Welcome to Outdoor Sports Shop Scuba & Kayak Center!
Our specialties are scuba diving, snorkeling, and kayaking. We are dedicated to helping others enjoy these amazing activities while providing the best customer service possible.
At Outdoor Sports Shop Scuba & Kayak Center,
we have been training scuba divers and snorkelers for
over 20 years, and
have been kayaking for nearly as long. We understand how important it is to provide
opportunities
for new and experienced divers to stay active, and for kayakers to have the right
kayak for the paddler, as well the area.
We have a number of programs in place
like our FREE Scuba Skills Review, and in water kayak demos to help
you. These programs are listed below and throughout our web site so check
them out and contact us for details. We are happy to help.
We can also help you plan and book your dive or kayak vacation! Our Dive Travel Coordinators Leigh & Fred take several tropical destination dive trips a year. They know what it takes to get the most out of your vacation. If you want to stay closer to home, head up to the St. Lawrence River with us for some outstanding wreck diving.

Programs
Try Scuba: If
you have ever wondered what it would be like to scuba dive, the Try Scuba 
Experience is
what you are looking for. Conducted year round at an indoor pool, the Try Scuba
Experience is
a fast, fun and exciting way to experience the thrill of being underwater.
We supply the equipment and instruction needed so all you need to bring is a
bathing suit and towel. You will be happy to hear how easy it
is to "Try Scuba". Contact us for details and schedule your
introduction to the underwater world.
Scuba Diver Certification: This is the scuba diver certification course that takes you from a non diver to certified scuba diver through a combination of academic training, pool training, and open water checkout dives. After this course, you will be on your way to many wonderful adventures. Contact us for more information.
Skin Diver (Snorkeling): Yes, there really is a proper way to use a mask, snorkel & fins. At the lake, in the Caribbean, or even in a pool, get the most out of your time in the water by taking this fun class.
FREE Scuba Skills Review: An opportunity for newer divers as well as old salts to get in the water to review skills and be ready for the season, or that trip you have planned. This program is available weather permitting and when the pool is open for the season. Appointments are necessary.
Refresher Scuba Experience: This program is excellent for those who have been away from diving and need a more comprehensive review of skills and procedures.
Practice, Practice, Practice: Even if you have been active but want to review skills anyway, we can customize a review session for you. You can pick the skills you want to work on, & we supply the training. We can also evaluate your skills if you like, to help you determine your individual needs. If you just want use of the pool to practice skills with your dive buddy, check out our Fun Dive Pool Sessions below.
Fun Dive Pool Sessions: If you are looking to get in the water to try out that new piece of equipment, practice buoyancy, hang out below the surface, or whatever, let us know. We can schedule you for a pool session to just do a pool dive. It's a great way to spend some time underwater.
Advanced Scuba Diver: Certified scuba divers who want to expand their skills and knowledge will want to sign up for this program. Open water dive training is the key to helping you reach that next level of competence.
Specialty Courses: These courses are for those who want to learn about specific types of diving. Drysuit Diver, Underwater Photography, Night Diving, and Wreck Diving are a few examples. Divers with specific areas of interest can take the course that interests them the most.
Scuba Rescue Diver: If you are looking to become even more comfortable in the water, and strive to be the best dive buddy you can be, check out this program. You will learn how to recognize certain situations early that require assistance, and how to respond so that everyone will benefit. You will also learn what to do if you are ever faced with an emergency situation.
First Aid & CPR: This program is a prerequisite for several courses including Scuba Rescue Diver, but is not only for divers. First Aid & CPR trained individuals save lives every day. In this course you will learn what to do when confronted with an emergency situation. Who should take this class? Everyone would be the best answer to that question. Be ready to make a difference. You will be glad you did. If you just want the CPR or the First Aid portion of the course, we can split it up to suit your needs.
Emergency Response Diver Training: People sometimes confuse Scuba Rescue Diver with this type of training. Scuba Rescue Diver as described above is beneficial for all divers, where as Emergency Response Diver training is designed for Public Safety Agencies and Dive Teams. These programs prepare divers to conduct underwater search and recovery operations for agencies that provide these services to their citizens.

Winter Fun
We are a dealer for KARHU cross country skis. Although KARHU carries traditional in-track skis, we especially like their backcountry designs which allow you to carve your own trails.
We switched to this style of skiing years ago when we purchased our first pair of KARHU skis. Now we pack a lunch, and head out for a morning or afternoon adventure.
No fees and no lift lines!
Contact us if you want more info about this exciting sport.
