Common Questions

Do you have a dive shop I can walk into in Austin?

No — and that is deliberate. We are a mobile dive operation, so instead of paying for a storefront you get instruction at your own pool and gear ordered online. Lessons, equipment and air fill cards all come to you.

Can I buy scuba gear and get air fills through you?

Yes. We stock masks, fins, computers, wetsuits, regulators and BCDs chosen for Texas diving, and we sell air fill cards in 5 and 10 packs for your own tanks. Browse the shop or ask us what fits before you buy.

Do you really come to me in Austin?

Yes — we bring all the gear and instruction to your pool or a local Austin aquatic center, anywhere from downtown to the Hill Country.

Where are the open-water checkout dives?

Right at Lake Travis (Windy Point Park) — Austin's home dive site, just minutes from town. Clear water, easy access, and a great place to earn your C-card.
