Honesty Culler

This dive shop IS THE BEST ONE IN THE AREA! The owner has a lot of good knowledge on different scuba related things and helped me pick out all my scuba gear that I ended up falling in love with when I went with them on my advanced open water dives in Jupiter!

Hannah Smith

This is the BEST dive shop around! The owner and staff are super helpful and friendly. They are ready to answer questions and help you find the gear you need, not necessarily what is most costly. There is a wonderful selection of gear, they do quality repairs and the most trustworthy instruction!

Honesty Yeah

This is a GREAT scuba shop!! They had a huge selection of scuba gear and the owner was very nice. Definitely going to book some trips with them soon! :)

I recently got my open water certification through Black Flag Dive Center. John is by far the best instructor you could find. He has so much patience and knows exactly how to help each student learn the required skills needed. He is very passionate about what he does and cares about his customers. Everyone at the shop is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I had such an incredible experience becoming certified and I can’t wait for the upcoming dive trip at Blue Heron Bridge.

Hunter Thomas

I can proudly say that black flag dive shop is my go to dive shop. The owner and staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful in both choosing the proper gear and teaching new, as well as experienced divers underwater skills. I would highly recommend Black Flag Dive Center to anyone who enjoys scuba diving.

R. Martin Clewis

John and his crew run a nice operation. It’s good too to still see Jim from the scuba haven days around for some of the service work. They will take care of you.

Emily Powell

John is fantastic. As an instructor, you won’t find one more thorough and patient. His partner, Honessty is the same way. Their dive trips are well organized. It’s really easy to enjoy the dive experience when you know that the details are taken care of. Black Flag Dive Center is our favorite group of divers by far!

Matt Wurthner

Helpful and Knowledgeable staff. Great prices, and stock of Scubapro gear. They service mine and my daughter's gear yearly. They also have great communication on trips, classes and events.

The place for all your scuba needs! Got my Advanced Open Water and Nitrox certifications through Black Flag recently and had one of the best underwater experiences of my life. There's great staff that can help you with your individual needs and take the time to answer any questions. John is an excellent instructor and is committed to making sure his students can enjoy the experience while becoming skilled, safe, and responsible divers.

Daniel Tolbert

Jordan Stump

I had the best experience at a Scuba Dive Shop near USF in Tampa, Fl. Tab and I just moved to Tampa and my gf is finishing her Scuba Certifications through a dive shop in Tampa. The owner is an experienced diver and focused on finding the best flippers for my girlfriends needs and experience. His partner is also a diver, we met her and will say they are a happy, genuine couple that are fun to be around and can trust. The other dive shops would always push the high ticket items instead of what is best for my gf. They were honest, no sales pitch or upsell. Best Dive Shop in Tampa.

Samuel Armstrong

Rick Ayers

Jon Collett

I was in town for business and killing time so I stopped by. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely be back when I’m back down this way

Scuba haven has a decent amount of gear for being such a small shop. I've been there a handful of times but each experience has been very good, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The shop itself is a little bit hard to spot, it's on the end of a strip of stores, not facing the street, so it's easy to miss driving by it. If you have any questions or need gear they will be happy to help and work with you to find the right fit. Also if you get the chance, sign up for their email announcements. They sometimes have great deals on dives locally and sell things like the Epcot dive at Disney and package dives at exotics locations. I haven't done the package dives but the prices seem extremely good for what's included.

Thomas Roles III

Amazing shot with fair prices and great customer service!!

Nonna Stutzman

I went in to buy gear for my class not knowing what to get and Jim gave me his full attention and helped me find everything I needed. He gave me a lot of options and was very knowledgeable about everything in his shop. I ended up getting a very good deal and was very comfortable with what I bought. I definitely recommend going to this shop, especially as a beginner.

Chris Danner

Excellent dive shop. Jim, the store owner, and staff are great. They are very helpful with equipment recommendations. It is obvious they have a passion for the under water world and are eager to share their knowledge and love of diving.

Charlie Gipson

I started doing business with Scuba Haven in the mid 90's. Jim and his crew are helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile for you. Great selection of gear, and reasonable prices too. Highly recommended!

Blaine Sharp

Joe Martelli

Great store with friendly service

Alexander

Great community. The owners are a great couple to chat with about the topic!

Mike Leibowitz

What a great store! The salesman wouldn't let me leave without my trying on every piece of equipment. EXCELLENT SERVICE! Be Careful, the GPS, (maps and Waze) took us to the wrong place. Watch for the street numbers. It's on the eastbound side of Fowler

Rob Loomis

I found this shop 20 years ago while going to school at USF. Knowledgeable staff, great selection are just some of the high points. When it came time to have my own kids get licensed - this is where I wanted them to get their training. I trust this shop and you can too.

Reid Baker

Great Experience! Best dive center in Tampa!

Dylan George

Super friendly and helpful staff..... gave us great information on getting started into the sport and bought what we needed the 2nd time we visited a couple of weeks later. Will definately make this our go to place for gear.
