A long history of diving experience
Founder Wayne Gomer became interested in the ocean at a very early age and started his diving career in the 1960s when he made his first scuba dive off the Island of Bermuda. That experienced sparked a 40+ year career that includes becoming a NAUI instructor in 1976 and a PADI instructor in 1978. As an instructor, Wayne is proud to have introduced thousands of new divers to the sport.

The reason generations have been faithful to Divers Market is simple Customer Service ( you won't get that on the internet). Wayne and his staff provide the very best in service, sales, training and dive trip planning. Wayne truly loves what he's doing and it shows.

Dan S, Lakeville MA

In all of our dealings over the years I have always felt that Wayne was always putting our interests first. He wasn’t just recommending what would be best for his bottom line.

Keith R, Cape Cod MA

On a side note the one thing that always comes to mind when I think about you and all the dives we have done together over the years is that no matter what happens the first thing you say after is THAT WAS A GREAT DIVE. I can't thank you enough for friendship over the years you are a very special guy and I look forward to the next GREAT DIVE!

Jack L, Bonaire

So very fortunate to have traveled the world on so many Diving Adventures that have defined me today as the person and scuba diver that I could only hope to be.

Philip L, Framingham MA

Kelly L, Bonaire

If you are wondering where to dive next, Wayne at Divers Market is a great resource. He has first hand knowledge of dozens of great dive locations the world over, and there’s a good chance he will be able to match you with just the right place. It’s always a joy to drop in the store and chat about diving with someone who is such a real expert.

Keith R, Cape Cod MA

I have been going to Divers Market for the past 10 years since I received my first certification from them. Everyone there is an expert at diving with significant experience and a great passion for diving. And, they are all so friendly, they make you feel part of their "dive family"!

Tim S, Plymouth MA

As a non-diving spouse, I always feel as welcome in the shop and on the trips as though I were an experienced diver. Diver’s Market always makes me feel as though I’m part of the family. My needs as a snorkeler are treated with the same attention and care as if I were a trained diver.
