When our 15-year-old son expressed an interest in taking a diving course, we searched for a reputable diving school in the Clearwater area. Our search led us to Mac's Sports, based on a recommendation from a friend who is an experienced diver. From the very beginning, we could tell that we were dealing with true experts who are passionate about diving. We enrolled in the open water course, purchased our equipment from them, and even signed up for our first diving trips. As beginners, we appreciate the equipment recommendations from professionals, the price guarantee, and the option to switch equipment if we change our minds.read more

My Wife and I recently earned our Open Water Certification at Mac's with Kevin Campbell. He was a great instructor. He took the time to work with everyone in class individually as needed and the group as a whole. He is extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. More of a friend than a drill instructor. I was not intimidated to ask any questions. His experience in diving truly shines through.Thanks Kevin and Mac's for helping me achieve my goal at becoming a Certified Open Water Diver.read more

I got a "diving class" gift for my birthday at Mac's Sports store back in May 2022 )))I decided to go to the Open Water Diver course only in June 2023, which I was very happy about!Our group was taught by William Grindey. In my opinion, this is the best and most fun instructor you can have. It was very easy to learn and get new diving skills with him. If something didn’t work out for someone, he was happy to help figure it out.And another important point, at the time of training, my English was not very good and I told Will about it. He told me not to worry, and if something was not clear, he would personally explain everything to me, and it was so.In general, I am extremely glad that I took this course in this store and with this instructor. I advise everyone.....read more

Me and my wife recently did our SSI refresher here. Equipment collection and facilities are great and Steve was really wonderful! We were out of water for quite a few years and Steve was so helpful and patient with us. Gave us a lot of pro tips as we worked back through the skills till we were feeling back feeling like scuba divers again :)We dove the Devil's Den next day and Steve set us up with Divemaster Jolly - very experienced and wonderful person. Helped us with literally everything and made the Dive trip another memorable one.We are definitely returning soon and continuing our dive journey with Mac's sports and Jolly.read more

I just completed the Open Water certification at Mac's in Clearwater with Kevin Campbell as the instructor. It was a great experience! Kevin is a very knowledgeable, helpful and patient Scuba teacher. It's so nice having a pool onsite and great equipment to use while learning. Everyone at the dive shop was friendly and accommodating. It's convenient to purchase and try out equipment at the dive shop and they will match others' prices. Our check-out dives were safe and FUN! Many thanks to Mac's and Kevin for giving me the confidence to, as Kevin says, "mask on, regulator in, dive, dive, dive!"read more

Best experience ever. I looked around at another dive shop before going with Mac’s. Their level of professionalism and safety is paramount to me. In addition, they genuinely care that i have a good experience and that I’m well prepared to be a safe diver. I bought my equipment from there as well. Loved learning on site in their very large, heated pool. Will and Maroula were so supportive, and so friendly. I also appreciate that it’s a family run business. I’m gonna be a customer for life.read more

I recently completed the scuba certification class offered by Macs, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. From start to finish, the team at Macs was professional, knowledgeable, and committed to ensuring that I had a safe and enjoyable learning experience.The course was well-structured and covered all of the essential skills needed to become a certified scuba diver. The instructors were patient, thorough, and provided plenty of hands-on training, which made me feel confident and prepared when it came time for my open-water dives.What I appreciated most about the Macs scuba certification class was the emphasis on safety. The instructors were vigilant about making sure that we understood the importance of proper dive planning, communication, and equipment maintenance. This gave me a sense of comfort and reassurance, knowing that I was learning from experts who took safety seriously.Overall, I highly recommend the Macs scuba certification class to anyone who is interested in exploring the underwater world. The course is well-designed, the instructors are top-notch, and the skills you learn will stay with you for a lifetime. Thanks, Macs, for an amazing experience!read more

My family certified with Mac’s back in the 80’s. Since then, the new “family owned” crew goes far beyond first class service. I just completed my recertification, while my son completed his open water certification. Not only are you getting knowledge and customer service, you’re also getting safety first. They make you feel extremely comfortable in the water, and designate extra time to those that need a bit more attention. I just purchased additional gear at the shop as well, knowing that it’s quality products, and recommended for divers looking for a fun, and most importantly safe experience!! They also arrange offshore, local, and destination charters. Got Certified?! Thanks Mikey and Will!!BHread more

Mac’s has an outstanding Scuba program, and I am so glad that I chose them for my open water certification course. They are knowledgeable, professional and fun. I was referred to them by an experienced diver who really knows the ins and outs of diving, as well as the other educational scuba programs available in the Tampa area. Mac’s instructors Will, Steve and Kevin, who worked with our group were all outstanding. As an older diver, with some physical limitations, the team worked capably and kindly so I could achieve proficiency in handling the equipment, and safely learn how to perform the necessary skills. Their teaching techniques also complimented the on-line learning materials in the SSI program. I do feel that I now have a knowledge base for safe diving. Thank you for opening up this huge world to me, and I look forward to seeing you all again!read more

I walked into Mac's just to ask a few questions on getting certified, I was greeted by Mike, his demeanor was so pleasurable and warming that I started asking away. As he answered all my questions and demonstrated nothing but true knowledge I immediately felt that I was in the right place. The wife and I came back and signed up for open water scuba and were introduced to Will, Mike's brother and our instructor. There aren't enough words to describe Will, he is an AMAZING instructor with very special people skills, he just loves the water, he loves what he does and he sure does everything in his power to make you feel comfortable and relaxed thru the entire process. This is a family and friends operated business that make you feel like you were family, Will's wife Meroulas is awesome and charming and also a very experienced diver, she is always nothing but smiles and a pleasure to be around. Overall, a true pleasure to have met them all and I am now a Certified open water diver and I will be forever grateful. I have tried several other shops in the area and these guys are it, if yo want to dive look no further...read more

This place is awesome I go here from now on to fill up my paintball and airsoft HPA tanks. They fill up to 3000 psi for $10 but you can get a “tank fill card“ for something like 35 and that gives you 12 refills so it’s basically only a couple of dollars which is awesome!!! One downside however literally the second I walked outside of the door I miss placed my refill card so I’m gonna have to buy it again 🙁 goodthing is though that they will hold it on hand for you so you can’t lose it, I’m definitely going to do that next time!read more

Well, maybe a bit more...I bought some equipment, and they didn’t up sell me at all. I told the staff (Will) what I was looking for, my intended use, and what my skill level was, and they sorted my right out. The even let me use the pool to check out the equipment. I checked their prices against the BIG “A” and they were either a match (or slightly less). I would absolutely recommend this place.read more

We had originally went for scuba lessons with super sports and scuba. First of all, that instructor had me scared stupid about diving. When we were ready to get certified i could not get them to answer my call to schedule the dive. We were getting ready to go on a cruise and my husband and I were looking forward to diving in the Caribbean. My brother who was certified at Mac's brought us there for sidewalk sale and Keith was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable and kind. So, when things feel through at the other place,we knew we had to go with Mac and Keith. Keith worked on his his day of and did private lessons to make sure we were ready. Now, i need to tell you we had already done dive classroom portion at other place...at Mac we did online course which was much more informative and spent way more time in the pool. Keith made sure we felt comfortable and were ready to dive. We are leaving for cruise tomorrow and we are so looking forward to diving in GrandTurk and Dominican Republic. Thanks Mac and Keith!read more

Highly recommend! The hubs and I have been customers for more than 20 years. We buy our gear and get it serviced there. We've taken several classes and have been on many dive trips with them. Our daughter was certified there. The staff is knowledgable, helpful and friendly. Recently purchased some new gear and Brian was very generous. Thanks Brian! See you at the Dive Club meeting. read more

My wife and I went in to the Macs Clearwater location to check out some diving gear. Mike Odette greeted us at the door and helped us with every question and concern we had. The shop is one of the nicest dive shops we have ever been to. Large selection of everything. I would recommend this shop to anyone. Thanks Mike. We will see you soonread more

I've been coming here for years. The staff here are all extremely nice and very helpful. They take very good care of their customers and care about getting you the right gear for your level. It's also really nice that when snow season comes around that they provide the gear you need for skiing. I dive and ski, so this is perfect shop.read more
