Operated by Ski/Scuba Center
SSI affiliated operator

From their heated indoor pool in Knoxville, Ski/Scuba Center has been connecting divers with the underwater world — whether that's a quarry on a summer Sunday or a week-long reef dive in Bonaire.

Ski/Scuba Center is a full-service dive shop based in Knoxville, Tennessee, offering everything from beginner certification courses to organized international dive travel. Their facility features a heated indoor pool, a comfortable classroom, a well-stocked dive shop with the latest equipment and gear, equipment repair, and air and Nitrox fills. Instructors collectively bring over 50 combined years of diving experience, and courses can be scheduled privately, semi-privately, or in group settings to suit individual needs. On the travel side, Ski/Scuba Center organizes group dive trips to destinations including Bonaire, Cozumel, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Roatan, the Philippines, the Bahamas, and West Palm Beach. Local summer group outings to area quarries — dubbed "Summer Sunday Fundays" — give divers of all experience levels a chance to explore new sites closer to home. The shop also carries a curated selection of dive gear, including Stream2Sea reef-safe sunscreen products. For new divers, the SSI Open Water Diver course runs from pool sessions at the shop through open-water training dives at a local quarry, with class costs starting at $595.00. Certified divers can join the shop's group travel calendar, which runs year-round to multiple international destinations, or take advantage of flexible local dive opportunities throughout the region.
