Absolute scam artists, they will take your money, cancel on you, then refuse to give your money back.These aholes canceled pool training twice on me, never called me, no online posts and I showed up to waiste my time. They have no cancelation policy but make one up when they want to keep your money.DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEYTHESE GUYS ARE SCAMMERS

As a boat business owner and an avid sailor, freediving is a big part of my leisure activities. I have a very difficult head shape for proper mask fitment. Upon many recommendations from consumers and other businesses alike, I was referred to visit this shop. They had the biggest selection of dive masks and plenty of other equipment in stock - even spearfishing and freediving equipment. After months and months of searching, I finally found one that seals very well to my face. The service from the staff was excellent. The icing on the cake is that the prices are excellent as well - competitive with mega online retail websites!

I have been using Coral Edge ventures for 15 years as my primary dive shop and they’re awesome. Great equipment maintenance service and best prices I can find even vs online.

I recently got open water certified and purchased gear with Coral Edge, and I echo all the great reviews already stated. Great shop, no issues getting our gear, and fair prices (some of our gear was even cheaper than the exact same brand of gear on Amazon!). For certification, their instructors are A+. I struggled to adapt to some of the underwater breathing techniques and skills, and I am really happy with the great instruction, support, and coaching I received from Jennifer and Tom. Because of them (and practice), I was able to pass certification. Great experience, I highly recommend them for your scuba needs and goals!

As a customer of Coral Edge, I know for a fact Bonny’s review is fake because when I had a warranty claim (due to manufacturer) they immediately fixed it for me free of charge. They replaced my gear and sent the item back, at no cost to me. So I'm pretty sure Bonny is probably a competitor, which is not cool.In general, this scuba store is really clean and big, very good selection of gear, all of it pristine, new and dry. They have regular OW gear, all the way to sidemount, cave and tech gear.-Very low cost items compared to other places I’ve seen-Huge selection of items-They even have a full rack of pristine new drysuits, for example, along with being able to measure you to order you a custom one (I was lucky to find one in stock that fits me good, I still use it today)-Knowledgeable, relaxed and friendly staffI bought a few OW things here. I also bought all my sidemount equipment here and my sidemount BCD, my TUSA (open water, partial back inflate hybrid) BCD, and also my drysuit. Btw, the TUSA BCD is the best BCD I’ve ever seen. Works very well, had it 4 years and used it on 200+ dives and it still works great.They also do good courses here, for certifications. Like all quarries and lakes in NOVA/PA/DC/MD area, of course the one they train at, Millbrook Quarry is cold especially at depth. (Some would say it’s cold as balls) But hey, that’s the same wherever you go in this area. Other lakes are cold too. The instructors here are helpful, knowledgeable without being arrogant, and they sincerely work with you to help you get better.I got my AOW at Millbrook. It wasn’t fun diving, but it was CHEAP, which 4years ago, when I wasn’t as successful as I am now, that was really helpful. It allowed me to be fully AOW certified *before* I took my vacation to Florida.All in all I HIGHLY recommend this place to buy new gear,And I also recommend it for AOW certifications, as well as any other advanced and some tech certs(For your regular OW certification I have to recommend the place I got originally certified with, SPE dive school, Mike Parker was a great guy to learn from and get started with and they have a good facility with pool.)

I dropped by yesterday to get some info on prescription masks. They seem fairly knowledgeable and willing to help. Also they have a decent amount of floor space and nice inventory. They may very well be my new goto in the area.

This is the best dive shop in the DC area. It is surprisingly large and well stocked. The other dive stores I have been to around DC are little hole-in-the-wall places with extremely limited inventory and no evidence of professional service staff. Coral Edge Adventures has a much larger inventory of equipment than any other dive shop around, and their service shop is on full display. Their regulator service prices were also less than other places I solicited quotes from, too. This is a very professional operation and an excellent value.

First time there but not the last!!! Had a great time in this amazing dive center!! Spent about 2 hours there looking around at all of their goodies, and picked up some really great deals!!! Met one of the owners, Jim, who was just as nice as he could be!! Lady working there helped my wife for over an hour trying on stuff off of their clearance rack that was loaded with incredible buys!!! Overall I was super impressed with the entire store and operation, and look very forward to going back. I live about 20 miles south of Richmond, and it was well worth the drive!!

This review is coming from another dive shop owner... Love this place! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The store has it all. I agree that you should always support your local dive shop, but if they don't have or cannot get what you need.... go to Coral Edge. They have it.

My husband and I went on the Coco View trip organized and led by Tamaria. She was a fantastic trip leader! We had a great time and will definitely consider another trip led by her!

Customer service was terrible. Man that was there was rude during the buying process. I spent a good bit of money and he was not very helpful. The next day i had to make a return and he was even worse. He definitely lost at least 4 customers just off my experience there. Really needs to work on his people skills.

Nice people. Good advice. Great deals. Seriously, for online pricing + shipping you can just come here and get something better for about the same money, locally serviced and supported. It's totally worth the drive.
