I took my advance open water with them back in 2017 and I came back and finished my Rescue diving cert. Everyone in the store is very nice and helpful, they make me feel like family every time I walk in. I recommend this shop 100% read more

The only scuba shop I use. My buddy and I got PADI open water certified here and became members of their dive club. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Prices are reasonable. They are a full service shop and I've recently had my octo and regulator serviced here. Can't say enough nice things about this place. Glad they were able to introduce me to the world underwaterz read more

See all

Scuba Center Temecula is a fantastic dive shop, they are detail oriented and have incredible customer service. I recommend them for anyone looking to learn, advance their skill set or simply get a great deal on gear. read more

I had been looking for the Aqua Lung Rogue waistband assembly for months. It was backordered everywhere. I kept checking back, but still no joy. I did another search, as I was coming up on a diving trip, and low and behold, I found it at Scuba Center Temecula when searching their website. I was in disbelief so I did something unusual for me. I picked up the phone and called before placing the order. What a refreshing experience! Not only did Chob answer my question on availability, but we also discussed how I wanted to swap the waistband on my Aqua Lung Outlaw BCD for the Rogue waistband, which had the pockets I wanted. He then completed my order over the phone and emailed me with a tracking number for the shipment that very day. A few days later, he called me to confirm I had received it and that it worked out! I worked in the customer service business for many years and I know what great customer service is. This. Was. It. I could not be happier with my experience and with my new BCD set up. Can't wait to try it! From now on, I know where I will go for any future purchases. Highly recommend! read more

Great certification process - clear communication, exceptionally professional and I felt like safety was a top priority. Everything was completed with integrity and by the end of my dives I felt confident in my ability to dive without an instructor. read more

I took the beginner diving course here. The Instructors are great, and fulll of experience. I really enjoyed the process of slowly building up to being a licensed diver. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend to a friend for a new activity to try. read more

Treated like family. The instructors took care of my kids during the diving lessons. The dive shop is awesome.

Just finished my open water certification with my wife and we're hooked! The getting hooked part happened because of the great experience facilitated by Graeme, Billy, Justin, Brad, and Jon. We immediately wanted more and signed up for additional certifications. Fun way to push yourself and enjoy new experiences. Highly recommended!! read more

I created a Yelp account specifically to give a 5 start review to Scuba Center Temecula, so that in itself should send the message across. I heard about Scuba Center from their advertisement during the Food and Wine festival this summer. They were giving out a great deal to get certified this summer, so I said "why not?" I was amazed by the service of all the staff at Scuba Center. I was only in Temecula for a summer job and the staff did everything they could to accommodate my needs. For example, I had a flight scheduled on the second day of confined water dive training. Since flying within 24 hours after diving is not recommended, the owners of Scuba Center set up a time to do the confined water dive for me and my friends in their very own home pool and even provided lunch! I don't know how service can get any better than that. And during the open water dives I felt extremely safe with the very qualified instructors and they made sure that each buddy team had a Dive Master or Dive Master in Training with them at all times to ensure their safety. The staff is not only professional, but also very fun. They made the entire experience extremely enjoyable and the next time I'm in the area I definitely plan on trying to do a dive with the staff. I highly recommend getting scuba certified through Scuba Center. The open water dives are done in Catalina and La Jolla, both amazing sites. The open water dives could have been easily done at other, less exciting spots, but at Scuba Center, they go all out. I would also recommend Scuba Center for buying or renting any equipment. read more

It was my very first time scuba diving and I was nervous, but the instructors were calm and taught me how to scuba dive, and I could do it with ease in my class at the CRC pool. I learned a lot, and I was the first in my family to get a scuba license. If you want to learn to scuba dive, learn it with the Scuba Center Temecula Group. Now I'm going to do Open Water Scuba! read more

Scuba Center Temecula - Training at the CRC Pool - Scuba Diving Near Me - Temecula, California

If you're looking for an adventure and ready to open up new doors while getting the best training with friendly and knowledgeable staff.

They don't pressure you, they help in anyway they can and go out of there way to accommodate you, even with a hectic schedule. read more

Great Company...I wanted to take a refresher open water certification class last year in preparation for a Hawaii trip. I'm hooked. I have completed almost 60 dives in the last year an received several specialized certifications. I'm beginning my journey towards instructing. I can't say enough about the friendly and professional staff/instructors. What great fun I'm having and what great friends I've made. read more

Just got certified by then a couple days ago. Awesome instructors, and they take great care of you. Always making sure you're having fun, and they will work with you constantly to get your skills down. Very grateful i got to be certified by them! Graeme & Billy thank you for being there for the OW dives. And Jon, thank u for being there for the CW dives read more

Finally, a Scuba Store in Temecula that is actually a knowledgeable Scuba Store! Not only does everybody here dive, but they know what they are talking about and pay attention to safety, which sadly seems to be lacking in many operations these days. They carry several lines of gear and I'm especially thankful that they carry Scuba Pro, which is what I've used for over 2 decades. They are extremely helpful with dealing with distributors too; assisting me with a warranty issue with a company to the point of getting an entirely new unit. Don't waste your money on on-line gear purchases that have limited warranties, or the multi-sports big box store that doesn't know anything about diving or their gear. They also support a local dive club where you can meet other divers, which is great. There always seems to be divers hanging out here sharing stories and giving great advice on dive locations I've never been too. read more

Phillip runs a great shop. Well stocked and reasonable prices on gear. Runs specials on tanks and air fills from time to time. Instruction is top notch!! read more

Don't hesitate to get your gear serviced here. Buy your gear here, they take care of you. I dropped off my gear to get overhauled (several weeks before I needed it), when the BC and first stage regulator appeared to need more parts and that it might not be ready for a dive weekend, they offered up rental equipment. The equipment was unserviceable sadly due to the prior shop (not Scuba Center Temecula) over torquing many fittings inside my first and second stage regulators. They quickly got me up and running with a new set. Great job on Service, you can 'literally' trust them with your life. When a special order didn't look like it would arrive on time for my dive excursion, they drove to pick it up. Really, I can't wait to take a class with them at this level of professionalism and quality. p.s. I know there is a closer dive shop to me in Beaumont, but I drive all the way to Temecula for my precious gear. read more

Went here for snorkeling gear. The man who helped us was very friendly and helpful in helping us find what we needed and the right sizes. Has convenient hours, and great package prices. read more

The first time we went to this scuba shop to get our snorkling gear I knew that this was a great place. We got first hands on with the gear and lots of information to get ready for our scuba classes. The staff is helpful and friendly. This is were we met Phil who is a great person. My girlfriend and I set up our privite class with him to learn how to scuba dive. We just got back from our four scuba dives in Avalon. It was an amazing experience and was well with it. Scuba Center Temecula is a great place with an amazing team. We can not wait to take more classes with Scuba Center Temecula. read more

Excellent for everything SCUBA. Their staff are all knowledgable on all equipment and classes. They always fit the right products to you personally, they don't just sell you something. Their instructors are very good and very safe. Best full service dive shop around! read more

I've always been curious about diving, and after two weekends with this shop I am completely hooked. The people that run the shop are so knowledgeable and patient, and the dive instructors are FUN and make everything feel so safe. The only down side is that I can't stop talking about scuba. Luckily, the shop welcomes you like family and you feel like you are a part of the scuba community. Definitely check it out! read more

If you want excellent customer service and great quality of gear for your scuba experience, Scuba Center of Temecula is the place to go! They are hard-working people for all your needs and always have all the latest equipment at a fair price. It's so convenient for me to just run over there and they are always so friendly! Don't waste your time at the big chain stores. read more

This has been my dive shop for a while. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Their gear servicing is fast, reasonably priced, and awesome. The instructors are professional and do their job well. I have had several friends take classes there and they all had good things to say. I never get short air fills. They don't carry some of my favorite brands but they can order just about any piece of gear you can imagine. read more

Great staff, great equipment, great training, great trips. We just returned from our Advanced rating course at Catalina, and they went above & beyond to make sure everyone could participate and enjoy the course. Not only did we dive in the Catalina dive park, but then finished up with two boat dives the next day. What an adventure. Not only did our instructor, Jon, take care of all requirements and safety concerns, he also helped with lots of logistics and social meetings. Thank you for making this a fun and successful trip! Phil (owner) has great equipment for rent, but also excellent equipment for sale at good prices. Ask them about their full-face masks, and they will patiently tell you all about it. The rest of the staff is equally passionate. If you are thinking about scuba diving, this is a great place to do it. read more

Happy to see an Honest dive shop in the valley. The rental department is in great shape, When they do air fills they are topped off and the compressor is not getting water into the tanks like the other place in Murrieta. At Temecula, they care about the dive community, and its divers, felt very comfortable when I switched over to them. read more

Billy V. WOW!!!!!!! I took my advanced open water certification this saturday an sunday. My Saturday class was really fun, My sunday class was a bit more challenging, it was my first deep water dive. It was not what I had expected, Had it not been for my dive instructor Jon V. I most likely would have had a bad experience. However with jon's cool, calm, positive attitude, experience an passion for diving I would have been miserable!!!!!! Jon took my uncertinty an built my confidence to complete my deep water dive .Not only did I complete my first dive, I made two more deep water dive's with no hesitation an had a total blast with a great experience I will never forget. Jon THANK YOU for making me a better an safer diver, because of you I will continue to dive an pass on your passion the best I can. I can't say enough about TEMECULA SCUBA CENTER the complete staff, Phillip, Wynona, Jon an Michael all have a passion to make everyone the best diver possible. There knowledge is second to none. If you are ever interested in diving where ever you live you should come visit these people. read more

The owner called me to discuss my concerns. I was impressed with his desire to resolve my concerns. We discussed the various costs. He was able to explain the detailed costs to my satisfaction. It was apparent that his primary goal was to obtain my satisfaction. He accomplished that goal. As a result, I intent to visit the shop again. read more

My wife, daughter and I just completed the PADI open water course with the Scuba Center Temecula. I rarely write reviews but the entire staff was so professional, safety oriented and helpful that I felt obliged to share our experience with others. Everything was top notch including the online learning modules, pool training events and Mission Point and Catalina open water dives. We've snorkeled in the past but have always wanted to get scuba certified. Scuba Center Temecula made the whole process as easy as possible. The entire staff, especially Daniel and Grahm, was incredibly helpful. They had an amazing amount of knowledge and were extremely patient from start to finish. We had a couple of school / work conflicts that they were able to work around. Consequently, we were able to wrap up the course toot sweet. If you want to get scuba certified and feel confident in doing open water dives, Temecula Scuba is the way to go. read more

The instructors are great, they really care about the students, you get excellent training here! I really like doing business with a locally owned company. read more

Great shop really good people to work with. I have bought all my gear here and taken multiple classes. Always had a real good experience with them. read more

So grateful to have the opportunity to learn to dive. It was an amazing experience taught by genuine and patient trainers. Friendly owners and workers who made great accommodations with class times for our larger grou0. Hopefully, sometime I will get a chance to return to the area and do some more diving with them. read more

This is my first time learning how to scuba dive. The staff at Scuba Center Temecula were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They were willing to work around our schedule so that we could take the Open Water Course. The Instructors and Divemasters were friendly and very patient. I am very satisfied with the class and would highly recommend Scuba Center Temecula to everyone. read more

This place was great. I found everyone very accommodating, as I am a teenage customer. I found managing the gear a little more challenging than the other students, so I needed some additional assistance during all of the dives. I learned quite a lot from everyone at Scuba Center, and I will definitely come back to work with them again. Although I completed my dive certification with them a while ago, I just recently returned to the store to purchase more equipment. As usual, everyone was extremely helpful and I am willing to make the long drive to Temecula just to work with the great people at Scuba Center. read more

BEST DIVE SHOP HANDS DOWN! They book three vacations a year with amazing packages. The staff is always friendly and goes above and beyond to help. The dive club plans great events like picnics and parades. Being apart of the Dive Club is like being apart of a family. Its also a FIVE STAR Dive Shop rated by PADI and a FIVE STAR Dive shop rated by customers. After being involved with Scuba Center Temecula since 2010 I won't go anywhere else. They have a great selection on equipment also. Once you go Scuba Center Temecula you'll always go back. There is something more about just getting certified for a good price you want to join a family to keep diving with, and this is the best place for that. If you want to walk into a BUISNESS and everyone knows you by your first name that is customer service, they know there clients and keep a special stock for their clients by knowing them. Phillip and Wenona are great people as well as great business owners. read more
