Oceanic Ventures, Inc

"I stopped in to find some gear for myself and son. I am from Puerto Rico but despite learning that and knowing I might only be a one time customer Anne was so helpful and knowledgeable that it was a joy to shop there. This is an old-style store packed with high quality inventory and manned by an owner who knows her business and gear. They had everything I needed and the experience was 100X better than a chain or online shopping. I’ll mail order from Anne now and stop back in when I am in town."

"I highly recommend Ann at Oceanic Ventures for all your diving needs. She chartered a fantastic dive trip for me and my daughter in the Cayman Islands. The dive charter was a small group/very personal operation. We did 5 trips, and on 2 of them my Daughter and I had our own dive guide. We dove a shipwreck and saw all kinds of marine life including a hammerhead and eagle rays. It was the trip of a lifetime for me. Thanks again Ann."

"Just completed a dive trip with Eric and a few staff members. I had some equipment problems (not related to the dive shop) and the staff at OVI went above and beyond to contact the vendor to send me the needed parts and hand carried them overseas to repair my equipment and enjoy my dives. Excellent service and nice to know OVI cares that everyone has a wonderful dive trip. It’s people that make the difference."

"This place is a real gem, a diamond in the rough. As mentioned earlier, the entrance is a little hard to find -- it's around back on the second floor, and the store is small. But, they've managed to stock an impressive variety of equipment for both beginners and more experienced divers. The prices seemed competitive, but it was easily the incredibly friendly and amazing staff that won me over. They answered all of my questions, looked through their sale rack for cheaper options, and chatted with me about my upcoming dive trip. This was all during my first visit to the store. For me, this place epitomizes your friendly local dive shop."

"I have been a scuba diver since 1988. Oceanic Ventures is the by far best dive shop I have ever been to. I was referred to Oceanic Ventures 2.5 years ago by a long time friend and have been completely satisfied since. They have the best rates on dive equipment anywhere and have a fantastic inventory of parts and supplies. They offer regular dive trips at great rates and I am about to leave for Belize with them. If you are looking for a shop that can take you all the way from a beginner to an advanced rebreather diver this is the place for you. Stop by and have a look. I guarantee you will have a friend for life."
