Divers Den Your underwater adventure starts here! Divers Den is a premier 5 Star SDI/TDI Professional Development and PADI Center and Dive Travel Agency.

From beginner classes to global dive trips, we equip you to explore the ocean with confidence. Divers Den was opened in 1958 at our present location by Joe Dorsey who became interested in scuba diving after seeing his first dive equipment at a local SEARS Department Store. Chaz, the current owner of the Den, took his first dive class with Divers Den in 1971 at the local YMCA. By 1975 he was so inspired he became a NASDS instructor and began teaching. In 1981 Chaz stepped out of real life and went to work for Anthony's Key Resort in Roatan as the resident photo pro and wound up staying there until 1989. Chaz's love for photography has long been his passion, traveling the world searching for the ultimate photograph(s). His works have been published in National Geographic, Skin Diver Magazine, Scubatimes, Ocean Realm, Parade, The Sun Magazine as well as, The Sun and City Papers. In 1995 Chaz was awarded the SSI Pro 5000 Platinum Certification. That was also the same year he purchased Divers Den. The rest is history. Today we have become a diverse training facility, teaching open water diver courses through public safety diving. We have worked training the Baltimore City Fire & Police Department dive teams and many of the local Public Safety Divers. Our logo says "Discover the other 3/4ths of your planet...Learn to Dive" however, before taking a scuba class ask yourself, "Do I want to "Learn to Dive" or do I want to be a Diver!!! There is a world of difference.

How do you make the right call before a dive?

This week’s Dive Tip from Instructor Aaron focuses on an important part of becoming a more confident and responsible diver. Knowing when to take a step back can be just as important as knowing when to move forward.

Take a moment before your next dive to think about your decisions, stay aware, and put safety first.
