About Us

We're passionate about one thing... Your success

What that means for our customers is we have and will remain available to consistently provide top-notch training, state of the art equipment sales and services, and superbly organized travel options that accommodate certified divers and bubble watchers alike. Divers Den not only provides services to recreational divers, but to professionals as well. We’ve supported and trained members of the public safety dive community and professional underwater service providers from engineers, marine construction companies, boat and pool cleaning providers and independent scuba instructors. In fact, with two SDI instructor trainers on staff, you will find that many scuba instructors, both locally and quite a few you may meet abroad, were trained by Divers Den!
