Conservation
Keeping the wrecks wild
Every season our members pull hundreds of pounds of fishing line and debris off the wrecks and the pier. Cleanup dives are free, and every one earns points and a badge.

Reviews
Divers say it better
★★★★★“
Captain Mike's knowledge of the U-85 was incredible, and he kept us safe while explaining every piece of her history. Best wreck dive in fifteen years of diving. ”
★★★★★“
Sarah was patient and thorough and made me feel confident in the water. I got my certification card on my phone the same afternoon. ”
★★★★★“
The app told me my regulator was due, I dropped it off, and I watched the job go from the bench to ready. It breathes like new and the price was fair. ”
Questions
Good to know
Do I need to be certified to dive with you?
No. Discover Scuba is a pool session for complete beginners, and Open Water Diver gets you certified in three weekends.
What certification do the wreck charters need?
Most of our wrecks sit at 85–120 feet, so we ask for Advanced and recommend Nitrox. The app checks your certification when you book.
What if the weather cancels a charter?
Offshore conditions change fast. If we cancel, your booking moves to credit or a full refund — your choice, right in the app.
Do I have to use the app?
No — you can book by phone or at the counter. The app just makes reminders, waivers and service tracking easier.
How long does regulator service take?
Usually 3–5 days. You can follow the job in the app and we notify you the moment it is ready.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes, in any amount, in the shop or online. They work for courses, charters, gear and service.
