Underwater World Inc

Underwater World is my go to Dive Shop. Have been for 17 years. We have purchased equipment. Had equipment serviced. Taken classes. Gone on a trip with them. They offer exceptional service and great prices, even compared to the internet. They know the equipment and can recommend what is best for you. They don’t oversell or over hype. Just fair and honest advice. Often saving us money. We have been happy with all our dealings with them.

Got certified here several years ago and the trainers were great. they made you feel at ease and we’re there to help you every step of the way. Getting certifies through Underwaterworld was exciting and fun. The classroom training taught me things I would have never thought you needed to know. I highly recommend getting certified through Underwaterworld! Plus they have great scuba trips through the store!

Dive Nazis! I couldn’t agree more with the reviewer who said the instructors are awful. Perhaps they’re skilled divers themselves, but they seem to be unable to impart that knowledge to others. Condescending, confusing, ill-​tempered, with verbal and written communication not up to that of most middle schoolers. Run the other direction!

great shop, great instruction. my fam’s been customers here since my dad got certified in the 70s.

This is slightly shameful to admit, but I decided to go with Underwater World Inc because it offered the least expensive rescue diver course in the Philly area. I know, I KNOW rescue diver class is something you should NOT to skimp out on, like wedding photography, smoke detectors, and car inspection… not sure what I was thinking.
Thankfully, Underwater World turned out to be legit. I have yet to rescue drowning orphans, but this dive shop helped me become a more skilled and conscientious diver.
The shop itself is located outside of Philly. I didn’t mind the drive because there was a Sonic on the way. One thing to note is that this is a NAUI dive shop. From my experience, PADI and NAUI are pretty interchangeable, but in case you care.
Their rental equipments were well-​maintained, and the instructor, Denny, took his time to make sure the students understood the materials. He’s a seasoned, well-​travelled diver, so he was fun to chat with.
Overall, it’s a solid dive shop to dive with. They go to Dutch Springs for check out dives, so it’s not a bad idea to tag along with if you are new in the area. Happy diving!
