Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Pismo Beach Dive Shop is a full service dive store, they have most everything you need. They have nice lobster and spearfishing accessories. I get tanks filled here, super quick and they have all sorts of kayak & surfing equipment. The kayak tours in the local Shell Beach reef area & sea caves are super fun. Highly recommend stopping by, there are all kinds of other eclectic local gift items. Bill, the owner is usually around, and can give you good service or ocean advice, he's super salty & a nice guy.

My boyfriend & had an amazing experience! It was the first time we’d been kayaking(I’m terrified of the ocean) but he made sure we were completely geared, we felt comfortable, & would walk us through everything! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! It was fun, humorous, & adventurous.

Plan on spending some time here, there's lots to look at!! Didn't rent SUP's from him it was too rough in Pismo, but even if you aren't looking to rent or five with them it's worth going to see a little piece of Pismo surf history, and Bill is super cool to talk to!!!

It's a neat shop of nick nacks that are hard to come by. We bought a mermaid statue that you'll never find elsewhere! The owner, is a surfer-cool nice guy. We made some kind of wheel & deal & Bill, the owner, didn't have any second thoughts & gave in. Please stop by to check out the shop & you might find some treasures in there!

My wife and I had our 10 year old daughter on vacation with us. Pismo Beach Dive Shop accommodated us having a younger child, which the other popular kayak tour biz in the area refused to do. Bill was our guide and he made us feel right at home even though it was our first time kayaking. We not only had a great tour (seeing sea lions up close, sea otters, and dolphins), but Bill took numerous photos along the way and gave us a copy. Kayaking was the highlight of our vacation at Pismo Beach. Highly recommended!

The owner, Bill, was wonderful! He was very accommodating and happy to move our scheduled Kayak tour date when a storm moved in from Alaska! We would have been miserably cold kayaking in the rain and wind! Bill was happy to move it to fit our schedule. Very relaxed but professional and fun! Also, they gave us a DVD full of photo's that Bill took throughout the morning for FREE! Thank you Bill!

If you are considering a kayak tour, I would definitely recommend the Pismo Beach Dive Shop! Great people and very fun!

Took the kayaking tour with Bill and Tommy -- three generations of our family had a great time on the kayaks and all went in the water one way or another! The guides are nice guys, no pressure, very relaxed and encouraging to first time solo (13 years old) and knew those more experienced could do more so they adapted the tour as we went along. Bill took photos and provided them on CD after the tour. After the kayaking we signed our younger son (10) for surf lesson with Tommy and he had a blast with him too. Despite the heavy fog that came in they were out there working hard for the full hour and he did great.

We highly recommend using this group when visiting -- we are return customers and we will be back again soon!

My wife and I are going on an exploration cruise to Fiji, Tonga and Tahiti. We stopped in at the Pismo Dive and Surf shop to purchase rash guard wet suits for the trip.
We met with Bill, the owner of the shop and he helped us to determine the type of suits that would be appropriate for us to purchase.
Although Bill has an extensive inventory of equipment he went out of his way to special order the correct type and size of suits that we should have for our trip.
Bill and his staff were knowledgeable and friendly and when we return we look forward to sharing our experiences with them.

This was my second time kayaking and my Mom's first time. We had a blast. The owner of the shop was our tour guide, he was the best. He made sure we were all safe and educated on what to do. There was another couple that joined us that was a bit apprehensive but at the end of the tour they even said they had fun and felt comfortable. The guide took us to some awesome caves and beaches as well as showed us wildlife and told stories. Everyone at the shop was friendly and personable. We got a CD at the end of the tour that contained pictures that the guide took for and of us while we were out. All of the necessary equipment was provided and was clean and free from dampness and odor. This was definitely a great experience thay I would recommend to anyone and would do again myself. Geat price ($70 a person), definitely worth every penny.
