Aquatic Sports

Dive in with confidence — Aquatic Sports puts certified scuba professionals on the shop floor, an on-site heated pool at your disposal for gear testing, and a calendar of local dive events and adventures ready to book.

Aquatic Sports in Portland, Oregon serves as a full home base for local divers, operating both a retail shop and an SSI-affiliated training program. Scuba education runs from Open Water certification through skills update courses, with classroom work delivered via SSI digital learning and in-water sessions conducted in the shop's on-site heated indoor pool — a feature reviewers note is unique among local dive schools. Open water certification dives have been conducted at Hood Canal, according to customer reviews on the page. Beyond training, the shop stocks a wide inventory of dive, snorkeling, and free diving equipment from brands including Apeks, Aqualung, Atomic Aquatics, Akona, Hollis, Mares, Garmin, Oceanic, and Reef. Customers can test select masks, snorkels, and fins in the heated indoor pool before purchasing, and all snorkeling gear is covered by a price match guarantee when bought from authorized dealers. Equipment maintenance, repair, and rental services are also offered. Aquatic Sports organizes events and dive trips bookable through a trip calendar, and the shop offers free diving classes by appointment covering breath control, safe entry and descent techniques, and body positioning. Swim lessons for children and adults are available as well, and a dive club operates out of the shop. Only certified scuba professionals staff the sales floor, providing expert guidance on equipment fit and selection.
