Hampton Dive Center

Great shop and good staff as well and they have lots of equipment and have a training pool there

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 center to make sure I would be finished with the course before my pool dives would begin), I went to the center for my first pool dive. I was greeted by Ditte who was SO Nice and informative and the owner, Randy helped me pick out my mask! It was just so evident that they were passionate about diving and wanted me to have a great experience with my class and with diving for that matter. The instructor Jason was SPECTACULAR. He was so calm, so intuitive with everyone in the class and most importantly he REALLY explained every step and made sure the entire class was comfortable before we moved on. He also was incredibly patient with the people in the class that were taking a little extra time, or were confused. He followed the PADI guidelines exactly, and referenced them throughout the course. The pool was great, the experience was amazing and I have to share that if you want to get certified to dive, this is the place. They also have organized trips to other countries and local dives you can join (Which I plan on doing!). If you want an exceptional experience getting certified to Dive, come here. Thank you Hampton Dive Center!

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.

Best dive center for 100 miles in every direction. Knowledgeable staff, well-​stocked with a wide selection of products. What they don’t have, they can get quickly. Excellent service on regulators.

Great place. Knowledgeable staff. Came here for a refresher before heading to Mexico on vacation, they turned me on to some great spots in mexico. Decided to do my advanced open water when I got back and they turned me on to some great places locally as well. I plan on joining the group and getting my own gear next season plus taking an enriched air course

Great place. Got my spear fishing gear here and they were really patient helping me. They have specialized equipment you can’t find in any sporting good store. I highly recommend them.

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 selection is wide.
Dive safe!
