Pacific Pro Dive & Marine Adventures

Amazing shop and amazing staff. My girlfriend has her advanced open water and I wanted to try diving with her in the ocean and do my discover scuba diving at the same time. Unfortunately the visibility at low depth in the ocean was bad and instead of bringing me anyway, Robyn was kind enough to call my girlfriend and let her know that I wouldn't see anything if I dove in the ocean with her, so my girlfriend went to the ocean and I went to the lake. I had an amazing experience, the staff was very kind and helpful. You can tell they're passionate about diving. Would 100% recommend.

Although the team was friendly, and knowledgeable in Diving, I was very disappointed to travel all the way across the Country (from Ontario) to go diving with sea lions, which we paid specifically for, only to find out on the day of the dive that not enough divers were signed up on that day, that boating out to where the sea lions were would not be profitable for them. So we dove some wreck dive and a wall that was closer to the location. I mean, I get it you're a business, and during COVID things have been tough. But I feel like offering me the chance to cancel, or reschedule (seeing that it was just myself, my girlfriend, and family of the shop owners on the dive) would have been the right thing to do. Although local diving groups are likely where you can turn a profit, diving is a travel activity, and coming from so far away, it was a really poor experience based on too costly on gas to boat into the wind with only 2 actual customers." I would have gladly paid for the gas to get there knowing it was my one shot to dive with sea lions in BC."

I want to say a big thank you to Sylvain. He was so incredibly informative when purchasing our snorkelling gear. He was patient and encouraged us not to feel rushed despite the fact that we had passed closing hour. 5 stars for pleasant, patient and very knowledgeable service. Can’t wait to take some courses and hopefully learn more from his expertise!

I want to give a big Thank You to Robyn Fyfe. I was down in the Philippines and I could not locate my open water certificated. I contacted Pacific Pro Dive by email. Robyn got back to me after hours on a Sunday and located my open water certificate for me. Thank you again Robyn for taking the extra time and effort in helping me out. Great customer service!

I started diving back in May of 2019 and I have to say that when I go from Calgary to Courtney BC and visit Pacific Pro Dive the staff and management treat me like Royalty. When I walk into the store and view all the dive gear they have and experience the knowledge of their staff and management you will never want to leave.I have been on a couple of charters with Ron Nelson and Robyn Fyfe and the dive with the Seal Lions was one of my best experiences. It makes you never want to leave the area and it is a must to keep coming back.The courses they offer give you a wide range of advancement in the area of diving and Ron Nelson's patience for new divers and his energy make you want to never leave the water. They are great stewards of the environment with their Dives Against Debris" throughout the year and offer great leadership to all participants.I love coming out to their store and will always be a supporter of Pacific Pro Dive and the area."

Now that I’m settled after my road trip, it’s time to give some credit where credits due! This awesome wee shop, particularly Jen so to speak, got me on a dive with a guide for the following day after I’d called up to see if they were running any trips that day. She said the weren’t but would let me know if she found a guide who’d be keen to take me out for the day! And there was!! I was super stoked and appreciative of her finding me someone whilst visiting town. Andy was my dive guide and provided great chat, he was incredibly patient with me after having been out of the water for a little while and a fairly new diver to this whole dry suit thing, haha! I felt super safe and confident diving next to him and all the gear I hired was of course very reliable too. I was super sold on getting another dive in and Andy said they’d be heading out again in a couple days. I didn’t think I’d make it as I’d be carrying on with my road trip but enjoyed my day so much I changed (about the only plans I happened to make on my road trip) to make myself available for the next dive. This is where I’ve gotta shout out my next dive guide called Guy, who was just so incredible as well. He carried through with instilling in me the same confidence Andy provided and even was so kind as to get some footage for me of our dive on his own personal camera rig. I can’t thank this crew enough for providing not only a beautiful dive with some very cool things to see, but also just such great sense of comradery, and classic good diving community that this sport brings! I can’t wait to dive again with you guys one day next time I’m out on the island. Hoping for a Quadra trip, weuu! Happy diving!

Friendly and professional dive shop in the Comox Valley. They recently were awarded a PADI 5 star and just visiting the store shows why. The new renovations at this store are so clean and bright it shows this location cares and is very passionate about diving.Getting back into diving can be intimidating for a beginner such as my self, but has been a breeze with the staff here. They helped certify my brother in the open water course and both my brother and I were fortunate enough to dive with the sea lions! The instructors were so personable that I felt comfortable bombarding them with questions about scuba diving, and have learned so much more than I originally thought possible.The store itself has an incredible assortment of diving gear and equipment. They have all of the gear you could ever need, and will always order it in if you don't happen to find what you're looking for that day.Overall, this dive store has outshone my expectations and will be my go to spot for diving.

I've had the sincere pleasure to go out and dive the Van Island coast with these amazing people, and I will do so again and again. You just know when you're dealing with people that have a true passion for what they're doing.The owners, Scott, Robyn, and Ron are incredibly dedicated to the life of scuba diving and promoting its safe enjoyment every chance they get.I've achieved my Master Scuba Diver thanks especially to the inexhaustible support of Ron Nelson...you seriously can't ask for a better instructor or dive buddy!

I have gone from my very first dive right up to my Advanced Open Water PADI certification here. From the moment I walked into the shop to ask a few questions, everyone here has been top notch. Super friendly, knowledgeable and patient.  The Dive Instructors worked with my schedule to make sure I completed my training at a comfortable pace.  They took my safety very seriously the entire way through. I am genuinely excited to work with them in the future to continue my training even further.

As a person that has a fear of open water I’m happy to write that the owners of Pacific Pro Dive on Vancouver Island finally got me out in the water and boy am I glad I finally took the plunge. Robyn and Scot are so knowledgeable in their field and their instructors are the best I’ve met. I finally feel confident in the water. We were lucky enough to see a whole whack of sea lions out on our dive and it was so thrilling! The equipment was top of the line!Anyone who was on the fence like me definitely needs to head down to Pacific Pro Dive and talk to Robyn. Her passion on scuba diving alone will be enough to change your mind!
