Space coast dive center, especially Lori, are the best. Nothing but a great experience and always so helpful. I would recommend them above all others, trust me on this one.

Space Coast Dive Center is a full service dive shop and the staff are amazing. They are quick to help you with any gear you want, need, or just have questions about. They’re all very friendly and professional They offer a variety of classes to meet anyone’s needs. I recently took the Open Water Diver course and had Morgan Jones as my dive instructor. Morgan was amazing, he was very detailed in his instructing and made sure to cover everything so everyone in the class understood. Morgan took time to work with each person to ensure they had each skill down and understood what we were doing and why we were doing things a certain way. The concern for his students and his dedication to the sport are amazing and I would recommend to anyone if you have the opportunity to take a class with Morgan as the instructor you should definitely take it. Thank you Space Coast Dive and Morgan Jones for introducing the underwater world to me.

My wife and I decided to do scuba diving on a whim as something cool that we could both try out. So far our experience with both the shop and the community has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone we have interacted with has been very knowledgeable in gear selection and passionate about sharing their own scuba journey. As for our instructor I would highly recommend Morgan for numerous reasons. The first being he is well versed in scuba procedure and safety. At no point did he take any unnecessary risk with our class. He doesn't rush students either, allowing them ample time to practice skills until they are comfortable. Outside of that he was funny and very approachable. Overall my wife and I feel that we got our money's worth for the ssi open water certification and I would gladly go through the space coast dive center again. A quick note, purchasing all your gear up front can be a bit expensive, but the shop does have a variety of options with varying prices. You don't need to buy everything up front either since the shop provides you with a lot of the gear for the certification process.

I just got open water certified with Jason. I had an absolute blast and feel extremely comfortable to dive now. Lori is the sweetest, thanks for having my back girl. Great shop and amazing people.

I took the Open Water Diver Course with Space Coast Dive Center and it was a great experience! Over the course of two weekends, I went from knowing nothing about diving - to being a confident and safe diver. Morgan Jones was a patient, calm, and fun instructor - I highly recommend him to anyone interested in SCUBA, even with no prior knowledge or experience.
