Thanks to this team and my excellent teacher Randy, I’m on my quest to fulfill my dream of becoming a mermaid!!!! I feel extremely confident and am ready to dive in Cancun next month!! Thanks so much!! Highly recommend!
I have been a certified diver for 36 years . All my training was through Rec Diving. By far the best dive shop I have been to. Their love of diving shows. All 3 of my kids were trained by Rec Diving. They treat their clients like family. They have planned many dive trips for my family and all have been great. I’m a big fan of Rec Diving.
These people are very nice. I took a private snorkel lesson and my instructor was very patient with me and really helped me gain confidence with the equipment.
I love Rec Diving. My friend and I both did our Beginner Scuba classes and our Open Water certification through Rec Diving. Our experience as students was fantastic; the knowledge level of the store staff and our instructor was very high. I love Rec diving because everyone is so nice, you always feel safe and looked out for, and it’s super fun.
Greatest dive shop in the world! Staff is incredible.
Great dive shop with 37 years of experience, a knowledgeable staff and the best service manager in the business. I’ve been diving for 21 years and this has always been my home shop for dive gear and travel. You can’t do better.
Genuinely the best dive shop in southeastern Michigan. I have been around the dive shop block a time or two and it is extremely rare to find a shop that balances excellent technical knowledge, a fun and relaxed atmosphere, safety, environmental stewardship and only the best equipment (good prices, too). That means this shop is perfect for every level of diver.
I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else for any travel, scuba, or snorkeling needs! Everyone here is amazing.The line of gear that they have here is top of the line. I highly recommend coming here for anything relating to scuba, snorkeling, or travel.
