Dive Zone Scuba

Based in Pearland just outside Houston, Texas, Dive Zone Scuba is a PADI 5 Star and TecRec facility staffed by nine PADI instructors. The center runs both recreational and technical training, from open water right through to divemaster and assistant instructor, so it suits everyone from first-time divers to those chasing an instructor rating.

Courses and specialties

Recreational options include advanced open water, rescue, and specialties such as sidemount, self-reliant diver, and recreational backmount doubles. On the technical side, divers can work through TEC40, TEC45, TEC50, TEC65, tec sidemount, and Trimix. The team makes frequent training trips to Panama City Beach, Florida.

The facility keeps an onsite classroom and retail shop, with air fills, nitrox, equipment sales, and rental gear on hand. Dive Zone Scuba also runs a YouTube channel of the same name, with over 200 videos on recreational and technical diving tips, techniques, and trips. Instruction is offered in English.
