Scuba - Scuba Diving Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Amazing service and aggressive pricing! Run by passionate divers who know and recommend the products. I flew in and needed some stuff and they were great to listen, offer coaching and did not pressure me into other things I would highly recommend them for all your diving questions and products read more

I went here a week after lobster season started in hopes that I could get some dive lights. Three lights I chose were all out of stock but they didn't show up in their computers. I ended up spending more money than i wanted because of this. Also I had to wait at least 15 minutes to get help because there was one person there in front of me. All you have to do is check their computers to find out if an item is in stock, but the guy didn't bother letting me know that till after he was finished. Overall it was a cool place, and great prices. They do run both an online site and a warehouse, so they are busy. I'm sure my next visit will be better! read more

I just updated this review. I have always purchased my equipment and had it serviced at scuba.com due to their great prices and service. In addition, I have recommended it to my family and friends who are avid divers. It must be over 15 years now. The last couple of times I have had problems. Their website and weekly email flyers were not accurate with regards to what is in stock and what is not. I live in Vegas but keep my boat in Ventura. I like to make a special trip to scuba.com when I am in town. This makes it really important that the internet advertising is accurate and I don't waste hours of freeway travel for something that is not in stock and might never be again. The mark of a good business is how they handle individual problems. Arthur contacted me personally and made every effort to keep a long term customer. He exceeded my expectations. I remain a happy customer. One helpful hint to anyone reading this is that they have a very large warehouse with a ton of inventory. I am sure it is very difficult to keep the inventory accounting 100% accurate. If you are making a special trip there and hate California traffic as much as I do, it is worth the time to make a phone call to them to verify if it is in stock to avoid disappointment. This is especially important on their heavily discounted and/or open box items that go quickly. read more

The only thing we bought here were a few masks and snorkels, but the service was great and it felt like we got good products for the price. I will definitely come back. read more

I've ordered twice on Scuba.com. Both times it was easy ! They arrived faster then I anticipated. I did make one return . My husband and I both wear 1/2 sizes, so should have went up to the next size, but since I thought they would have had give to them, I went down the 1/2 size instead of up. When they arrived they were of excellent quality and fit true to size .( they did have some give, but quality was better then I expected) So instead of returning my pair, I gave them to my daughter In-law for our big trip. My husband's, I had to return for the next size. I love them so much I ordered a pair for my common law daughter In-law! Could not be happier!! Now I am going back to the sight to see what else I can buy for our trip!! read more

Awesome business, both online and in-store. I bought a GoPro here recently, and went back on the website later to order accessories for it. They came came so fast! The in-store techs are extremely friendly and have no problems answering questions, even if they are commonly known answers. Overall, great service and selection! Thanks Scuba.com! read more

Always receive expert, quick and informed service. Just took my 6 cubic pony bottle in for it's annual review visual inspection and not only did this happen but the tech also gave me a cover for the exposed insert. Nice. Price continually either meets, or beats, all other options. Have purchased wetsuits, camera equipment and computers with excellent results. If you don't like it, take it back until you get it right read more

Incredible support. These guys actually know what they are doing. I'm thankful I got away from the chain stores and found SCUBA.com. There location has an incredible selection so a perfect fit can be had. The also did NOT try to up sell me. Thank you Arron read more

Awesome place. They are more than just an Internet dive supply store, they have a full repair center on site, and the people who work there are very knowledgeable. Suba.com has a much better selection of items than most retail shops, and most items are normally in-stock. It helps that I work right around the corner so it's very convenient. Great place to get my last-minute airfills. read more

Big fan of Scuba.com for great service & knowledgeable, friendly, and most important, helpful staff. Went in to the showroom for the first time after the 2012 Scuba Show in Long Beach and was pleasantly surprised to see all that they had to offer, from equipment to rentals & repairs as well as instruction too, only wish is that they were closer to home for me, but that's not too big a deal. Recommend them to all who are looking for anything scuba related, check there first before you go elsewhere even if it's only to compare. They just serviced (hydro'd) a tank for me that no one else would look at due to it's age and being long overdue for inspection, but it's been taken care of and received all passing grades, so now it's back to diving once more, thanks Scuba.com ! ! !

This place is THE BEST! I did the open water course through scuba.com, and it was amazing. The instructors (especially Kristina and Tom) are so knowledgeable and personable. They do a great job of making you feel comfortable in every situation, making the course so enjoyable. I also bought some gear through them, and plan on buying future gear from them. They have a great selection and they are very helpful. Miguel has helped me multiple times when I've gone in to look at gear. He always gives me great information and helps me decide what to buy. This place really is great! read more

AMAZING Open Water Scuba Classes!!! The open water scuba class is just phenomenal, from the quality of instruction to the robustness of the program. They were very prepared and organized each day making a seamless experience for me and allowed me to focus on growing my knowledge and skills as a diver. They are so patient and really want to make sure you understand how to do each skill so you are safe under water. The price is a great deal as well because it includes instruction, all of your scuba gear rentals, and two round trip ferry rides to Catalina. I even got some photos of me diving Catalina included! Kristina, Tom, and Darrick were my instructors and I truly give them my highest praise for making this class so fun and informative and will recommend them to any friends I have that want to get certified in the future. Thank you!!! read more

I would like to take the time to sincerely thank Kristina Zalewski for her incredible ability to teach others. Last evening (14 JUN 17), I attended a "Discover Scuba" class at the Newport-Mesa YMCA. Salt water pool, check. Scenic views, check. Kristina led our class with a great knowledge and love for scuba diving. I've had my fair share of almost "sleeping with the fishes" in my lifetime (near-drowning), however, Kristina's confident and pleasant demeanor had me feeling not only an inner sense of peace, but the fear I've held onto all these years quickly disappeared, as I found myself in the deeper pool, descending and clearing my ears like a seasoned diver. If you ever want to learn how to scuba dive, please do me a favor and look no further than this company. I look forward to getting my certification and going on some incredible diving excursions! Thank you Kristina Zalewski, for making my first experience the best! read more

My wife and I just finished our Padi Open Water certification through Scuba.com and it was absolutely amazing. So much so that I'm writing my first review ever. Our instructors were Tom and Darrick. They were super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, great teachers and had endless fun and exciting dive adventures to share. They are both great guys too that really care about their students and their job. I couldn't say enough good things about the experience. The organization and flexibility of the course was great too. It was all-inclusive, one price (no nickle and diming on gear, tanks, etc.). The program was efficient and fun. The sign up process was easy. Kristina helped me figure out what I needed to do, forms to fill out, etc. and was super helpful and friendly every time I called. If you are going to get scuba certified in Southern California, I highly recommend using Scuba.com. read more

I am new to Scuba and they were extremely helpful with my basic equipment. They familiarized me with the different features of the fundamental scuba equipment and helped me choose the best equipment for me. I highly recommend going down to the shop. And PLUS, great deals! read more

August/19/2011. "TO U ALL" My wife & me are from S. San Francisco. We took a trip down south L.A. As well we went to scuba.com.Easy to get there. Safe location & parking!!!!. All the sales representive are nice and welcoming.Aboveall they real professionals. They listen to your questions carefully and give you lot options to your answers with precision. We are happy with our shoppings. Thanks read more

I needed good quality snorkeling gear that didn't break the bank. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He listened to what I wanted and needed and had a lot of great advice for a novice snorkeler, I would highly recommend this shop!!! read more

Love this place. It's easy to pick up if order online. People are really nice here. Dave is the guy to ask for anything.

horrifical, if that is a word. i ordered a pole spear, a pretty simple gizmo. the product that arrived was in terrible condition. i am pretty sure it was used. the Cressi logo-label was half-torn-off. the finish on the spear was all dinged up and the pole spear wasn't even straight. horrifical. then, the replacement process was even worse. they never processed my return of the item which never triggered the new item shipping which made the item miss my spear fishing holiday. terrible product. worse service read more

Scuba.com is a great place to purchase dive gear. The selection and prices can't be beat. The staff are all very friendly. Kristina was the staff member who helped us and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. You can browse their inventory on the computers and the staff will bring you anything you'd like to look at. I highly recommend a visit to scuba.com read more

I placed an online order for a dive bag and dry bag. Since I live in the Virgin Islands, I was expecting a long wait before my items arrived. I was shocked when I received an email just an hour or two after placing the order that my item had already shipped! And was pleasantly surprised when it arrived just a few days later. The quality of the items themselves seems to be excellent. I haven't used either bag yet, but from my inspection of them, they seem to be solid, and exactly what I needed. Thanks for the great customer service and products! read more

I recently placed an order with scuba.com and used PayPal to facilitate the payment. The order was easy to place and the one time I communicated with scuba.com I was answered within hours. The order was shipped quickly and I was advised of the shipping date and delivery date. The delivery date was spot on. I am very happy with the products I received. The order included: 1 018480 Scuba Deluxe Round Protective Regulator Bag Black Very pleased. The bag is padded and my Octo, regulators and gauge setup fit in easily. 1 018825 Scubamax Large Deluxe Duffel Bag Bag This was a shot in the dark on the purchase. I needed a bag for my scuba gear and wasn't looking to pay a fortune for it. I scored.The bag is big enough for my BCD, the Octo bag, two scuba masks/snorkels, two sets of fins and the dive hanger and dive repair kit. I still have some room left for a change of clothes. The material is good weight and the zippers are heavy duty. When full it will not qualify as a carry on for flights. It has a shoulder strap which will be needed when I get it all loaded up. 1 030141 XS Scuba Save A Dive Kit A good start. I may need to add some small tools and a couple other odds and ends. 1 030878 XS Scuba BC Hanger Black Its a hangar. ;-) Looks to be of good quality. Time will tell. Overall very pleased with the service and the products. I will definitely consider them the next time I'm looking for gear. read more

This place is amazing. Tom and miguel were extremely helpful, not pushy and very informative. This place is A+ come check it out

I have purchased numerous items from scuba.com. Most items are in stock for immediate delivery but for items not in stock they are more than generous with an upgraded item so the shipping does not get delayed. Prices are good and service is fast. read more

I just love this place! In over five years diving in Orange County, I haven't found a better shop for service, price and inspiration! I always make it a point to stop by scuba.com. It's my toy store of choice. read more

I've tried other diving supply websites and have had very little luck finding exactly what I needed. http://Scuba.com has it all. I ordered a new dive wetsuit from http://Scuba.com (along with a few other goodies for the past Lobster season) and I am greatly satisfied with their service, huge selection, and unbeatable prices. I called in to ask about the items I was going to purchase and they were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions with ease. Don't shop anywhere else if you haven't tried Scuba.com Thank you Scuba.com!!! read more

The instructor that I am working with is a great teacher and very patient. He will answer all of your questions and if you are having any difficulty on dives he is more than willing to assist you. All of the course material is explained thoroughly so you have a good deal of knowledge before your first dive as long as you do the required reading before your class sessions. The rental gear is in very good condition for your training dives. The dive shop both in store and online have the best prices I have seen anywhere. Most of their new gear is even lower priced than used from Play it Again Sports and other used sporting good sellers. Just be sure to order what you need well before your dive, because they might not have it in stock. The staff in house might try to push you on certain pieces of gear, but they wont sell you something just because it has the highest price point. Overall, Scuba.com offers great training courses with competitive prices and the best equipment selection I have seen. read more

The upside to Scuba.com is that they have a wide selection of gear and it is often a one stop shop. Most of my orders have been complete and on time. However, there have been exceptions and they are starting to become more frequent. I also have experienced orders where it will say items are available and only much later find out that they are back-ordered and my shipment is delayed. Just recently an order took almost two weeks to ship, and it was split because one of the items was back ordered. The customer service representative wasn't rude, but not very friendly. I will probably stick with Scuba.com because it is easy, but I think that some changes are needed. read more

Fantastic to have a place 'kinda close" by to buy scuba gear at. Derek was so helpful assisting me with the weights I needed for my BC. He broke it down and added pouches for the weights too! Even had me purchase a pouch that I will definitely use while diving. (Probably would have come back and to buy) It was marked down $10. Yep....a new diver and gearing up! Next month....on to suits, skins and tanks. read more

Largest selection of scuba gear in orange county! I always have to come here since sport chalet by my house never has what im looking for. If you dont want to drive around to multiple LDS's to check out all the brands then this is your place. Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

I definitely recommend them. They have a good selection and what they didn't have in house we were able to order. Their staff are really kind, knowledgeable, and professional at the Costa Mesa location. It was a great experience. read more

Thank you Christina and staff at Scuba.com. I came in last minute to fit 3 of my daughters and my son in law before starting lessons. The staff was patient and was very accommodating in assistance with finding equipment that was both functional as well as within my budget. At no time was the staff pushy on specific products just to up sell and was very knowledgeable as to the performance of each product. So far, everything I've purchased has worked flawlessly, fit well and saved me a ton! Thanks again and I look forward to continuing to buy our equipment from Scuba.com. read more

I've visited the website and previously purchased from their website. I was in the area and decided to stop by, and Dave was able to help me out! I also learned they have specials for walk one, so I suggest checking it out! read more

Fast, efficient shipping. I ordered the wetsuit on Saturday afternoon, paid $10 priority shipping, and it was on my doorstep on Monday afternoon! Item was as described! Great service! Highly recommend them for all your scuba needs, I only wish I was local to them! Thank you! read more

Dave offered exemplary customer service. Very patient and was extremely knowledgeable about the various product lines I was investigating. EXCELLENT customer experience! read more

This place is awesome. 2nd time here. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

The site sells products that they don't have in stock, and their shipping times are BS.

Wonderful selection of gear; a wide variety of brands and sizes. The best part is the helpful staff offering advice on fit and style, specifically Kristine in store and Aaron and Arthur over the phone. Recommend a visit to store or website before your next dive. read more

Kristine was Very kind and helpful. lot of variety! Good place to shopping. Highly recommended to visit!
