Skin-N-Scuba Dive Shop Inc

I joined Sam and his team on a trip to Roatan, Honduras back in 2013 and haven’t stopped diving with them since. Simply put, they are a first class dive shop focused on safety and continuing education. They have as much experience training and diving with brand-​new drivers as advanced levels. The entire staff does a great job of supporting and encouraging divers in an environment appropriate for learning, and everyone has a lot of fun together! They travel frequently throughout the year to the best dive locations in the world, and they always assemble great groups of people. My highest recommendation.

The current owner, Sam Rutherford, bought the shop a few years ago and has really turned things around. The store staff and instructors are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and honest.
I’ve been a diver for a long time but wanted to get my son certified. Skin n’ scuba was my first choice for the job. I did a dive trip through them last year and was impressed with their communications and attention to detail. For a week long trip to go smoothly with a large group of people (I think there were about 60 of us) indicates an enormous amount of work behind the scenes.
My son & I are going on a trip with them again this year and I am confident it will be just as great as last year.
Knowledgeable, friendly, fair, safe & fun — Who could ask for more?

This is the best scuba shop in the metro. Huge selection of quality dive gear and honest people. I guess the previous management sucked but I’ve only been there recently and was thoroughly impressed. They are servicing my gear… so I guess I should say good things about them so they don’t screw me (j/k)…and they actually called to ask my permission to do something rather than just press on and charge me for it later. I had a small hole in the bladder of my BC and they called me to let me know and see what I wanted to do. That’s awesome customer service I think.
The only bad thing about this place is its location. It’s hard to find in Independence.
I’ll be back for sure… and hopefully will go diving with them down at the lake one of these weekends.
