The oceans have so much beauty beneath the surface, yet so few will enjoy this beauty. Ricks Dive 'N Travel Center has the staff to teach you to scuba dive, snorkel or learn to swim if necessary. We will also provide you with the necessary equipment to dive some of the ocean's most beautiful and exotic places.

Every major supplier of snorkeling and scuba gear would love to have their products displayed and sold at Rick's Dive 'N Travel Center. By relying on over 30 years of experience, the latest equipment technical data and our own in-water testing and use, we select and sell only those products and manufacturers which meet our standards of performance and value. We don't just stock "everyone's products and there is a reason for that"! We think you will agree when you meet us.

Because service after the sale is so important on major components of diving equipment, we offer only products from those manufacturers who have a proven track record and who will stand behind their products for us year after year and not just on promises alone. Basically, if you have a problem.....we have a problem and we will make it right period!

Our huge inventory reflects our commitment and selection of dive products that we sell and service. Anyone can order something for you......we usually have it in stock and offer you the opportunity to make a test dive in our indoor heated pool to be sure it is exactly what you want.

This is extremely important to any individual making a commitment into the scuba diving recreation.

Think about this.....
BUYING TWICE IS ONLY GOOD FOR DIVE CENTERS.....our goal is to get it right the first time and we usually DO!
