The store first opened it's doors in 1976 on the Beaufort Waterfront and moved to it's current location shortly there after. In these many years of operation the Store as well as the Diving off the Coast of North Carolina has been recognized for it's excellence and we thought we would share some of these awards with you, so that you can see why you need to DIVE North Carolina and hopefully dive with us.
