Dave and Melissa geared up and ready to go!

Over the past few years, Scuba shops in Philadelphia have been on the decline. Some of the greatest shops in the city, such as the Diving Bell, have closed. Dave and Melissa felt the need to carry on the tradition of fun and excitement in the underwater world for the people of Philadelphia.

Please let us introduce you to the magic of SCUBA. There is plenty of local diving as well as diving a few hours drive away, and of course there is always diving in tropical destinations. You don’t need to be an Olympic swimmer and you don’t need to be wealthy to enjoy diving.

We offer a wide variety of classes, gear and spearguns to suit your needs. Stop by the shop, call or email us with any questions. We are here to help you with all of your diving needs!

Dog Friendly shop!
