Bob's Scuba Shop Inc

Ontario Great Lakes, Canada

The team at Bob’s Scuba Shop Inc are absolute legends if you’re looking to get serious about your PADI certs in the Great Lakes. We’ve always found their crew to be genuinely passionate, which makes a huge difference when you're wrestling with drysuits in colder water. This isn’t your typical Caribbean dive shop; it’s a proper Great Lakes operation, meaning they understand the unique demands of diving shipwrecks and quarries. We love that they’re a PADI 5 Star IDC centre. It means they’re geared up for everything from your Open Water right through to instructor level, and that high standard filters down to all their courses. If you’re thinking about making a career out of diving, or just want the most comprehensive training available, this is where we’d send you. We’d suggest chatting with them about their local wreck dives; there’s something special about dropping onto a well-preserved schooner in freshwater, the visibility can be surprisingly crisp on the right day. You can really feel the history down there, a different kind of thrill than a coral reef.
