About Us
Established in March 1995, Simply Scuba launched the UK's first online dive store in 1996 and we've been at the forefront of online retail innovation ever since. We're always looking for better ways to help you research and buy your dive kit online by harnessing the latest technology with our high standards of customer service.
Located just outside the fashionable and picturesque town of Faversham in Kent (to view a map please click here), we operate our showroom, customer services centre and warehouse from our large modern industrial premises.
