You'll Dive Better

With Underwater World

Learn to scuba dive, find gear that fits and travel with people who love being underwater. Based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, we’ve been helping Philadelphia-area divers since 1973.

We love this store and the community of divers we have met through it!

Training & Certifications

Take your first breaths underwater with instructors who get to know you. Small classes and a high ratio of Dive Professionals to students mean personal attention as you learn, practice and build confidence.

We teach thinking divers. You’ll learn why each skill matters and show you can apply it in the water. When your course includes video feedback, you can see your technique and work through it with your instructor.

DIVE VACATIONS

Pick a place you’ve always wanted to dive. We’ll explain the diving, what’s included and what costs extra before you book. Your UWW trip leader keeps you informed, coordinates the group while you’re away and makes you feel welcome from the start.

Travel with us to Bonaire, Little Cayman and the Bahamas, or explore Fiji, Yap, Truk Lagoon, Palau, the Philippines, Iceland, Malta, Oman and Japan.
