In Srq there are three good shops worth mentioning that I know of.

Florida Underwater Sports - PADI Florida Underwater Sports Home
Located on the South US 41 between the Gulf gate Mall and Sarasota Square Mall. About 1.5 miles south of Stickney Point Rd.
I did classes through them. (OW and Nitrox) ScubaPro dealer, newer shop, lots of newer types goodies on the the walls and awesome instructors.

ScubaQuest - NAUI Scuba Quest
Located also on US 41, they're just North of Bahia Vista Ave. Great prices. Tent sales 4 to 5 times a year. Get most fills there due to the ease of location.

Ocean Pro Dive Shop - PADI Welcome to oceanprodive.com
Location is on Bee Ridge Rd about 3/4 mile East from US 41 (Yes, US 41 cuts through SRQ). Smaller shop but older LOTS of goodies on walls. Big selection of suits. Average pricing.

PM me or Repost for add. info
