About Us

100% American Grade A+ Divers!

If you could hire the staff for a scuba business, what criteria would you use? First, throw out the corporate hiring handbook. And the HR departments profile tests... not gonna happen. How about the online resume services that get you a pile of candidates? No #@%&*#$% way!

Forget the fluffy marketing language, let’s talk straight. Here's our Application: First question: Do you dive? Second question: Do you have passion for diving, the sea, adventure & fun? Then Show me. We were tired of the corporate structure that emphasizes profit over people and micro-manages their people to extremes. So we cut up our ties, put on flip flops and jumped into the dive world. We don’t copy anyone! No flowery focus group marketing language here. Every dive related position is filled with a person passionate about scuba diving and their next dive. They have to be because they don’t make squat for pay.

Our Staff Includes:

3 Master instructor trainers
1 Master Diver
10 Instructors
4 Dive Masters
1 Advanced Diver
3 Service Tech Ninjas (All Instructors)
1 Book Keeper (Non Diver, but we're working on her)

We have the only village of Menehunes outside of Hawaii to work on gear that the Tech Ninjas can't fix. Cute little guys, but they are mischievous as all get out. A secret you can't tell anyone else is we have Obi wan Kenobi as one of our service techs. He swears that his name is Larry, but I've seen him work some magic on his own. Have to keep him separated from the Menehune's. Tools flying, Hawaiian curse words, spears through the door. It's a mess.

We tell it like it is, Normal is boring, We lead, don't follow, with all our strength, and Average is a bad word around here!

WE ARE:

Divers that love diving with a passion.
Purchasers just like you.
Blessed to do what we love for a job.
Certified dealers with full "Factory" warranties.
Dedicated to protect you from junk and improve the Dive industry.
Regular Folks. Freddy was a Real Estate Broker. Ariece was a waitress.

WE ARE NOT:

Corporate Giants.
Wealthy Attorneys sitting in a high rise office.
One of the online stores that cheat to succeed and hurt the little guys out there.
The #1 online Scuba Retailer... Yet!

Ariece - Responsibility Dept. (She's the only one in that dept.)

Small but mighty this one. A native of Colorado she is a horse whisperer, dog rescuer, animal lover. Willing to try almost anything, she rides dirt bikes, camps, hikes, fishes for trigger in Baja, and Pike as big as her in Minnesota. And now Scuba Dives where ever, unless its cold and murky. We confess that she is the responsible one around here. She has the most important job, keeping things running smooth when Freddy is out playing, and he plays a lot!

Freddy - Dive Enthusiast. "Hey, I grew up watching Sea Hunt and Jacques Cousteau, I just had to dive". Freddy was certified at 11 years old - diving has been a passion for a long long time. He would love to have a TV show that would inspire people to dive.

Freddy's grandfather was an original "Frog Man" in the Navy. He was the first person in history to dive to 500 feet deep. Freddy has the Hard Hat Helmet that it was performed in. So you could say it's in his blood.

He's a little hyper and a little nuts, but he is the most passionate person about diving we know, so if you see Tigger, Superman, Batman or a 210 lb lobster diving, then it is probably Freddy in one of his many costumes.

Equipment Reviews

We really are all divers here and we test, demo and dive with every product we can. This allows us to accurately share our "No BS" opinion to help you make informed decisions. Obviously if you have a bad experience, you might not want to dive anymore. In our minds that would be a tragedy. Our approach to the equipment reviews are - If you were a best friend, what would we share with you about a piece of gear? If we rate a product low on the B.A. (Bad Ass) scale, then we know you won't purchase it. Exactly the goal!!! Until the product is made better, then we don't want you to waste your hard earned money by purchasing it.

Manufacturers do react to public opinion when the $$$ goes away. We feel that by sharing the truth about products, it will help guide you to purchase quality gear rather than junk. We want to earn your trust and protect you from costly buying mistakes. We feel we are doing the manufacturer a favor as well by highlighting improvements needed. Manufacturers listen, so much so that they send us products to demo and give them our professional opinion prior to releasing to the public.

We care.

Yeah we know, everybody says that. But you have a BS detector in your head, and you can tell when they are just saying it or if they mean it. Well, words mean very little, action demonstrates the truth in our hearts. Not sure why we care so much... maybe our mama raised us right. But, we take pride in doing the right thing. Today peoples' idea of the right thing might be different than ours, but we sleep good at night. So, if you really care about something then you protect it. If you care about people in general, then you try and protect them. Honesty over a sales pitch.

So, that is how Leviathan Scuba was born. Today, we hope you enjoy our approach and we hope to see you diving some where. Say Hi if you see us!

Have Fun and Good Diving, Freddy
