Evergreen Dive Service

Diving the Pacific Northwest, done right

Evergreen Dive Service exists to help you find your sense of adventure under the waves. The team is focused on the dive sites of the Pacific Northwest, and — just as importantly — on teaching you to dive comfortably in the region's chilly waters. That combination is the whole point here: cold water isn't a hurdle to get past, it's the thing they know best.

As a PADI 5 Star IDC centre with 14 PADI instructors, the shop runs small classes so nobody gets lost in the crowd. Whether you've never breathed underwater or you're sharpening skills you already have, the training covers PADI Scuba Diving, PADI Freediving and PADI First Aid – EFR, all taught in English. There's an onsite classroom, plus air fills, nitrox, trimix and mixed gas for divers who want to go further.

Rental kit runs deep — drysuits, 7mm wetsuits, regulators, dive computers, aluminium and steel cylinders — with kids' and freediving gear available too. Beyond the retail shop, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and parking, this is a community: the dive club heads out regularly, and conservation activities are part of the calendar rather than an afterthought.
