At Water World, the difference is quality.

Water World is a well established dive shop, serving the Triangle area for more than 24 years. We have taught at all the local YMCAs, more than a dozen Country and Athletic Clubs and worked with scuba classes at Duke, UNC, NCCU, and NC State. It is our goal that every scuba student receive the best possible instruction and service.

The experienced group of instructors at Water World will turn your desire to learn how to scuba dive into a fun, safe, adventure. Read what some of our students have said about their instructors:
