I would def call and make sure they're open before you go

Can't say enough good things about Spear America, and specifically Noah…read more Came back from a trip to Mexico where a local shop had installed the wrong spear tip on my speargun. The gun was unusable for the entire trip. Total disaster. When I got home, I reached out to Spear America and Noah immediately diagnosed the issue, identified the correct spear, and went a step further. He swapped out the incorrect European tip so I wasn't stuck paying twice to get the job done right. That kind of service is rare. He didn't have to do it. He chose to. Saved me money, solved the problem, and turned a frustrating trip into something I can laugh about now. Customer for life. Shops are only as good as the people they hire, and Noah is exactly the kind of person you want on the other end of the counter. Thanks again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Since my first order just a few weeks ago I have literally replaced every piece of dive gear including regulator, octo, BC, mask, fins, wet suit and dive computer. They've been awesome, even throwing in a few surprises. Had to return a wet suit that was too small, not a problem. Their return process is simple and hassle-free. I've called, they always answer. I've emailed, they always respond within hours. Their advice and expertise has been dead-on. Thank you Divecatalog.com

Just thought I'd share information about a great wetsuit repair shop in Fullerton…read more Last Sunday while swimming at Naples, there was a noticeable opening by the zipper in the back of my wetsuit. One of my biggest fears of finally bursting out of my wetsuit finally came true. Haha! Seriously, I started to panic because my triathlon was next week. I had a few options. I could buy a new wetsuit or rent one. While they were both possibilities, I didn't want to try anything new this close to the event. The next option was to use the wetsuit I had and to make repairs myself. Fortunately, I'm a terrible seamstress so I sought another option. While at Sports Chalet in Brea looking for wetsuit glue, the folks at the dive shop suggested contacting a local repair shop. If you google wetsuit repair the closest one is in Encinitas or Leucadia in Northern San Diego County. I was afraid he was going to send me over 100 miles to get it fixed! To my surprise, the place he suggested is in Fullerton. I dialed the place on a whim and left a message. Since it was Labor Day when I called, I didn't expect a response until the following day. I also wasn't sure how much or how long it would take. So, I left the best and most creative "Poor-Me" message. Again to my surprise, the owner, Theresa Dye, called me back. She said come by tomorrow morning and we could probably fix it while you wait. That following morning I went to their shop and sure enough they fixed it right away. The total cost was $10. If you ever need your wetsuit repaired or even adjusted, you may want to consider this place. They specialize in wetsuit customization, alterations, and repairs.

First time signing up for a diving trip to Catalina with this shop that I have not gone on yet. But…read morewhen I called in for a fitting, they did not have enough inventory to fit me for, told me to come later in the week when inventory may possibly come back. Also they tell me that I have to pick up my rental equipment to bring to the dive boat site. I am appalled when someone named Sherrie tells me divers need to own their own equipment like a mask, snorkels and fins and don't have those to rent out even though they are a dive shop. She had a sarcastic and condensing tone with me because she was surprised I did not have my own fins and told me they did not carry my size. She said "Welcome to California! Where are you from?" In my almost twenty years of scuba diving all over the world, I have never been met with such poor customer service, gaslighted for not owning fins, assumes all scuba divers own their own equipment and tells customers to pick up their own rental equipment when we pay them to do so. I have canceled my upcoming trip because I don't feel safe with diving with them and have not been refunded my money yet. I would think twice before paying your money to this dive shop.

Worst shopping experience with my kids ever!!! Went inside…read moreto browse and my kids saw a few things they liked. My son found a small ball that was advertised as the bounciest ball. It was way smaller than your fist for $10. My son bounced the ball in the store to show me and the sales lady who was at the register in the front of the store yelled at my son to stop bouncing the ball. My son put the ball back and decided to purchase a water football instead. When I approached the register to pay the sales lady asked me if he put the ball back? I replied: "yes, he put the ball back." In the middle of the transaction she left the register and dashed to the back of the store where some of the kids toys were. After the purchase we walked out and the sales lady ran outside and asked my son again if he put the ball back. Seriously!! I told my son she is asking you because she doesn't believe you. Who does that to a young boy? She displayed such an accusatory behavior that was so uncalled for, inappropriate and unprofessional. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Never experienced that type of discrimination in a store ever, especially towards my child!
