Where nerds meet the ocean — Dive Nerd Outfitters brings small-group instruction, handpicked Florida-ready gear, and local spring dive charters to the greater Orlando area, one crystal-clear dive at a time.
Tucked in Altamonte Springs just north of Orlando, Dive Nerd Outfitters operates out of a single, intentionally small shop at 510 Douglas Ave, serving divers across Seminole County and Central Florida. Local charters head to the region's celebrated freshwater spring systems — primarily Ginnie Springs and Blue Grotto — where exceptional visibility and stable conditions make for year-round diving. A dedicated charter calendar keeps the schedule current, and the shop also organizes dive and adventure travel to destinations beyond Florida. The shop's defining character is its unhurried, student-first approach. Class sizes are kept deliberately small, instructors work at each diver's pace, and every element of the program — from gear selection to open-water checkout dives — is calibrated for real Florida spring conditions rather than resort shortcuts. Introductory experiences like the free Experience Scuba Clinics and Kids' Bubble Makers Classes lower the barrier for first-timers, while a full ladder of PADI courses (including freediving through PADI Advanced Freediver level) serves divers looking to advance. The retail side stocks a carefully curated range of gear — masks, fins, BCDs, regulators, dive computers, and wetsuits — all chosen with Central Florida diving in mind. Rental equipment (BCDs, regulators, wetsuits, tanks), air fills, and nitrox fills round out the services offered on-site.
