The oldest continually running dive shop in Southwestern Ontario.

Started in 1986, The Dive Shop has been continually operating in Kingsville for 39 years.

Art Vermette started The Dive Shop because he loved SCUBA and wanted to contribute to the local SCUBA community. Art has spent his dive career ensuring that divers have access to the best training and quality gear at affordable prices. He has trained, and continues to train new divers under first the YMCA, and now the SCUBA Educators banner. Art continues to teach and be a big part of everything we do.

Matt Vermette began his diving career in 2013, and in January 2020 took over day-to-day operation of the The Dive Shop. Matt achieved his Instructor certification in 2024 with SCUBA Educators International.

Matt continues Art’s original passion for the best quality training and quality gear at affordable prices.
