone on the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful with all your needs. I thoroughly enjoyed my Open Water training with Tim & Jim because they made everything so relatable so everyone could grasp all the important info. Not only that, but we also met the other dive shop staff while we were completing our Open Water dives at Mammoth Lake and I feel as if I've entered into a whole new world of good friends who share the same interests. I highly recommend Divetech to anyone who is looking for a great Dive Shop or is considering giving this scuba thing a try... You'll never regret opening the doors to this exciting underwater world and you'll have great New friends here to share your experiences with It's never too late! I've wanted to do this since I was 14 and I'm 56 now! read more

Dive Tech Scuba Lessons & Gear - Diving in Mammoth Lake - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Houston, Texas

Dive tech team is awesome. Everyone is. very welcoming. So my child's instructor is Joshua. Even though my child is just 5 years old, He takes time every week to greet her and get an update on how school is going and how her week is going before starting class. In doing that, he shows her that she is important to him . It gives her trust in him and more confidence in herself. Great job Joshua !!! read more

I had such a fantastic experience with Divetech getting my Open Water Diver certification- it's just the start of a wonderful friendship really! I have a crazy work schedule and Rick was able to accommodate everything I needed through private lessons. Training was comprehensive, safe, and FUN. Looking forward to future dive trips with them and maybe even further certifications! read more

Fantastic experience! We had a full class and 4 dive professionals to guide us along. Great communication from class purchase until the very end. Everything is well-organized. Register for the class, complete the online course (takes about 12 hours), then the face-to-face classes - classroom, pool, classroom, pool, 2 open water days. Purchased the required gear at Divetech and it was simple; Rick guided me through each piece of gear making sure it fit properly. Love all the gear I purchased! I think what impressed me the most about them is the genuine love of scuba diving. They love diving and it shows! Rick, Matt, Faustyn and Ben, thanks for such an amazing experience! (Already booked my next class with Divetech - Altitude Diving!) read more

I recently got my open water scuba certification from here. Absolutely great experience! All the staff is awesome, helpful and passionate! The times were great for after work: 2 days in the classroom, 2 days in the pool, and 2 weekend days in open water lake. I felt safe and cared for. 100% recommend! read more

Yelp played a big part in my decision to use this shop, so I'm going to pay it forward. I cannot recommend Dive Tech enough! I called a few dive shops that were rated highly on Google, but landed on Dive Tech after speaking with Ed over the phone. He was professional, knowledgeable, and more than willing to answer all of my newbie questions. We signed up the same day and started classes the following week with Tim. The course material is actually very interesting and easy to complete. Like other reviews mention, there are 2 classroom sessions, 2 pool sessions, and 2 open water dives (Mammoth Lake). The staff is simply amazing. Tim was our instructor with Katie and Paul joining. Every single class was an absolute joy. You will "graduate" your class as an educated, capable diver. But the best part for me was the new friends I made. The staff is passionate about this sport and sharing that passion with others. The shop also organizes trips, which I already signed up for! I feel incredibly grateful to have found this shop and group of people. read more

We recently completed our open water diver certifications, and I am so glad we did them with Dive Tech! I could not have asked for a better experience. The instructors/dive masters were thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. You can tell they are truly passionate about diving and about sharing that passion with others. Really, a great group of guys! Safety was number one, and I always felt secure in what we were doing. Beyond that, they made the experience fun. I walked away from the experience feeling prepared and excited to go out and explore! If you're thinking of getting certified, this is the place to do it! Oh, and I should mention that the dive shop has everything you need to get you started (and more)! They're great at helping you select the best equipment for you. I'll definitely be back to make purchases as I grow in the sport. read more

As we were walking in to Dive Tech Scuba Lessons & Gear to get a new snorkel mask for my husband he says to me, "I'm not going to get anything crazy in here". My husband looooves gear! So I rolled my eyes and said okay. As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed by Mendel. He quickly found out what we were after and took us to a wall of masks. He then assisted my husband in selecting the perfect mask. He answered all of our questions and gave excellent recommendations. They have varying price points and I didn't feel any pressure to be upsold. Oh, and yes my husband bought the most expensive mask they had on the wall. So my eye rolling was justified. But on the upside the price was super reasonable and not a crazy amount. Mendel also took a lot of time explaining the process for SCUBA certification. We may do this in the future and I would definitely be doing it here. They have their own pool on site and keep the classes small for more individualized attention. So if you are looking for SCUBA or snorkel gear this should be your place. read more

I have driven by this place a million times, and I never had the occasion to go in until now. I am heading to Florida for vacation, and I needed a new snorkel mask. Upon walking in we were immediately greeted and were shown to the snorkel masks. The guy working there did a good job of explaining the products, and we found one that fit really well. I thought the prices were totally reasonable. The offer scuba lessons and have a pool on site to facilitate these. They also offer diving trips to a bunch of different exotic locations. Thus far I limit myself to snorkelling, but now I am strongly considering going back for the scuba lessons. read more

Mendel was great. Patient, informative and truly invested in making sure everyone was comfortable at the pace. He didnt push and made sure repeatedly the right techniques were used and important safety facts were reiterated. Always ready to answer a question and explain. All in all a great experience and am very happy i did it! :) read more

A really good dive shop in the heights of Houston. I went in just checking out the equipment they offered and found out all of the dives they do around the world and became interested. Trying to find a review from someone who has gone in one of the diving trips to find out what exactly is in store for someone who wants to go? Above all, the man who helped me was really nice and had a great attitude. My family members are considering getting their open water certification through them. read more

I can arguably say that Ed is one of the most supportive dive shop owners and dive masters I have come across. From my initial certification, to equipment upgrades, to dive location selection, to travel bookings, Ed and his staff have it all. Ed is enthusiastic about his trade and in providing his customers with the best experience possible, whether just starting out, or planning the trip of a lifetime. I'm thankful to have Divetech in the neighborhood. read more

I ended up taking private lessons for open water certification because of my schedule, and I could not have been more thrilled. I had no idea I even had anxiety until I went under water. My anxiety was so high that i literally got out of the pool and started packing to go home. Mendel Greene who was my instructor is God send. His patience and understanding with me was incredible. He respected my pace and level of comfort, and we got through it together. It is true when they say that not everyone can teach. Mendel can. read more

I recently got scuba certified at Dive Tech! It was such a fantastic experience. Edward, the owner, couldn't have been more friendly and informative. Our instructor, Mendal, was excellent as well and incredibly patient. I had young kids in my group, which meant spending more time than normal on questions and teaching. He did great with them. The facility is very clean and the gear they have available for purchase is top notch. I'm even going on a diving trip through the Dolphin Travel company to Cozumel in April. Looking forward to it. Highly recommend! read more

Our family recently got certified by the guys at DiveTech and they were simply awesome. Mendel and Tim were our instructors and they were great. Both are very professional, know their stuff and made all of us feel very comfortable while learning our dive skills. Also, the DiveTech facilities are great...very clean, plenty of gear and an adjustable pool bottom which is a big plus when learning this sport. If you are thinking of getting certified go with the DiveTech guys...you'll be glad you did. read more

Ed is a very technical business owner who is very knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend this shop it has a treasure trove of diving equipment. They also have a indoor pool for training courses. read more

SUPER friendly staff who isn't there to over-sell you and yet are very attentive when you're done browsing or when you have a question. I took my tanks there for inspection and they had the best price in town and with quick turn-around. They were very knowledgeable and seemed generally happy to talk about diving without just targeting you for a sale. I haven't done any courses with them since I already have my PADI Instructor certification so I can't attest to those, but from my experiences so far, they seem very professional, service-oriented, and in my experience that flows over into all areas in a dive shop. read more

If there were an option for zero stars, I would select that.  This store is not upfront and honest with customers and, worse, threatens them when asked to provide explanation for their charges. I went to get the battery replaced on my dive watch. They sent it in for repair but later called me to say that the computer needed some other parts replaced and the cost would be $3-400.  I asked for a detailed explanation and they couldn't give me one, but that they would obtain it from the manufacturer. When I went to pick up my watch, the total charge was $570. They had no information on what was wrong and threatened to keep my watch if I didn't want to pay.  I just asked for an explanation why the cost was nearly double the price they quoted and what exactly was wrong with it. They could provide no information.  When I said fine I will pay, a guy in the back yelled at me and told his employee to cancel the payment and that he will just keep my watch because he didn't like that I was upset.  I told him I would call the police and only then did he agree for me to pay the outrageous price to get my watch back.  This store is dishonest and a bunch of bullies. Do not shop here - ever. read more
