Divers Depot

Diver's Depot in Tyler brings everything a diver needs together in one place — a retail shop, several classrooms, a swimming pool, and dorm-style accommodation on a single site. This PADI 5 Star Career Development Center has full-time PADI Course Directors on staff alongside a team of 23 PADI Instructors, so no question goes unanswered. Since 1974 the center has trained more than 12,000 divers and thousands of PADI Instructors.

Training, dive sites and who it suits

With an onsite training pool and classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and onsite accommodation, it's set up for focused, comfortable learning from first breaths underwater through to professional-level PADI courses. Air fills, Nitrox, equipment sales, service and rental round out the support, and there's a dive club and dive boat too.

Divers explore local sites including Mammoth Lake, Windy Point Park and The Scuba Ranch, where marine life ranges from sharks, whales and turtles to freshwater fish. English is spoken throughout, making it a natural fit for anyone wanting a full-service center that handles training, gear and accommodation in one stop.
