Very nice helpful lady named Lori helped me out. Nice place!

Super helpful over the phone

I dove with you guys a long time ago. the dive was perfect we had good visibility, a great crew! one of my memories was the aquatic life seeing a grouper not 3 ft from me, interacting with a jelly fish. I still have my patch from that dive.
Merry Christmas safe diving

Awesome people to dive with!!! Forgot my fins one year went three months before I realized they were gone. They still had them and mailed them to me. Incredible bunch of people.

I have been diving with this shop for several years and am so thankful for all that they have shared and done! I would recommend this shop to anyone interested in diving!

My favorite dive operation in North Carolina. Experienced and seasoned staff. They have 3 choices for housing including the onsite hotel.

Outstanding dive shop. They carry suits, masks, BCD, fins, weight belts, ETC. Also have dive charters. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Would highly recommend! The personable staff to say the least, "know their stuff". They're extremely knowledgeable about all things related to scuba diving and will happily answer all of your questions. They made what I thought would be an intimidating or boring experience beyond bearable, even something I looked forward to.

Went on 3 dives with Captain Leroy on the "Captains Lady," absolutely amazing captain and great dives. The shop was a little disorganized with the planning but no big problems. Just a lack of communication between the shop and us mostly. Definitely recommend Captain Leroy, made it very fun.

I may be wrong here and you are a different company. In summer of 1979, while taking two marine biology courses at the Duke University Marine Lab., I got my PADI Open Water Certification at a small diving school and a dive shop called Discovery Diving with a boat called Easy Step (later to be replaced with the Easy Step II). Sorry, no other names come back to memory. The instructor was very good and apart from diving and diving theory had a lot of humor, and she was able to get across dry physical and chemical concepts like the solubility of nitrogen (N2) at different pressures in an easy to understand manner, and a t the same time in a long term remember-able way. If this were your forbears, I want to express a big thank you for offering a diving course good for people who were not at home in the water. Best of success for Discovery Diving always.

Able to rent my wife and myself gear when the other dive shop would not. The gear wasn't the best, but the price was right and the folks in the shop were nice.

Wold-Class shop!! Had a wonderful experience with them!

Such an amazing group of diver/friends! Mt 10 year old son will be taking the bubble makers course very soon and I can not wait!

After calling another place and being told they were booked for the near future, I called Discovery. I spoke with a delightful woman who was very helpful, but couldn't give me two spots going to the U-352. But she tried to find out about another boat so she could accommodate me. After we had to give up and i made plans to head that way in October, she called me back. Someone had cancelled and she knew she had to call me.

My girlfriend and I got there after a long drive to a really nice room at their other business, Beaufort Harbour Suites. We got some rest and reported to the dive shop at 6 am. The staff was quick and friendly. They got everything on the Captain's Lady for us and we took off. Weather was threatening, but the Captain steered us between storms and put us over the German submarine. We had a great dive, but came up in the middle of a storm that wasn't there when we went down. The Captain guided everyone safely back on the boat and slowly made his way to our next dive site so could avoid more storms.

The next dive site, the Aeolus, was gorgeous. We had great visibility and were joined by three sharks as well as numerous barracuda. After another great dive, we got on the boat and headed back. The Captain had provided us drinks and snacks as well as a safe, fun trip.

At the shop, the staff continued to be fast, efficient, and friendly. They gave us another room at the the Inn because we had decided to stay the night. We had a great evening along the waterfront of Beaufort and another great night's rest.

The shop has the essentials. It isn't large enough to have a great selection, but we needed a couple of things and they had those covered. The operation appears to be a well run family business that really aims to please. We don't often go to the same place twice, but we decided on this trip that we would have to return and try other wrecks they go to.

Great job, guys! Really top notch!

Kathy, Laura, and I received our boat diver cards in today's mail. I just want to say thanks again. We will contact you soon about additional courses. Next, we would like to take the Deep and Wreck courses with you, sometime next season. Lee was a great instructor. We enjoy diving with Captain Leroy on Captain's Lady. Again, you are all great. We are looking forward to our next adventure together.

Discovery Put us on the wrecks and the Sharks! the boat crew was excellent and extremely knowledgeable as it pertained to the wreck sites, marine life, diving procedures and local history. We did a total of 7 dives over 3 days and were very satisfied. Me and my crew will be back!

Can't wait to go back! Everyone was wonderful and the training was excellent.

Very welcoming shop and staff, made me part of the scuba community right away. Will be returning very much for any of my scuba needs.

Experienced, fun and really caring. Wonderful experience, I'll comeback for the next certificate!

Had a great time diving with Capt Leroy and seeing some sand tigers.

I started off with Discovery Diving not knowing anything about the subject matter. Even bombed the first dive table. Debbie took me under her wing and gave me one on one study time and got me to where I needed to be. I would recommend this company to anyone. They also helped make a once in a life time proposal come true. Thank you Staff at Discovery Diving.

Amazing experience. Captain Leroy and his team gave personalized service. He was patient and helpful. A wealth of knowledge about the wrecks and things we would encounter under the water. The wrecks were cool with decent visibility. I would totally recommend this shop. I'll be back for sure.

Love wreck diving with DISCOVERY... always an amazing experience!!!

Everyone is very kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable. The staff almost feels like family and are quite helpful. The location is beautiful.

The owner, Neil Drysdale, is amazing! Not only he is an extremely skilled recovery diver but he is also very pleasant, kind and generous. I am vacationing in the area with my family and lost a treasured coin of my husband's from the 1800's off a dock into the water while having lunch with my kids that he bought with his baseball card collection when he was a child. When I went by the Dive Shop to maybe buy a snorkel mask for myself to look for it (very naive of me), Neil was there and offered to dive for it out of the kindness of his heart and remarkably found it. The ocean floor in that spot is full of shells and rocks. Like looking for a needle in a haystack. Everyone around the whole marina and restaurant were totally impressed! You don't get better than him. Best part--my children witnessing people are good in this world :)

Yes, it is unpredictable conditions! We made it to NC Twice and got to dive only on one trip. But I got to tell you, it is well worth it. Pristine marine life, full of history and mystery. Be sure to request the Captain's Lady, trust me you do not wat to spend 3 hours getting to dive location on a large boat! Memories for a lifetime!

I have been diving with Discovery for several years and have NEVER had a bad experience. Everyone goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible diving experience. I travel almost 4 hours each way, but it is well worth it! I wouldn't consider diving with anyone else in the area.

I did my open water back in 2012 and I had so much fun I went through the course to become a PADI Open Water Instructor. Love these guys!

My Grandson, Davis, is now working to get his Advanced Certification, they have been great teachers and mentors for him.

This shop is wonderful. It's fun more like a giant family. The staff is wonderful and so very helpful. I definitely built up a lot of confidence as a diver going through the AOW. Thank you for being such a wonderful shop and making me feel at home!

First time diving with Discovery, one of my dive buddies instructor dives with Discovery so we decided to give them a chance! It was wonderful, Captain Leroy is fantastic and sure has a knack in the way he finds great spots, Jay was GREAT. Our only critic would be for Leroy to get a bigger boat! They also have a hotel, Beaufort Harbour Suites, the rooms were beautiful as well as their covered porches. Perfect to hang out after a long day of diving.

Love Tim and Jay and all the staff, we dive with Discovery instead of Olympus because of the staff and because we can twist Terry's arm to take us where WE want to go, it's cheaper to come up to Beaufort from Wilmington and go diving with Discovery on their awesome wrecks, than take OUR boat out 45 miles to get to the same wrecks.

I was impressed with the instructors who gave me my introduction to diving. In my opinion, the teaching, instruction and demonstrations were of top quality. The instructors also made us feel very comfortable throughout. At the end of the course, I feel prepared for future diving adventures. Thumbs up!

Ken and I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the good service shown to our group over Memorial Day weekend. Terry always does a great job as Captain, and his briefing for Sunday's dive on the sub helped everyone negotiate their descent. Steve was also especially helpful. Thank you for ensuring the Diving Enterprises divers had a safe, enjoyable dive trip on the North Carolina wrecks!
Sincerely, Mary & Ken Dunker

Greatest place to get an education or just get wet!

Home away from home... My favorite dive shop in NC.

My daughter & I are novice divers and by a recommendation chose Discovery Diving as the place to get back into diving (after a hiatus of a few years). The staff, service and overall experience far exceeded our expectations. We had a fantastic weekend, diving the Indra four times (Sat & Sun). Many thanks especially to Captain Leroy and our dive guide Neil who made our weekend extra special. We will be back soon (can't wait).

This review is long overdue. Went out to dive the U-352, had a great dive the first day. Did an hour run on the U-352, and about the same on the Indra. The staff was very polite and helpful (or as much help as any Tech / Rebreather diver really wants) did not have much interaction with the shop. Second day was not as good, seas were real rough and probably should have been called y the captain, but that is neither here nor there. The captain called off going to the U-352 and only hit the Indra, only 5 of us splashed.
There was an incident that occurred with a sixth diver, that could have gone a lot worse; but thanks to the members that remained on the boat and crew a serious incident was averted.
Never did get a refund for only getting a half-day of diving instead of the paid for a full day, and the apartment they have is nothing to write home about but for the price and proximity I have no complaints.

As always, Discovery is top notch. We come down 2x a year. The crew from the store to the boat are always friendly, helpful & knowledgeable.

I have been down to this area several times diving with other operators. I'm glad I decided to try these guys out. Very laid back, fun crew. I will definitely dive with them again.

Divers and Friends of Goddard Sea Ventures – I thought I would share a good news story with you. Last Saturday, Oren, Russ, Yury, Amy Riggs and myself were out diving in Morehead City with Capt. Leroy of Discovery Diving. We were on our second dive at the Titan, a small tug boat that is considered “in shore.” The forecast had radically changed early Saturday morning as a cold front had dipped a little further south than expected. Winds were already picking up and there was some chop. As we came up, our camera equipment was handed up to the boat. When we got back to the dock, it was discovered that Oren’s video light had fallen off during the equipment handling at the dive site. We planned to do a search and recovery at the same site the next day. The winds picked up and all Sunday dives were cancelled. We packed up and drove home. On Monday, I received a call from Dave at Discovery informing me that a light had been recovered at the Titan by a diver from Olympus. The dive community in Morehead City was aware that Leroy had been at the Titan on Saturday, so the light was handed over to Leroy. I described Oren’s light to Dave and he confirmed that it was indeed Oren’s light. As with most dive equipment, this light is highly specialized and a bit pricey. Discovery has mailed the light back to Oren. I find it refreshing to be reminded that there are honest people who communicate among each other. Let this experience become a shining example of cooperation, no pun intended! A very special thanks to Olympus Dive Center and Discovery Diving from Goddard Sea Ventures.

This is just a note of thanks to all who have touched on my experience with your operation and this course. I want to let you all know that I am very pleased and impressed with all that you have done to get me completed on this introduction to Diving. I consider all aspects of our communications, your handling of the medical forms and the actual instruction as first class and very professional. With Janelle's lead and able assistance by Sara and Christi, I felt very confident and comfortable throughout the process. I am glad to have done this and feel very good about being prepared for the appropriate diving adventures on our French Polynesia cruise in March.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!!

We want to thank you guys for the great time Elias had while taking the certification class and while diving after he passed. Every one was really welcoming and nice and he had an amazing time. He can't wait to come back. The hospitality of the South lives to its standards. A special thanks to Sandra who was our first contact and made our trip happens.

Merci a tous et a bientot !

Thanks for the great diving over the past weeks! What an amazing place to dive, North Carolina! We will certainly be back. Your operation, from the shop, to the boats, to the crews of the boats, are exceptional. You are the best.

Thanks to your professional staff for the great dive day today. Despite the fact that I was sea sick over half of the ride, the dives were excellent. I will share my experience with others looking to dive in this area. Thanks

Janelle, Neil, Debby and all, Thanks for temp card, GREAT instruction and FUN! Love diving with you guys and looking forward to coming down again soon - it's like a big family there. The sharks at the Indra this weekend were AWESOME. I'm hooked.

My son Kevin and I had a great time diving this past Saturday and Sunday (Labor Day weekend). Captain and mates were all top notch and we will definitely be return visitors. Here's a link to a short video hot on the Papoose on Sundayhttp://youtu.be/BSS33iPamYY

Friendly and genuinely helpful staff. Fair prices, somehow they always seem to be open too which is pretty amazing. Highly recommended.

People were great! If you want to become a diver, this is the place!

Great employees and captains. Really enjoyed our dives, any issues were resolved well. Only downside was starting at the docks at 6 am.

Treat me like family and have all the knowledge you could imagine. Not to mention air while I'm there.

Best dives, best captains, best employees

Just dropping a line to say thanks to you guys for a great week. Your efforts to our vacation is greatly appreciated and is the source for our returning. Thanks to all....looking fwd to 2013..

We've been with Discovery for nearly 20 years, never had a bad experience. Captain & crew are the best there is! Diving in NC is the place to be.

The BEST dive operation I've ever seen!!! Great dive sites, awesome boats, and some of the nicest staff there is!! Not to mention the owner is a doll!!!
