Sharky's Scuba Supply Ottawa - Québec
The team at Sharky's Scuba Supply Ottawa are the real deal, especially if you’re looking to get serious about your cold water diving or just dip a toe in. We love that they’ve built a reputation for practical, no-nonsense training across PADI, SSI, and TDI, perfect for anyone eyeing those Canadian wrecks or deeper tech dives. Our favourite part has to be their equipment selection; it's genuinely huge, meaning you can actually try on a drysuit before you buy it, which is a godsend when you're shelling out for serious thermal protection. You walk in, and it's less a retail store, more a gear cave – the sheer volume of regulators, fins, and drysuit options is impressive. They really know their stuff on the local conditions, too, which is invaluable. If you’re planning to explore any of the 201 dive sites around the Ottawa River or nearby lakes, these are the folks to chat with first. They’ll point you to the best rental gear for a specific site or recommend the right dry gloves for a particularly chilly autumn dive. It saves a lot of trial and error, and frostbite.
