Like many dive shops, Scuba Commander is owned and operated by people who are passionate about diving. It’s not hard to get into a discussion about favorite spots, photography, or any other subject around diving. I went in to pick up a lavacore shirt for under my 3 mm suit and the had plenty of them in stock in my size. Shop is brand new, brightly lit, festooned with pictures taken by the proprietors and freshly painted! Complete with changing rooms and a class room for teaching PADI certifications. Only two minor misses(one which is being corrected soon, so if this review is a little old, disregard the first), they currently can’t do Nitrox and they don’t have a pool on-site. They are contracted to do classes with a local university pool, so for getting your certifications it’s absolutely a win, but if you just want to try out your new BCD before going on a boat dive, it might be a little more complicated. This is a great addition to Chesapeake and will save many folks a 40 minute drive to other shops in the area. Plus, with planned dive trips in the future, I think Scuba Commander has a bright future ahead of it.
