Diver Jdiames would like to thank Jack LaPente of Jack's Dive Center of Plainville, CT for being my guest on the show.

Jack’s Dive Center, Inc. , has been serving the needs of divers since 1975. We are the oldest and most experienced Master Scuba Training Facility in Connecticut. Jack received the SSI Platinum Pro 5000 award in 1994, the most prestigious award offered by the diving industry, in recognition of his work in the area of dive training, equipment testing, diving experience (over 8000 dives to date), and community service.

Because of our experience in the area of dive equipment, we have been chosen by most all of the top line equipment manufacturers as direct distributors, enabling us to offer our customers the finest life support equipment available, at the lowest possible prices.

Our Diver Training programs are second to none, offering low student to instructor ratios and very personalized attention. We provide all levels of training from beginner to advanced, and beyond.

Please see our TRAINING PAGE for dates.


Dive travel has always been very important to us. Jack was the first person to take divers from New England to the Cayman Islands, over 30 years ago. He has made 76 trips to Grand Cayman alone, and can lead you to his secret dive locations, known only to himself and his group, but not to the local Divemasters, assuring you pristine reefs and mind blowing diving. Our travel itinerary covers the Bahamas, Caribbean, South Pacific, and local waters. We are also a wholesaler for the famous PETER HUGHES DIVING , offering the finest in live-aboard diving experiences.

Please see our TRAVEL PAGES for dates and destinations.

We have 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN DIVE TRAVEL, NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN JACK’S.

Our service department has won the Excellence in Service and Repair Award 3 years in a row at the Diving Equipment Marketing Association annual show. We can handle all your maintenance needs professionally and in a timely manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

If ever you get to CT, you need to visit Jack at his shop. He is well informed on the local diving sites. May even get you to go with him. I sure did, lots of times. Better yet, stop in, take a class, buy some gear, or just talk scuba diving.

Again I want to thank Jack LaPenta of Jack's Dive Center for being my honored guest on Scuba Diving - Learn to Dive Safe Talkcast.
