“Most of the world is actually below the water,” says Brian Pallock, the owner of Dive Source. “Being a scuba diver or snorkeler makes you part of the whole planet and not just a passenger bobbing above the waves… Scuba diving changed my life and showed me ocean creatures and sights I never imagined, as well as amazing shipwrecks and history, right here in the Great Lakes.”
According to Brian, this type of passion is a common theme with his customers, as well as the staff who make up the Dive Source team. “When I was growing up, I loved watching the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau and there is one quote of his I love to this day: ‘From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.’ ” Diving is a life skill and Dive Source can certainly make you feel free. As one of the largest dive shops in Ontario, they carry all manner of scuba and snorkelling gear as well as offering scuba classes every month year round. “Dive Source began over 20 years ago when I wanted to share my love of diving and create a dive shop that not only had a ton of cool things to buy, but was full of people that I would want to go diving with. We have been fortunate enough to do both and I am proud to be one part of what is a terrific team here,” says Brian. “Cousteau had his team on Calypso, we have ours here at Dive Source. That is something we are proud to offer our customers today, whether they are learning to scuba dive or simply stopping in to get a new mask and snorkel for their holiday.”
The products are always modern, and reputable brands. Good place for snorkel gear too, and has a wide variety of scuba classes offered. Good for getting started, and for going pro
I am so grateful for Dive Source opening a new world to me a few years ago. Scuba has become passion now. Dive Source has helped me to make that happen with great advice that really fit my needs The course instructors go way beyond the book which has helped me to become a safer and more confident diver. The group trips have allowed me to meet other incredible people that love to dive too. If you are curious they have opportunities for you to just try it out.
