JoeScuba LLC & Key Largo Dive Center
Last year, I started selling diving equipment online. At the time, everything on JoeScuba.com/shop was used dive gear–mostly my own. After decades of diving, I have accumulated a lot of dive gear, and being in the web business, e-commerce seemed like a great way to make room for more.
Selling used dive gear is fun, but also a lot of work, since it has to be serviced, etc. before I’m willing to sell it. So, I’ve teamed up with my good friend Captain Larry, owner of Key Largo Dive Center, to add new dive gear to JoeScuba.com.
Key Largo Dive Center is a major dive center located in, you guessed it, Key Largo, Florida. It is, by far, the best dive boat operation in the Florida Keys, as well as a great dive shop and dealer for all my (and hopefully your) favorite dive equipment.
When you buy new dive gear from JoeScuba, you’re really buying from Key Largo Dive Center. The last thing I want is to create confusion, so I’ll be making that clear throughout the site. To start, we’re concentrating on Dive Rite, especially backplates and wing, some regulators and limited selections of Hollis Dive Gear. Watch for dive computers and other gear to be added in the coming weeks and months.
I’ll continue selling used dive gear, which will be a mix of what I started out selling, but also good diving equipment that we buy when opportunities arise. Whether it is my personal equipment, or used dive gear we buy for resale, we will not sell diving equipment that hasn’t been tested and, if applicable, serviced. Email me at joe@joescuba.com if you have questions.
