Best Diving Shops In Seattle Near Me

Nathan Rose: I love these guys! I've done multiple shore dives in Puget sound, a couple of boat trips, and a 10 day dive trip to the Philippines. Every interaction is excellent, from the laid-back owner to the highly competent and safety-first staff. I did my AOW and First Responder certs with them and next up will be Rescue Diver. Outstanding all the way 'round.

Henry Chism: Seattle Dive Tours rocks! Tours are always great and staff is very friendly and accommodating. Come check them out!

Piotr Linke: Very professionally organised event. The Seacrest Cove 2 site is full of cold water marine life despite the proximity of the city. If you are into macro photography you should not be disappointed.

Katy Peterson: , and she did such a fantastic job! I’m headed to Belize in January and after a 7 year break in between dives, the course made me feel much more prepared and confident for my trip. I highly recommend Seattle Dive Tours for all of your training needs.

Tom Guadagno: Great experience!

Ian Campbell: Did the sea crest 2 dive and had a fantastic experience. They keep groups small and clearly know what they’re doing. Will use again

Jack Dennis: Amazing experience

Dennis Pilat: .I highly recommend them! They know their stuff and I love how they keep class sizes small

Brian Pisula: Scott and his crew are top notch! Had two great dives with Scott as my guide. Felt well cared for throughout. Gear was excellent, hot coffee during surface time, good educational materials about wildlife. Would highly recommend to anybody looking to dive in the Seattle area!

Kristen Tice: I had such a great time with this diving company! They were all very friendly and provided warm water with the choice of tea or coffee. The weights and rental gear were sized just right. We went over safety, hand signals, and the dive plan before getting into the water.

Joseph Thomas: My wife and I did a walk-in guided dive at Sund Rock; it was an awesome experience! Olivia was our dive master; she made us feel welcome and comfortable, and both dives were safe, enjoyable and informative. We will definitely be back for more!

Jake Seegs: Fantastic dive shop with a wonderful group of guides. The rental gear was top shelf stuff. Shoutout to Maddi, Madison, and Shannon for their professionalism and patience. This was my first cold water dive and it was a lot to adjust to compared to my usual tropical environments. I’d definitely dive with this shop again and encourage others to do the same.

Alex Chernak: Excellent dive, and crew. Great experience!

Jack Mi: is so nice and friendly and helpful. The communication is SUPER SMOOTH. They are very responsive!I booked the seacrest cove 2 tour with them. Great briefing up front. They helped a lot when gearing up/switching tank, they have very good surface support

Tigin Kaptanoglu: I visited Seattle off-season and wanted to dive. My schedule was hard to begin with, and kept changing. SDT was so accommodating throughout, always making sure that 1- I could dive as many times as I wanted, 2- I would enjoy each dive to the max, 3- I got to my hotel safely when my phone died and my cab didn't arrive, and 4- I was refunded for any dives that I missed. The dive with the massive friendly seal was an experience to remember for life. I absolutely loved these people and will definitely travel from Europe to dive with them again.

Sophie Dion-Kirschner: and Billy

Forrest Wedmore: These guys are awesome! I've done a guided tour of both Seacrest Cove 2 and Edmonds UWP with them and both have be excellent! The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about conditions, gear and wildlife. I would highly recommend them for certification and tour dives in the Puget area.

Caitlin Townsend: , and they even added a second instructor on Day 2

karl wirsing: My wife and I just completed PADI open water certification through Seattle Dive Tours, and they are nothing short of exceptional. For someone like me, who was fairly nervous going in, I loved their instructor-to-student ratio -- one professional for two newbies -- and felt thoroughly cared for and safe the entire time. Everyone we met and worked with was warm, welcoming, hugely knowledgeable and patient. Seriously, couldn't have had a more positive experience, and we can't wait to get out in the water again soon!

CÁZI: Great gear, Great staff, Great instructers!

Benjamin Bryer: Extremely professional and friendly instructors. Highly recommend!

John Krah: Instructors are skilled and knowledgeable, love sharing their experience with divers of all skills from first time to professional, and pick good sites for finding octopus!

Joshua Adam: Great service and had what I wanted. Support local.

Gilberto Ramirez Jacome: Awesome!!

Steven Margo: From the very beginning, Atina at Underwater Sports' Seattle store was super helpful with scheduling, instruction, and advice.When my schedule wouldn't allow me to join one of the standard classes, Atina offered to work over a national holiday to refresh my training. She also was a superb instructor, reviewing material outside of the water and in the water. She also asked around to connect me with a recommended dive shop in a less-traveled destination.Thank you UWS for hiring great workers like Atina!

Len Quadracci: Good place to get gear serviced. Good place to take or update training. The employees care and go the extra mile. I trust them and that is important.

Stanley Groomer: I have been part of the Underwater Sports family since 1988. They are the best!

Julia Sleeper: These guys are so great! I worked with several folks from the team here on my scuba cert and getting setup with gear and everyone is very kind and supportive and informative. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to learn!

Candace Mauer: Been coming here for 25 years for equipment purchases and servicing. Solid.

Bryce Johnson: Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate staff! Great dive shop, I read that money cannot buy happiness but it can buy dive gear! Stop by UWS. 🤣

Vince Reynolds: Great dive shop.

Ozan Erdem: They did a great job replacing the battery of my suunto dive computer. I had an upcoming trip and folks here expedited my work so that I can take my dive computer with me. Thank you!

Henry Chism: Helpful staff and great instruction at UWs

Jeff H: . The class included rental items and there was never a time where we incurred an unexpected cost once we signed up for the class. The instruction was great. Our instructor was professional, knowledgeable, experienced and very patient. We would definitely recommend using them. We will continue to provide them with our business. Also, we would highly recommend doing the open water dives in the puget sound, it exceeded our expectations. Cheers!

Kristofer Stensland: Just finished the intro to free diving course. Learned a ton and had a blast!

Chuck Fergerson: My kids, 13 and 15, just completed their open water dive certification. The instructors were great and the kids had a blast!

Corinne Klohmann: I had a great experience getting my open water SCUBA certification here. Jackie was an excellent instructor and took every precaution to make her students feel safe and confident diving!

nima maghoul: Great staff, service and equipment for your diving needs

Riley Cobb: Manager is super friendly and helpful! This guy needs a promotion or something!!!

Robin Barr: Love this local place! They know all there is about NW diving and had a snorkel that fits my 7 year old

David Rahfeldt: Great people an DC cety competent help. Filling. Instruction ...gottaclivd friendly competence

Ken Buzelle: Went diving at magnuson park when my dive buddy's high pressure hose blew while doing our surface prep.. Googled dive shops and they were the top of the list. A+ service

Pamela Bellah Seattle & Eastside Realtor: struggled and struggled

Colin Katagiri: They've always been extremely helpful in their sponsorship of the University of Washington's Human Powered Submarine Team. Their staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable about the gear they are selling.I have not taken any classes with them.

Ian Doepker: Lighthouse Diving is a great dive shop that always has its best interest for the customer. I took the basic basic open water scuba certification with Jim and Tim and they provided outstanding service, very well knowledgeable, never rush into things and take each chapter one step at a time. Prices are reasonable, able to work deals with possible packages. Can provide adequate info on dive sites. Definitely one of the higher recommended dive shops to go to if you need something dive related.

Dom .F: with discounts and expertise. Brought my gear in for annual servicing, and the work is done at about the going rate for that sort of thing. All work is done offsite, which makes the lead time about 2 weeks, but that's about as good as most other places.Only complaint is that they generally seem pretty short-staffed: pretty sure just one guy is in the shop at a time. Their process for servicing and renting could be expedited, otherwise there is a pretty long wait if someone else is in the shop.

Sage Michelle Haynes: I was recently in the market for a new drysuit, one that I am hoping to have for a very long time. Owner Craig & his staff helped me find the absolute suit of my dreams. The shop carries a tremendous amount of high quality and high functioning gear, so I was able to outfit myself with a drysuit/undergarment/heated vest combo that keeps me super warm, and I’ve never truly been warm during in the Puget Sound until now. I’m not exaggerating when I say my new equipment has put the joy back into diving for me. Wholeheartedly recommend this shop for anyone who is looking to purchase new gear and is struggling to find the “right fit”. They will take the time to find what’s best for you.

Craig Nikolai: Best dive shop ever, period! From beginner to advanced technical; gear, training and travel- Craig, Mona and Team will treat you right and keep you safe. Once you experience their quality of service, you won't want to go anywhere else.

Joanne Yip: . Corey kindly heard me out, was very reassuring, gave some good tips, and kept an eye out to make sure that I and everyone else was comfortable throughout the pool session. He was detailed without being overwhelming and made technical concepts easy to follow.After the class, I had to hitch a ride back to the shop. And I especially appreciated that Corey made sure I was safe and had a safe spot to wait for my own ride before he drove off.When it comes to diving, I always always appreciate dive pros who are patient, safety-oriented, and kind enough to look out for individual divers whether or not they ask for help. I’m so glad I chose Silent World to do a long-awaited refresher and would 100% recommend them for courses, trips, and anything dive related! Thank you so much, Corey!

Sarah Brenden: I took their Beginner’s Open Water SCUBA and Dry Suit courses. It was incredible. I’m so glad I did it. I was nervous at first but the instructors were very patient and kind.The dives we took at Alki Beach were so much fun!

Rick Scott: Top notch!

Karla Garcia: , take it from a girl who grew up with water and pool traumas xD.

Martin Sleeman: and they had an instructor

Deborah Sleeman: I completed my Open Water and Drysuit certifications through Silent World. The instructors Chris, Scott, and Andy were very experienced and made things fun while also teaching solid skills. They were genuinely excited to share their love of diving. The low student to teacher ratio and small class size allowed instructors to accommodate students' varied needs. I turned out to be a more nervous diver but the instructors, especially Andy, were fantastic in supporting me and fully believed I could do it. As a result, I'm now looking forward to future dive adventures with confidence!

jason farrish: I just got through the basic certification course for open water diving and I had an amazing experience. My instructors, Tom, Scott, and John, gave every student exactly what they needed to make them feel comfortable and prepared. The students had a huge variety of skill levels and none of us were bored or felt rushed. Our last dive was the PNW underwater adventure I dreamed about for years.

Steven Bell: I don't give out many five star ratings, but these folks hit all the marks. Friendly, helpful, safe, good inventory. Highly recommend.

Michael O'Brien: Had a great experience getting my Open Water and Drysuit certifications with Bryan. Craig and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable and invested in helping you grow as a diver.

Conor Myhrvold: and Atomic regulators. Which can be harder to find in other stores. Attentive and good classes to for scuba etc. 👍🙂

Johannes McKay: Awesome owners - we have done training with them and also bought drysuits from the store. There has never any pressure sales, honest rounded advice. Drysuit sizing and option selection was rigorous - one measured dimension was between manufacturer sizes so they corresponded with the manufacturer while we were in the store to make sure the best selection was made - our suits arrived being a great fit. Both the owners and their staff pay attention to details and follow up with advice and tips - they make a serious effort to understand their customers!

Andrey Karayvansky: Craig was very helpful. I really like this store

Jim Mallory: Craig and his team got me and my son certified to dive. They are great very safe and knowledgeable.

Amy Masreliez: My 12-year old son had a great experience with his dry suit certification and his instructor Jeremiah. Great staff and ownership.

Travis Sterner: Craig and crew are always helpful. Safety checks on tanks and regulators are always thorough. Very much appreciate their efforts!

Brendon Reich: Great place, friendly people, little on the pricy side but great if you attend dit.

Marcus Vinson: Great people who run the shop and are super helpful.

Sam Molezzo: Best service, knowledge and staff!

Sage Wheeler: . I feel I have seen enough to give a wholehearted endorsement of the business and, especially, the instructors. All of my classes were taught by Duncan Scott. He is calm and assured and very competent. He dives effortlessly, which gives great confidence that he can support you easily as well. I highly recommend any class or trip with Duncan. This place could make a fortune selling gear to their students, but never once have I felt that I was being taken advantage of. In fact, the discounts offered to students usually result on a price much lower than anything you can find online. If anything they are too generous, and it seems they could use some profits from product sales to spruce the place up a little bit. It is definitely a vintage Seattle joint that could use some renovations, but I would take good people over glossy appearance any day.The classes are well taught, with a strong emphasis on safety. Ultimately, you have to listen and be responsible for yourself, communicate your needs, etc, but I felt well supervised the entire time. To do that, they sometimes break you up into small groups, even though they are well within PADI guidelines to take the whole group out. I like this extra-cautious approach. However, this leaves the other group sitting in the rain on the shore for an hour or so. I would have liked to have seen some more shore support on those cold days. A pop-up tent and some hot tea, hot water for cold gloves, etc. That seems like a nice touch that wouldn't cost a lot and would be really appreciated.I would also add that their website is very antiquated and is a bit hard to follow when it comes to scheduling classes, especially on a mobile device - but it works. They still use a lot of paper with a lot of the tests, applications, etc, which could be done online through PADI.Overall, this is a great group of people who are clearly passionate about what they do and they have been doing it a long time. There seems to be a bit of apathy towards change, as can happen when a business has been successful for a long time, and it seems they could use a fresh look at some of their offerings and practices. I would say they are still a 5 star operation, for sure. After all, I got what I needed, I felt safe, and I felt the pricing was very fair.

Ave B: The most fun class ever and great staff. I did the open water referral with their Tulum school and everything was so smooth, great communication. Great place to go learn how to dive!!

Jakob Engel: I love diving, and went with Seattle Scuba to do the Cold Water orientation, and then the Drysuit and then the Advance Open Water - I've been diving in different places before, but always at a cozy 20C, so this a great new experience. And to everyone who is in doubt whether cold-water diving is worth it compared to tropical diving - go try it!The Instructors are all excellent, and clearly love what they do, I can absolutely recommend the school. During the AOW one of the instructors was out, so the setup was somewhat sub-optimal with 7 students and only 3 instructors - we had to alternate groups, leading to quite long days and a bit shorter dives than I would have expected.In the end, I went on an additional two dives with the owner, Cathy - which were awesome and more than made up for it though.[Plus- the baffled look of people passing by on a rainy day, asking whether you are really going into dive in this nasty weather, and then realizing that, to a diver in a drysuit, a bit of Seattle rain really doesn't make much of a difference... is just priceless :D]

Nicole Quindara: certified! Everything was really simple to book online. Go to their website and sign up for the program you're interested in. For me it was the pool session refresher course. For my husband it was the full weekend of pool and two day open water certification. They email you all the study materials you need and you schedule your sessions online. The entire process is straight forward and Seattle Scuba is very communicative.Chris and Michael were my pool instructors and I could not say enough wonderful things. They were kind, funny, and absolutely professional. They took the class through a barrage of skills in just under 4 hours. You will feel 100% safe breathing underwater after listening to and learning from these masters!Sign up right away. I promise you won't regret your time with Seattle Scuba!

Natalie Garcia: Came here for open water cert, cold water orientation and dry suit cert. Everyone I’ve come in contact with from owner, instructors and front desk support is super knowledgeable, professional, friendly and fun. I would highly recommend this place. You get the feeling they all love the sport, and safety and education is top priority while also having a good time even in the worst of visibility conditions.

Rahul: Took my open water certification course here. These people go above and beyond to ensure your safety and to ensure that you've learned properly. I feel like we could have had more social distancing in the pool sessions but besides that, A+. Would love to dive with these folks again.

Lewis Lu: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWent in for some snorkeling supplies. The owner was so friendly and extremely helpful in picking out a good fitting gear, even offered travel tips to our destination. Highly recommend.

Alana Strassfield: Our instructor, Eddie, was so nice. Can’t recommend enough.

Winona Wright: My husband and I took our open water certification course here. We loved it and plan to take our advanced and dry suit course soon! We had Cathy as our instructor. She was very knowledgeable and we felt very safe with her as she spent a lot of time on making sure we knew all the skills. All of the staff was super helpful. I would recommend Seattle Scuba to everyone! We are excited to join future dives with them.

Andrey Karayvansky: Got my regulator hose replaced in minutes. Nice people work there

David: This is by far the best dive shop and dive school in the Seattle Metro area. The staff and instructors are all super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I would hands down tell anyone to go here to either buy equipment or to aquire scuba certifications.

Katia S: . Plenty attention and coaching from divemaster John. Excellent points on buoyancy in heavier equipment. Lots of good stories. Safe and professional..

Michael Delles: I really enjoyed my classes here. The instructors are super friendly and knowledgeable. Ill definitely be coming back for more classes and to start getting my own gear

Mary Josberger: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueSeattle Scuba is a local gem. Incredibly knowledgable instructors, great courses, and amazing trip organization. I've been fortunate enough to travel with them three times, each an amazing dive experience.

Subha P: Awesome place. I rented a wet suit for underwater rescue class. Suit was very thick and warm. Perfect to keep me warm. Nice collection of gears.The thin tall guy in the front office is super nice and helpful. Thank you so much.

Rob Gillespie: Great shop. I came in to get my daughter fitted for a mask, snorkel and fins. They had sanitized masks available to fit test, and helped up get a correct fit for everything. On top of that, they worked out a package deal since we bought a number of items. Staff was helpful, knowledgable, and courteous. A great experience and I highly recommend. I look forward to using this shop again in the future!

Carlos Cruz: These folks are amazing! I got certified May 2021 and was impressed with how knowledgeable, patient, and talented everyone on the team is. Prices are fair and I can't wait to go back and register for other classes/scuba specialties.

Alex Hood: I got certified with these guys October 2019. Highly recommend. They're smart, knowledgeable and just super cool people. The price is fair and they were very helpful and added to the fun-ness of it all. They were exceptionally good teachers, and very patient. I will be going back here to get my advanced cert!

Andrey Karayvansky: I've had my dry suit course with them. I really enjoyed it. Ryan was very helpful with a BCD issue I had, helped with wide neck seal, made lots of great suggestions about my future gear.

Malcolm Veach: Took my open water certification course and was very happy with my class. Had 3 instructors for only 4 students! Went to different dive sights for our open water doves and out instructors also arranged an additional dive for our class to go on so we could use the one free day rental of our equipment that your get. Couldn't have asked for better instructors/class mates. Our head instructor was John Downing, with Tro and Max being the two helper instructors. Highly recommend getting your open water certification here!

Todd Duffin: Great place. Great people. Great knowledge. They will keep you safe and and show you how to enjoy the amazing sights in the Puget Sound and beyond.

laherbert88: I got my air canister for my float pack filled here. Great customer service and quick! I highly recommend this place!

Marcus Kusicki: The team at sound dive center are awesome, professional, friendly and fast. Renting gear was quick and easy, I booked a dive with a guide and the experience was excellent. Dive master Mike Waymire is professional and very experienced, he made the dive comfortable and fun and worked with my vacation schedule so that I could squeeze in a dive in puget sound. I would highly recommend this shop if you're vacationing in the area or if you are a local diver. Top notch!

Brian Newvine: Very helpful!

Ben Collins: I had an incredible time diving with Sound Divers. I'm an experienced diver, but this was my first time diving in the Northwest because I'm not a fan of being cold. First, Roxane at Sound Divers helped me rent the gear I needed to stay warm diving in December. I dive dry, but needed a warmer base layer than what I use elsewhere. They carry high quality gear, and their rental fleet is the nicest I've ever encountered. No worn out junk like I've found in the past. Their equipment is well cared for so you can enjoy your dive and learn what you might want to buy for yourself. Having Roxane go through my dive kit gave me a lot of confidence and relieved my anxiety about diving in cold water.We dived off Bainbridge Island, just a short drive from the shop. Mike W was my dive master and guide, he was very knowledgeable about the dive site, and the species we saw. I would recommend Mike as a Dive Master to anyone, from newer divers to experienced divers who don't know the area. Fun to talk to, a patient dive master, and a safe diver. I will absolutely dive with him again!Now that I know you can dive in the Puget Sound and stay warm, I plan to do a lot more diving in the area. Sound Divers is the place to go, and Mike and Roxanne are excellent resources if you want to see the incredible diving that the Northwest has to offer.

Javier Molina: Stopped by there to hydro test a tank and spent 3 hrs just talking to the staff. Super interactive and friendly. On pick up I had some leaks and they hooked me up with o rings for free and helped fix it. Super knowledgeable about their gear and passionate about what they do. Seem to care more about the experience than the money. This will be my go to dive shop from now on.

Jane W (Menolly): . Women's off the rack just did not fit at all.A friend had a custom DUI dry suit made, and it was amazing. So I went similarly. I went through Sound because I knew that I could trust them. We ended up working directly and closely with DUI to get me into a suit that fit perfectly. The hot pink colour is easy to see no matter how murky, and there's no unsafe pockets of extra fabric to catch air. I'd recommend them to anybody.Also, I got my killer ScubaPro Hydros Pro BC from them, yes with the pink color kit. Because of course.

Dave McNair: Great and helpful staff. Did a great job helping my kids out with some snorkeling/pool time.

Heather Jordan: Always the Best to work with

Dana Martin: The new ownership is great and has been very responsive, friendly and organized. Happy to have a local dive shop nearby that I'm glad to do business with. Looking forward to going to Roatan with the shop later this year!

PokerHouseWife: Very friendly staff and amazing selection of dive equipment! We had a family emergency that prevented us from completing the open water dive to be certified. They were more than accommodating in rescheduling it for our family. I would highly recommend Sound Dive Center for all your diving needs.

Hannah Huffstetler: . We got to see so many things on our dives -

caleb Davenport: my wife and I got open water certified here and the instructor mike was awesome. They have been good to work with as we have been diving around the sound. good sense of community and good advise on local dive spots.

Iyreland Lawson: Above and beyond service!Very welcoming, and especially accommodating, family-owned dive shop.I felt very fortunate to have gotten my certification with Sound Dive Center being that they were more than willing to work in accordance to my week by week schedule, and multitude of cancellations from getting sick. As anyone’s concern with scuba diving, safety is their top priority! There were numerous occasions where complications came up and they were able to handle it with the upmost professionalism. The curriculum is great for a basic certification and the company is even better. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

David Crawford: Awesome!

Richard Pierce: Great shop! Stupid questions answered graciously. No pressure sales. Solid advice. Nice folks! Charlotte hooked me up with the gear I needed with no rush or fuss. Fair prices too. Stop in and leave worries at the door.

Luke Smith: Always so helpful

Jessica Earp: I would rate TL Sea higher if I could. I took my PADI open water class with Dave and his team and I can't say enough good things about this operation! They are kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. I was a little nervous about the cold water and a few of the required skills, but Dave put me at complete ease with his teaching style. I was most impressed by how patient and supportive this whole crew is. They seemed just as excited to celebrate our group being certified as the students!

Mark Hitchcock: Great dive shop. Friendly service with a lot of local knowledge.

B B: Small dive shop with limited hours but an extremely knowledgeable and helpful staffer. David patiently worked with us on the selection of dive gear for a new Diver and made suggestions if he didn't have an item in stock. There is a neoprene shortage so some items simply aren't available. He did offer rental gear so we are covered for our upcoming trip. Reasonable prices & friendly atmosphere will have us coming back. Thanks David!

Brad Redmond: Won't be disappointed doing business here. Getting more and more different products and super helpful.

N L: Great dive shop. Outstanding customer support. I just loved how they took care of my family and showed us what we needed.

Erika Hansen: Without a doubt, the best dive company you could ever hope to do your certification with.Compassionate, thorough, stern but encouraging. This is the absolute best business you could go through for your scuba certification.Thank you Dave, Steve, and Phil! What an absolutely awesome experience!

Robert Rittenberg: Well equipped dive shop. Dave is very helpful and informative.

Walker Skins: Very quick tank filling service, and solid deals on equipment. Thanks TLSea!

Angela S: shop close to us, but when we asked how we could check our gear you'd have thought we asked for the moon. We were treated very coldly there. I did a lot of research and when I thought I found the right shop for us she said that she was no longer in business- but she recommended T L Sea Diving. I am SO glad she did! They are far from us, about 45 minutes one way, so I hadn't even looked at that area for potential shops. If she hadn't recommended them I'd never have found TL Sea!Tim, Dave, and Dan were so friendly. They're all very knowledgeable and very nice guys. We're AOW divers and just wanted to check our gear out for a bit before our dive trip and they were really welcoming to us.Very reasonable prices, and the shop is very clean and organized. They carry great brands, as well. We'll be back! Thank you, Tim, Dave, and Dan!

aidan w: Very great place to go, they were super helpful and kind. They fill HPA tanks just make sure you have the adaptor. They have everything you need for diving, Looks like a good selection of tanks and goggles. Definitely go here for any scuba needs.

Phil McInerney: I haven't been to this shop in over a year but was greeted and treated well by the sales associate. They have a dive club that meets twice a month for an annual fee. The store seemed very cluttered and disorganized hence why I didn't give five stars.

Alice Larson: The instructors at TL Sea teach safety first. They are knowledgeable and competent while endlessly patient and kind. The club also offers club dives and pool events to keep your skills up after you are certified, just know you are solely responsible to find out if the dive has been moved or cancelled. We experienced miscommunication with three of the four events in Dec 2018. But, we look forward to more classes and events in 2019!

Mark Hitchcock: Great dive shop atmosphere.Friendly service 👌

Bryce Johnson: Eight Diving is an incredibly well-dressed dive shop; Melissa and the rest of the staff are fantastic, and the customer service is top-notch.I purchased a lot of new gear to prepare for my GUE Fundamentals class, and they were so supportive and helpful. I cannot thank Eight Diving enough for their encouragement throughout the process.

Justin Dayton: Great people that go far beyond to help and price was very affordable.

seanmckaveney: Awesome dive shop and Melissa is the best! I was in the market for a new Drysuit and she helped me so much every step of the way. She answered all my questions, gave me great recommendations, helped with the customization/measurements, and even helped ensure that my suit got delivered early and in-time for my upcoming dive trip. I can’t wait to get up to Seattle to go diving!

Dave Pitalo: I just returned from my first trip to Seattle. While I was there, I was teaching a decompression diving course and needed a tech friendly shop that either bank or blended Trimix. I found 8 Diving mentioned on a couple different forums and gave them a shot.It was hands down one of the best experiences I've had away from shops that I'm familiar with. The staff was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of both me and my student. The prices are very reasonable and gave us a quick turn around even when we had late days in the water.Hats off to Melissa and crew for making everyone that comes through the door feel like they are part of the community and for the 5-star service!

Sarah: The staff here go above and beyond always. From drysuits and undergarments or deco bottles and doubles with trimix. Eight diving is the only shop you should go to when diving around the sound.

Warme, David_다윗 (Subaru): If you scuba dive a lot this best place to get your air fills. Great overall service.

Dan Vogel: Best community dive shop around. Amazing fill station, consistently great brands, and a staff that really cares about diving safely and well. An amazing library of diving and marine life books. New leadership even more inspiring - run by tech diving women!

William Ikeda: Super helpful and friendly staff, I took my dive class here and really appreciate the quality of people and wisdom that is passed down. I would highly recommend for any level of experience to check out the different certifications they offer.

A Petersen: Quality training, Quality equipment, very experienced and knowledgeable staff! Wow wait until you see the shop, beautiful showroom, clean and busy repair facility, and pretty much any gas you need they have it!

Josh S: Myra is so helpful and friendly. I’ll be coming back many times!

Christopher Anderson: Melissa was extremely helpful in making some neophyte choices and the prices felt about what I had expected.

Andrey Karayvansky: It's a nice store. I like that they openly share pros and cons of their products, and overall the staff is nice.

Kelly Davis: Love hanging out with their crew! And I LOVE the Santi drysuit they sell there. Awesome drysuit!
