Conveniently located in Plymouth for South Shore scuba divers, Wayne's "Diver's Market" is a friendly, professional, well organized shop. Their selection of product is extensive, their costs are competitive, and they service most major brands of scuba equipment. As a certified Instructor, who doesn't even work for them, I would highly recommend them.

Brought an old regulator in for repair and purchased some new equipment. I've been a diver since 1971 and they really know what they're doing and made great recommendations. I'll be back.

Wayne, Paul, and Bob were amazing! Stopped in to buy some gear and they gave us really great deals. They also took the time to explain where the best dive sites in the area were and what to look for. Great recommendations for equipment, diving, as well as restaurants in the area. A very welcoming environment and amazing members of the local diving community.

Divers Market not only has very fair prices and a good selection of dive gear, the open water dive course is fantastic! The owner Wayne is super responsive, a wealth of knowledge, and makes you feel comfortable when you enter his dive shop and when you get started in a course. Then there is the fantastic staff! I dove with several instructors and dive masters including Teresa, Bill, Kim, Al, Ethan and others. They are all patient, expert in what they do, and most importantly, fun! If you are looking for a dive shop, Divers Market is worth the trip if you arent local! If you are local, look no
