Giant Stride is the best in RI. Warren and Red are super knowledgeable and their selection of gear is great. If they don’t have what you need they will not hesitate to order it for you. There are an awesome array of local charters and ointernational trips offered annually. If you’re a RI diver you need to check Giant Stride out 😎

Great equipment, all top notch, high quality brands like Hollis, OMS, Scuba Pro, Waterproof, Mares etc. No junk sold here. Red is great guy, Warren too, they are always there to answer any of my questions and provide insight on equipment purchases. I'm still using almost 100% of the original gear I purchased such as my Bare 7mm Wetsuit, Halcyon Infinity BCD and Shearwater Petrel 2 computer and much more that I bought 4 years ago and all of it, with good maintenance and proper cleaning look just as nice as they did the day I bought them with 200+ dives on them. Best dive store in RI, pay them a

Giant stride has an outdoor pickup and drop off area which i think is a great way to deal with the current situation. They were all very helpful and professional. It was busy on the first day i visited here and i still had my tanks filled faster than other places. At $8 a fill i see myself coming here for a long time.

Huge gear selection, with excellent and professional service. I’ve seen many good dive shops in my 20+ years of diving (and some bad ones too), and this one is by far one of the best. You will find everything needed under one roof – generous top-quality equipment selection, great service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, training and gear for beginner level all the way through the very advanced mixed gas deep technical diving. Awesome people and a great place to meet good dive buddies who actually dive, for every level of diving! There are always some fun underwater activities planned, like

Best dive shop I've been to in MA and RI.
Very well stocked, with gear ranging from good quality to top of the line stuff.
I've bought most of my gear here, I have it serviced here, and trust Red and crew to service it.
Henry 'Red' Godin, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, super experienced diver, no-nonsense guy. He takes pride in providing top-notch service and quality gear; he dives what he sells, from gear to air.
