Specifications may change without notice.  Items in this catalog and web site come from various sources around the world.  We're bound to fluctuating currency exchange rates which occasionally affect prices.  And some products are discontinued without our prior knowledge.  All items offered for sale are subject to availability.  If we find an item in your order has changed, we'll notify you immediately.

Corporate and Government Sales

We have a history of working with many of the local government agencies in terms of fulfilling their diving equipment needs. Plus we have worked with numerous businesses to ensure that they receive the equipment that they need. In dealing with these orders we find that many organizations need a specialized selection of gear, the best way for us to help fulfill an order is to contact us directly. We can be reached at (716) 837-3483 or toll free at (716) 691-9100, Monday through Saturday 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. EST.

Items Damaged During Delivery

Dip 'N Dive takes great pride in the way that we pack orders. If you receive an item and you find an item damaged, we ask that you first call the shipping company and they will issue a Damage Call Tag. Then give us a call with the Tag number and we will take it up with the shipper. As for the item we will send you a packing label, all you have to do is stick the label on the box and drop it off at your local ups store. Once we receive the item here we will ship out a replacement.

Order Processing and Shipping Time

We are constantly working on improving our order processing and shipping proccesses.  Currently Order processing takes anywhere between 3-5 business days.  Shipping time varies on destinations.  In cases where free shipping is selected for orders over $50, Dip 'N Dive reserves the right to choose the shipping carrier, regardless of the carrier selected at the time of order.  If you have a specific request regarding the carrier used, please call us prior to your order being placed.

Payment Methods

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. All orders placed through the website are secure so that means all of your information is encrypted.

b.     SCUBA gear is backed by manufacturer’s warranties. If you buy from an authorized dealer (like us), you will be notified in the event of a safety recall.
