This is a first rate place to learn how to dive. Brad's team is well organized, experienced, enthusiastic...and nice people! They don't cut corners on the training but help you through it. And they make it fun. My final checkout dive was delayed by a family matter so a few weeks later Brad the owner took me though it one-on-one. You can't get more dedicated than that. After certifying I did my first mid-week dive at Gulliver's Lake and what a great way to gain experience when you start out. I'm looking forward to many years at Float N Flag and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn recreational diving.

Brad and the team at Float N Flag are some of the most enthusiastic and organized people we work with. As a dive destination, we see dozens of groups from around the world every season in Tobermory, ON. Brad is always professional, organized, and displaying a true passion for both the sport he loves and the business he runs. We would recommend Float N Flag without hesitation to new divers and experienced divers looking for a great group of people to dive with! Keep up the great work!!!

I recently attended the open water course with my 14 year old son. Rob was a fantastic instructor that took the time to ensure that all of the concepts and skills were understood and mastered. George also assisted in the pool and was kind enough to lend his spare mask to my son after his developed a leak. It is evident that Brad and Tammy run a very organized dive centre. The shop and classroom are clean and the logistics at the pool are well thought out. I highly recommend Float N' Flag Dive Centre.
Dave Pecharich
Just completed open water course March 2018. Awesome experience. Instructors were fun and totally thorough on all skills. I wouldn't look to any other shop. Great value. Feel 100% confident about diving. Float N Flag has an awesome community and has tons of SCUBA events around Ontario and abroad.

Float n Flag is amazing with my Junior Open water divers. My son recently certified and they were very patient and provided lots of encouragement during his lessons when he was nervous. My daughter is excited about her upcoming certification and the staff share her passion for wanting to dive. I am thrilled with the service we receive and proud to call them my home shop.

I have always found Brad and his staff to be very friendly, knowledgeable and not intimidating to newer divers. They always have safety at the forefront but have a lot of fun as well. I just recently came back from my first boat diving holiday in Roatan run by Brad, and apart from being the only one bitten by bugs (not a fault of Float n Flag!), I had a wonderful time. Brad's enthusiasm for diving and underwater creatures is something he passes on to those who dive with him. Thank you so much Brad to you and your staff.
Anne Jackson
Brad and his team were very professional and knowledgeable; they made diving fun and exciting for a new learner. I was impressed with their schedule flexibility and how accommodating they were to my scheduling conflicts. The ratio of instructor to student was great and personal. Diving with Float n Flag felt like being part of a close community.
Sherry Du
Float n' Flag is a top notch dive centre. Brad is extremely safety-conscious and professional and instills these qualities in his dive masters. They go out of their way to ensure divers are comfortable in the water and have the skills required. We recently travelled with Float n' Flag and had an amazing experience. I was really impressed at the organization, thought and care that went into the entire trip experience.
Heather Buerkle
Very professional owner, new to the stores new location and owner but seems like Float N’ Flag’s legacy is in good hands. Looking forward to dealing with them in the near future.
Andrew MacGregor
I have been to a lot of dive shops in the past but Float n' Flag is by far the best shop I have ever seen! Not only does the shop look great every one of the staff is fantastic and I highly recommend FnF to any one interested in becoming a scuba diver!
