Plan Your Visit
Choose the trip that fits your day, then book online or contact the shop for help.
Our shop is the big Quonset hut on US 19, and the remodeled interior has more room for dive gear, kayaks, gifts, and work from local makers. It is part dive shop, part paddle shop, and part the kind of gift shop you actually want to walk through, with a staff that knows the water you are about to get on.
You cannot miss the building, and that is the point. The arched steel Quonset hut is our home base on US 19. Inside, the remodeled layout has more room to browse, with the same dock out back. Whether you are picking up gear before a dive, grabbing a souvenir after a paddle, or just pulling off the highway because the building made you curious, come on in.
The dive showroom carries Sherwood, Genesis, Akona, Henderson, and NeoSport, for purchase or rental. Regulators, BCDs, masks, fins, wetsuits, and the small stuff you forgot to pack. If you are training with us, your course gear is included, and when you are ready for your own kit, we will help you build a set-up that fits how and where you dive.
We sell Feel Free kayaks, the same rugged, stable boats built for exactly this kind of water. If you have been renting every trip and doing the math, come talk to us. We will match you to a hull that fits your size, your storage, and the water you actually paddle, and you can see the boats in person instead of guessing from a product photo. Rent one for a paddle to the springs this morning, then come back and buy one this afternoon.
This is the part of the shop people do not expect from an outfitter. Sea Fear t-shirts and other designs you will not find at the airport, manatee plushes in every size, ornaments, stickers, and crafts from local makers. If someone back home asked you to bring them something from Crystal River, this is where you solve that.
The shop sits right at our dock, so it folds into your day naturally. Browse while your group checks in, warm up after a winter swim, or come back for the shirt you talked yourself out of that morning. Open seven days a week, 8 AM to 4 PM. No reservation, no booking, just come in.
