About Us 

For more than 50 years, Diver’s World has been a pillar of the local dive community. Established in 1975, the dive center has built a longstanding reputation for quality training, exceptional service, and a passion for adventure.

Today, under the ownership of Nicole Tupek, Diver’s World continues to honor that legacy while creating new opportunities for divers of all ages and experience levels. The dive center offers training at every level, group travel experiences, equipment service, gear sales and rentals. Diver's World carefully selects only the highest-quality products for its customers.

Born and raised in Erie, Nicole is passionate about both her community and the sport of diving. Her vision for Diver’s World extends beyond certifications—her goal is to develop skilled, confident divers who are prepared for a lifetime of adventure. She is dedicated to creating opportunities for local divers and youth through community group dives, free educational seminars, youth summer camps, and monthly open pool sessions that encourage divers to build and maintain their skills in a welcoming environment. Married to her husband Mark for 11 years and a mother of three, Nicole loves both traveling and diving locally. Of all the experiences diving has provided, her favorite remains introducing students to the underwater world and watching them experience the excitement and wonder of their first adventures beneath the surface.
