Scuba Dive Shop FAQs

Can I try scuba diving before getting certified?

Absolutely! Our Discover Scuba program lets beginners experience scuba diving in our heated indoor pool with a certified instructor. You'll learn basic diving skills, get familiar with scuba equipment, and experience breathing underwater before committing to a full certification course.

Where will I do my open water check out dives?

Open water weekend will be held at The Scuba Ranch in Terrell, TX (the ScubaRanch.com). Scuba Adventures has a private pavilion, custom dock and underwater training platforms at The Scuba Ranch that are in use every weekend. During your dives you’ll find a “shark,” sunken planes and sunken boats.

The scuba park has been built and maintained to serve student divers across North Texas and Oklahoma. The park charges $25 per day for entry and $10 per tank to refill air. You can expect to use at least 4 refills between Saturday and Sunday.

Want to get certified in winter? Ask our staff about getting certified at Spring Lake at The Meadows Center in San Marcos, Texas, where the water is 72 degrees year-round!

What scuba gear do I need for my Open Water certification?

You'll need to bring your own personal gear to training: a mask, fins, boots, and snorkel. We call it personal gear because these items need to fit you just right.

A poorly fitting mask or pair of fins can ruin a dive, so we take the time to help you find the right fit. If something isn't working during training in our onsite pool, we can swap it out and find something that works better for you.

Your personal gear can last for years, and it's perfect for snorkeling, too. So it's worth investing in a proper fit!

We recommend visiting our scuba shop several days before your first class for a personal fitting. Waiting until the first day of training doesn't give us enough time to give your gear the attention it deserves.

Can I buy, rent, or service scuba equipment at Scuba Adventures?

Absolutely! Our scuba dive shop is here to help with your equipment needs, whether you're buying your first set of gear, renting equipment for an upcoming dive, or bringing in your own gear for maintenance and repairs.

We also offer air and Nitrox tank fills, so you can get your equipment ready before heading back into the water.

I can’t recommend this place enough. After moving to the area, I read a lot of reviews and emailed several dive shops before going with Scuba Adventures. I choose them because they were the most responsive and helpful. The owners seem to not only be great divers but have business backgrounds. This is the most focus on customer service I have seen in a dive shop. Good inventory with all of the brands I could ask for. On point with their pricing. If you do find a better price they will work with you.

I ended up taking the Rescue Diver course and had a blast! I just got back from a dive trip with them at Lake Travis, very enjoyable. They also have one of the only indoor pools (18 ft.) in the area.

At Scuba ranch they have a big spot that is one of the easiest to get to and a nice pavilion for training. They are right next to the air refill station, which I love! Family and friends are welcome at the ranch. Good community there on weekends and you'll most likely find a dive buddy for a fun dive.

Scuba Adventures and their staff are beyond amazing! Their Plano store has a very wide selection of equipment and the pool is 18ft deep! Their Scuba Ranch location is amazing and still growing, with plenty of room and seating. I’m a fairly new diver and all the instructors do an amazing job of making me feel safe and secure deep underwater. Their staff is always very helpful and I can’t wait to continue my diving knowledge and certificates with them.

Jason Domenden March - 2020

Found a great diving shop for all my gear. Been living here in texas for awhile and this shop has just what I needed. Really recommend scuba adventure for all your gear.

Emily Winnenberg March - 2020

Went in last week to pick out goggles for an upcoming trip— loved the selection of masks they had available! Ended up picking out a hot pink pair to shamelessly match the other accessories I’d picked out.

Matt K March - 2020

The new owners are the greatest! Their positive approach towards people and the sport of diving are huge part of the reason I love the sport. When they told me they were going to open a dive shop; I knew without a doubt I was going to be their customer. I have taken several dive adventures with them and other scuba diving misfits, and plan on taking many more.

Martin Garvie February - 2020

Decided to revisit this shop since it is under new management. Already impressed with the facility improvements - by far the best training pool I have seen. Looking forward to the roll out of the full training curriculum - will be able to go from open water certified through all kinds of technical specialties. Good dive gear selection. Owners really have a great vision for promoting scuba diving and ocean adventures.

Don Champlin July - 2020

This is the shop with the most experienced and competent personnel in the metroplex. Their commitment to safe, enjoyable and professional instruction is obvious from the first time you enter the store and meet the staff and owners. I have dove with most of them over the years and know first hand the love of diving they have and now share with the community as the new team. They are knowledgeable and up to date with the latest dive info. Don't miss a chance to dive with them.

Julie L February - 2020

In January 2020, Scuba Adventures was purchased by divers that were affiliated with a different scuba store. These same divers taught me to dive, and got me to fall in love with scuba diving (despite me being pretty scared to start). I trust them, enough that I opted to take a trip with them to Cozumel for diving in 2019. It was one of the best trips of my life, and now I'm already signed up for their Costa Rica dive trip in 2020 with Scuba Adventures. I haven't visited the shop yet, but I can 100% vouch for the new owners--they are knowledgeable divers, good people, and all around amazing.

Jeremiah Perez May - 2020

Owners and staff are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Allowed me to try backplate and wing set up in the pool. They did not pressure me to buy anything, but gave great information on products and financing options. All in all great staff and would recommend them to anyone!!!

Eric Coulombe August - 2020

Great customer service, from the owners to the employees. Very knowledgeable about everything and anything pertaining to scuba diving. The instructors are highly educated and experienced in scuba diving. They put you through real life scenarios, so you know and understand what to do in the event something happens while you are under water. My family and I learned a lot about scuba diving in a very short amount of time. We will definitely keep taking additional courses with Scuba Adventures as we progress. We definitely reccomend Scuba Adventures to anyone wanting to learn and get scuba diving certified.
