Deep South Scuba

"Scuba is fun! Nice and helpful folks. Very knowledgeable about everything and happy to answer any questions I had. I was looking to get certified in time for a trip and they made it happen. Highly recommended!"

"It's been approx. 25 years since I put on diving gear and 33 years since I was certified. My friend's son had a jet boat that sank in a storm at a local lake. Thankfully it was only in about 12 feet of water and still tied to a pier. We went by and rented a tank, a BC, and an octopus (as most of my Dacor gear was out of date and couldn't be used). The lady at the dive shop was very helpful in getting me the equipment that I needed for the dive. We had successful day raising and recovering that boat from the bottom of Lake Providence! Thanks, Deep South Scuba!!"

"Did my open water diver certification with Deep South Scuba many years ago. Carla and everyone there are so kind and knowledgeable. Even after having moved to Chicago, I still keep them on the top of my list of dive shops that I’ll always come back to when I’m back in Jackson or call for expert advice on my next dive vacation! Could not recommend them enough for anything that you need when it comes to all things scuba."

"I love this dive shop. They are the only platinum Scubapro dive shop in the Jackson area. The other dive shops in Jackson are good but I really love this one. The service and depth of knowledge they have is deep and transparent. I am a certified rescue diver and am working towards becoming an dive instructor and eventually owning my own dive shop and school one day. As I have spent time researching my gear to purchase they have been so patient and committed to making sure I have the best experience and get exactly what will serve me best throughout my passion and part time career. I research a lot into what I choose and do and I can tell you this shop knows their stuff. I am planning to do everything I do through them. They just make you feel like family and are just so real. Personality is huge in the world of diving. In every stage of life in diving you need to be a down to earth person to be successful. This shop gets it. They are so easy to talk to and learn from and it translates into having an amazing diving experience. I have found the shop I do business with and the shop I want to dive with. If you are new and looking to get started in diving rest assured you found the right shop. They are amazing. They will walk you comfortably through each step to becoming a well trained and confident diver. Plus, scubapro is my favorite manufacturer of dive gear because of how well it's designed, made, and the quality and performance I've grown to demand from my gear. They are the only platinum scuba pro dealer in the area. So that was a huge win in my books. I was on the fence about coming to talk to them after reading one of the comments on yelp. The only thing I can think of is that she had a bad day and brought that drama in with her. These people are like family and they are direct and straight with you just like family should be. If you ask them a question they will give you a straight and well researched answer. You get what you give in relationships and a good dive shop is no different. If you give them the respect they deserve as human beings they will absolutely give it back. Diving is about finding the beauty in the world beneath the waves and sharing that experience with others. If you hate the world you most likely won't like divers. We are positive people with optimistic outlooks on life. I hope this helps others in their search for their right diving shop and school. Stay salty."

"I brought my Boy Scout Venturing Crew 334 here for a free try scuba class and we loved it! They were nice and friendly during the teaching and booking experience! We are hoping to go back another time for a scuba certification class in the future! I would definitely recommend going to try scuba with them!"
