I went out for a guided dive with George today at Old Ponquogue Bridge, and he did a terrific job! I'd heard one good navigation technique was to run a wreck reel from the old bridge if you intend to also swim in the direction of the new bridge. I had no experience running a reel, so George brought his, showed me how to tie it off to a piling or rock, and let me practice several times so that I understood how to do it properly. He also went out of his way to point out little critters. There were butterflyfish that had ventured north from tropical waters, a fluke, beautiful red and green algaes

I recently got my Open Water Certification with Hampton Dive Center, and it was a truly eye opening, and professional experience. I knew nothing of diving other than what I have heard from others' experiences. My instructor Julie, was the best of the best. From taking her time to explain things, and giving simple tricks to remember everything important, along with getting me setup with the proper gear, along with thorough explanations. of their functionality. I am looking forward to the diving experiences that are waiting in the future. Thanks again Julie, and Hampton Dive Center!

After going to the dive shop just to pick up a small part for a piece of equipment, my husband and I were so impressed with Ditte, Randy and the other employees that we decided to purchase all of my dive equipment from them. This included the BCD, regulator, fins, dive computer and ankle weights. Ditte helped me choose equipment that fit me perfectly and met my needs. Their equipment is top notch and their staff are very knowledgeable. She also had me return for a pool session so that she could demonstrate all the features of the equipment and help me find the proper amount and distribution of

The Hampton Dive Center was the perfect spot to do my open water dives. Our instructors were great and the Hampton Springs facility was a solid training area (and warmer and more convenient than Dutch Springs, PA). We lucked out with perfect weather and pretty good visibility. After completing the course, I feel very confident about future dives.
Julie was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. There aren't many options to finish SCUBA certification in the area, but this was hands down the best experience.

I was eager to finally take my PADI certification course and called a few different places to find out pricing and schedules. The overwhelming welcome I felt just through my first phone call to Hampton Dive Center was a strong indication that I needed to come here. Julie, handled my transition from the website and instructed me on how to handle the elearning process where I would be taking my self paced PADI course. She pointed out some nuances that even though I am a techie would have been very annoying if I hadn't been told. Once I finished the course (and I received a few phone calls from the

Hi
Like most people I started out diving in the Caribbean, fell in love, got my open water certification and then... life got in the way for a while. When my brother's wedding came up in Mexico I knew I wanted to go diving but also knew I needed a refresher which is when I stumbled upon Hampton dive. The staff went above and beyond. Not only did we blow through the refresher with their experienced and knowledgeable staff but they also knew about dives to look for in the area and expanded into advanced techniques specific to the sites I'd be seeing. It really made trip incredibly memorable

I have been diving for 13 years now. I began coming to Hampton Dive Center 7 years ago. The staff is very knowledgeable and will take the time to help and explain anything to do with diving.
They service all of my equipment annually in a fair and timely manor. I trust them fully. In this sport, a poorly serviced piece of equipment can end in tragedy. I know the staff at Hampton Dive treats all equipment as if it is their own.

I've currently had two interactions with this place. The first time, the owner/manager (I'm not entirely sure which he is), an older gentleman, kindly helped me pick out the equipment I needed, and even pointed out some used gear in my size (I'm pretty obviously college-aged, so any funds saved, are a plus). Our transaction went well, but he didn't give me a receipt (something that somehow slipped my mind until a later date). Fast forward a month or so, I realized an item of the used gear is actually uncomfortable for me, and return hoping to exchange the gear for store credit

This place is great. I've been numerous times during the off-season and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, nice, and have a true passion for diving. Too often dive shops just want to sell you expensive equipment and things you don't really need. This is not the case here.
They are very proud of the whole facility and should be. The pool and equipment are very clean and look to be in great shape.
I've compared their prices with other dive shops and online and they seem to be competitive. Some things may be a little higher and some a little lower. The overall
