Competence and Safety are the primary focus at Oak Hill Scuba, Austin's Beginner, Advanced and Technical diving headquarters. Oak Hill Scuba emphasizes safe diving, competent training, and affordable dive trips, as well as one of the most extensive selections of Scuba equipment in Texas. However, while other shops advertise a large selection of different colors for their basic equipment, Oak Hill Scuba focus's more on the proper and safe use of any and all equipment used for diving. Our staff of instructors includes several instructors who have dove, and taught diving, across the globe. Our range of instruction ranges from the basic Open Water courses to Technical diving instruction in such areas as mixed gas and extended range diving.
Oak Hill Scuba is more than just a retail outlet. Besides sales, training, service and travel, Oak Hill Scuba is a social environment. We enjoy customers coming by to browse or to just chat about diving. It's a great way to meet future dive buddies. Come by and share with us your latest diving adventure or talk about your upcoming trip. Don't be surprised if we try to scheme a way to fit into your luggage.
We are a NAUI Technical Training Facility, although our instructors have been certified by other groups such as PADI, TDI, and More. NAUI has a well deserved reputation as the most meticulous and thorough of the major dive groups, as well as being the oldest. The emphasis is on safe diving, as well as the development of the confidence and knowledge that is essential in the competent Scuba diver. We are not advocating making a fashion statement, we are advocating competence.
The sales associates at Oak Hill Scuba will not pressure you to buy a particular brand or model of merchandise. We carry products by a number of manufacturers to give you a wide choice in your equipment selection. We will advise you on how different equipment should fit and how it operates. The ultimate choice is yours. We want the equipment to fit properly and meet your expectations. Above all, we want you to be happy with your equipment purchase.
The diving experience has many different avenues, and at Oak Hill Scuba, we are prepared to facilitate your enjoyment in the areas of your choice. We offer affordable trips to dive locations around the world, but with a special emphasis on Cozumel and the Caribbean. We have a long established relationship with several low cost hotels in Cozumel, as well as with Blue Angel Divers, the "Liquid Guru's" of the Island. A trip with our ever-expanding diving community is not your basic cattle car package, but rather a tropical experience that combines incredible diving with the best that Cozumel has to offer. We also offer dive trips to other exotic locations around the diving world. You will not be disappointed, or bored.
Another aspect that our shop offers, which is unique in the Austin area, is our group of underwater hunters, whose joy in life is sitting on a cross beam of an oil rig, spearing large game fish 30 miles out in the gulf. If fighting a large amberjack or Grouper up to the surface from 100', all the time realizing that for once, you are not the alpha predator in the immediate environment, appeals to you, then contact our shop, and come in and learn about true hunting. And we don't care what color your spear gun is, and neither do the fish.
Our bottom line is that after becoming associated with our shop, either with training or activities, you'll become a safer and more confident diver. And we think that's more important than making an underwater fashion statement.
