Our History
Northwest Pennsylvania’s premier full-service dive center.
Divers World has been a cornerstone of the diving community in Erie, PA since it first opened its doors in the early 1970s. Originally founded to serve the growing interest in scuba diving around the Great Lakes, the shop quickly became known for its expert instruction, quality gear, and strong sense of community. Over the decades, Divers World has introduced thousands of people to the underwater world, from local quarry dives to open water adventures across the globe. As the sport has evolved, so has the shop—continuing to offer top-notch training, equipment, and service while staying true to its roots as Erie’s dive center.
