Grand Opening of the Pacific Pro Dive Tofino & Ucluelet Dive Store
We are delighted to officially announce the grand opening of our dive store at the junction of Tofino and Ucluelet! This mobile dive store is an extension of our well established PADI 5 Star Dive Centre located in Courtenay, BC.
Servicing both Ucluelet and Tofino communities we are excited to get out and explore the local waters of the west coast with you! Currently we are offering a wide selection of freediving, spearfishing, scuba and snorkel gear to get you in the water. Looking for tank fills? Not a problem, our dive store is fully outfitted with a reliable compressor to ensure you never miss a dive.
Our grand opening will take place on June 19th, and 20th featuring guest speakers from Huish Outdoors, our local Ambassador Andrew McCurdy, and more! The weekend will include a welcome BBQ and a raffle, with 10% of proceeds going to the Ucluelet Aquarium. To wrap up the weekend, we will be guiding a Father Day snorkel, open to all ages, and experience levels.
Whether you are an avid diver or just interested in exploring our oceans, stop in for a burger and chat with our Pacific Pro Dive team. We look forward to meeting everyone and hearing feedback of what dive shop services would best serve the local community of ocean enthusiasts.
