Of all the dive stores is the Greater Vancouver, this is one of the two that we use the most (the…read moreother one being much closer to home). The reason is the EXCELLENT customer service. We deal primarily with George and, if we have had any problems (eg a camera malfunctioning or a travel bag's wheels breaking) he has taken the item back immediately. Often they will replace the item or offer a store credit even before checking with the manufacturer if the return is ok. For this reason, we return again and again to purchase more equipment. They have a good selection of everything: wetsuits, drysuits with undergarments, and some novelty sale items from time to time including wetsuits or lightweight neon tropical BCDs. Their regular selection is standard-priced. They sell Mares rather than Scubapro and we bought some new fins, Volo Power, which are lightweight and easy to use at the suggestion of George, and have been pleased with them. Good selection of accessories as well. Dive and Sea also offers instruction, with open-water dives at Whytecliff in West Van, EFR training etc. Although the staff will make suggestions, I have never felt here as if I'm getting a "hard sell". It's a comfortable store and we always look forward to going there, even just to have a look around. (Dive stores are like candy stores, hard to leave without buying something!) To get to this place, you must be heading North on McBride as it's impossible to make a left turn heading south.

We recently visited Dive and Sea, to look it to purchasing our own gear. We met George, well I…read moredon't think I will ever buy dive equipment anywhere else. He was friendly, knowledgeable, so informative. He would never sell you anything you didn't need. He set us up with some great gear to travel with. Never did we ever feel pressured to buy. He listens your diving experiences and recommends appropriate equipment. Don't buy anywhere else, they are the best.

But wait, in a pinch, Mike from Scuba Supplies in Port Angeles, was able to rent me a scuba setup for my recon mission. In 20 feet of water in 4 feet thick of weeds I spotted a white corner of her phone, just as the sun was setting. After a full day in 55 degree water, the phone still works! Thanks again Mike!

They made sure everyone could learn at their own pace. They emphasized safety and getting comfortable with all the diving skills before moving on. We had a trip with some diving planned shortly after completing our certification here and I felt like I was really well prepared. Great customer service too. All your gear is provided with the open water certification course so you don't have to pay for rentals on top of it. Brad also recommended gear for my fiancé and I when we were ready to buy and I trusted his recommendations. There was no upselling, just honest recommendations based on experience and what we said we wanted. We're hooked on diving now so we'll definitely be coming back and doing more courses here!

Buyer beware: This company is scamming me for over $800 for services that I cannot use. There's no…read moreclear refund policy when you make a purchase. Nor in the email receipt they send. But in small writing at the bottom of an invoice attachment that says no refunds after they've already taken payment.. It wasn't until less than two days before the scheduled course that I was informed that there was online curriculum that needed to be completed. Several weeks before I was given a user name with no instruction other than that, otherwise, I would've worked on it sooner. As I was working through the curriculum, that's when I discovered that not only was it going to be impossible to complete before the dive but I would not be medically cleared to dive. Their only advice to me is that I could give the course away to somebody. I tried to explain that I have no means to give somebody an $800 scuba diving course nor do I know anyone who would want the course and please not steal my money from me. To which I got no response. It's really sad that this situation will have to come down to litigation since it's medical and I'm getting no response to have it resolved for them just to do the right thing. The last I heard from them was their response on my Google review, digging their heals in that they are keeping my money, and citing an unfair refund policy.
