Triangle Dive Shop @ Water World

We are a multi-agency certified dive shop providing the highest quality scuba instruction & dive gear available.

The Triangle Dive shop is based in Durham, NC inside Water World. Water World opened their doors in 1976 as a scuba shop and is the Raleigh & Durham area’s oldest dive shop. Raleigh Scuba Diving opened their doors in 2023 to bring a fresh approach to scuba training. In 2024, the shops merged together and rebranded the business; Triangle Dive Shop @ Water World. This merging of the two companies combines the experience from one of the oldest PADI IDC centers in the country with the passion, dedication to safety, adherence to standards and unparalleled training from one of the newest dive shops.

Triangle Dive Shop has a simple mission; to create amazing divers, support the dive community to the highest standards, treat every customer with respect and, most importantly, have fun!
