Amy & Brian, the founders of Raleigh Scuba Diving, have a love affair with diving. From the first time each of them got into the water, they realized this was their church, their mecca, & their Mt. Everest. After working in the dive industry for years, they found existing scuba instruction & dive shops are far from their vision. Having been surrounded by friends & colleagues for years, they found this was their family. From group meals to impromptu game nights, this family truly is what diving enables. Friends, food, fun, fracas, & family is our blood.

In 2023, they made the decision to open their own dive shop. The key to this decision was a steadfast determination to bring their vision of what diving should be to everyone. Like most businesses, they are starting small but building on their core principles: respect, honesty, patience, trust, dedication to the customer, & providing the best education & services possible. Our customers are our family and never a walking pocketbook.

As adults, we forget how to play & scuba brings back that simple joy. Our mascot is the epitome of how we feel about diving. Scuba is our superpower. It provides the ability to fly & to visit a foreign world. At it’s core, it’s silliness, it’s simplicity, it’s joy, & it’s being a kid again. Being able to experience that at ANY age is what makes scuba diving amazing. So no, we won’t ride hammerhead sharks with an octopus stuck to our face, but it’s exactly how we feel while diving… unrestricted & free from all constraints. Whether it’s diving on a wreck for the first time, seeing an unknown fish, removing debris from a dive site, or figuring out that our breath controls nearly everything, we delight in each step. Our vernacular is simple, but our eyes speak novels. We want to share that with the world. The answer is never no; it’s let’s find out together.
