“Gary Waid is an excellent instructor. I took the Advanced Open Water certification under his tutelage. The training took place at Lake Phoenix in Rawlings, Virginia. It was a great place to experience a cold thermocline and diving in low visibility. I would highly recommend Southern Maryland Divers and their instructor Gary Waid.”

“Marcus was a phenomenal instructor. Very knowledgeable and has been a tremendous asset in gaining comfort and direction as I begin in this new hobby. The shop was well appointed and able to guide me in outfitting necessities without spending more than I needed. Would definitely recommend the shop and Marcus!”

“Southern Maryland divers helped to scuba certify my sons. Boy Scout troop. They did an awesome job supporting the scouts to get certified. They were detailed oriented and very encouraging. My younger son had ear problems during the initial certification class, and Markus went way above and beyond and made a special trip (essentially giving up his own Sunday) to help ensure my son was able to get certified and make…”

“Wonderful organization, staff, and business! Happy my daughter was able to open water certified via College of Southern Maryland and my son was able to try out scuba on site via Southern Maryland Divers sponsoring PADI's Discover Scuba. Kudos to Andy and Paul!”

“Both Marcus Castro (dive instructor) and Paul (owner) have been nothing short of fantastic to work with. I am a new diver and Marcus got me through the open water certification in time for a dive trip to Costa Rico. He’s calm, patient and explains things clearly. Paul got me outfitted with great advice to new divers. You will not regret working with SoMdDivers!”

“Great group of people! I got certified 6 years ago and came back in July 2025 and took a 2 hour refresher course. Some of the same people were still instructing. Andy, Paul, and Dan were great and the refresher course covered the basics and then allowed us to practice skills that I would need for my future dives.”

“These guys are great. Customer service is excellent, all instructors are professionals, kind, and always willing to help. Special thanks to Gary. He is a fantastic instructor, very patient and always full of good tips. He’s all about safety and technique helped us a lot with our training. If your are looking to get certified I cannot think of a better place. Also, I already got all my equipment from SOMD and they…”

“Brand new diver for context. Southern Maryland has a great dive shop, John G helped me get everything I needed for my certification dives and (compared to my friends who went elsewhere) John's advice made a difference! I do honestly feel that I got better equipment for a better price by chatting with John about the pros/cons of each piece of equipment both in terms of price & function. My friend and I also got our…”
