Nanaimo Dive Outfitters

Always a good experience and fun chatting about the diving hobby. Staff are knowledgeable and are very considerate of safety when it comes to covid.

Today I finished my open water dry suit certification diving course at Tyee Cove in Nanoose bay. Due to the clear water and low volume of folks out in the water, we saw lots of life including young sea lions, jelly fish, neat crabs, fish and plants. Jerry and Derrick are awesome instructors! The gear is nearly all new. I recommend you sign up with these guys!

Brenda was able to put together a last minute dive for me with Mike. What an amazing dive shop run by incredible people. The sights under water were full of life and color. A couple of shore dives had us finding octopus, nudo branch’s, king crab, flounder fish and much more. Unlike many tropical dive shops that throw you in the water as soon as you zip up, Mike was very professional and detailed. Thanks again for the amazing dives!

I did a guided shore dive with Mike and had an amazing time. Brenda, the owner, was friendly and set me up before the dive. Mike was encouraging as I’m a newer diver and patient. I had an amazing time and highly recommend them. I will be back!

What a great dive shop, my wife and I did our first cold water dives with NDO, and completed our drysuit course. Chris was our guide for the three days of diving, he was great! Very informative and he was an expert at finding little creatures in all the cracks.
Brenda was great with communication via email, she answered all my questions and set up our three days of diving. Can't recommend this dive shop enough, I'll be back!
