Amazing service and exceptional knowledge from the staff and instructors. I recently completed my Open Water Certification and felt completely prepared and supported every step of the way. Robyn was more than accommodating to make something work for my schedule and Leanne’s instruction was clear, professional, and encouraging, which made the experience both safe and enjoyable. I am already booking my Advanced course and am excited to continue training with them.!

Cold called "I'm in Nanaimo for one day, and Ed at Sundown Diving says you might help. Can you? Tomorrow!'

An hour later everything was arranged: nitrox, weights, and an excellent and professional guide ( Andy ). At a very reasonable price!

Everything went sweet as.

What a terrific day. Tide was exceptionally low, and there were so many crinoids! And a sea pen! (Check my YouTube channel for video---sadly am not allowed to leave a link here). Nudibranchs, swimming scallops, a big Lions mane stinger too (pretty exciting: Andy kept me out of the trailing lines).

Perfect day. But the best part was Andy's professional knowledge and skill. I dive in many locations and I know skill when I see it. Top notch.

Will dive with them again in a heartbeat.

I can’t say enough good things about Pacific Pro Dive. I did my Drysuit, Advanced OW and Divemaster training here with Robyn, and she was an exceptional instructor.. patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and super passionate about diving. I always left her courses feeling confident, supported, and excited to get in the water. The entire team is friendly and approachable, and they really know their stuff when it comes to dive gear. Dave has been amazing at helping me pick out the best gear for my needs.. he always takes the time to explain the options and make sure I’m happy with my choices.

I’ve also joined club dives with Izzy, who is not only an awesome instructor but also hilarious and fun to dive with. The staff know the local dive sites really well and bring you to the best spots for cool marine encounters. It’s obvious they have a passion and respect for the ocean.

I also get all my tanks filled here.. the fills are always great and super quick. Thankful for these guys!

Had a great dive with Robyn!! We truly enjoyed ourselves and loved seeing all the different creatures (octopus, lots of starfish, sea cucumbers, king carbs, scallops, and so much more)! I could not recommend this dive shop more to those wanting a great dive experience:)

My daughter and I recently did our dry suit and advanced open water certifications through Pacific Pro Dive. This was done over the course of a week with a total of 7 dives and a pool session. Our instructor, Dave was kind, knowledgeable, and patient throughout this experience. There were times when the weather and conditions were challenging and he remained professional, positive, and attentive to issues and concerns that came up. He was also very flexible- coming to Powell River to complete some of the dives and provided options for our adventure dives.

I highly recommend this dive shop and instructor for anyone considering taking a course or curious about exploring their dive skills further!

I did my Dry Suit Specialty in Combination with my advanced Open Water here. My Instructor Dave was amazing and I had a really good time and learnt a lot! Dave was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful! I was very interested in the marine life and he explained everything in Detail. Hope to come again in future, but I live a little far away so it could be difficult.

Super helpful and flexible with our rental gear needs for a local freedive course. Were able to adjust to our request for a swap partway through the rental with no issues. Highly recommend checking them out.

Great dive shop for guided PADI dives in area. We went to Nanoose Bay and it was fabulous.
