Well, I'm trying to touch base with anyone who knows the owner of this one shop... The guy was a big part of my youth and feeding my drive to be a wreck diver...

Good luck, my friend.

There are several sources for dive shop names, 1) the now defunct. "Skin Diver Magazine: a magazine for skin divers and spear fishermen," which published listings of both dive shops and dive clubs 2) a number of vintage books contained the same information in the same format .

If I had additional information such as approximate year (s) location such as street name and approximate block number I could review my resources and probably provide you with a name,

But I won't !

Well Sam, If you would change your mind.... The address would have been like
5660 Old Sunrise Hwy
Massapequa, NY 11758

Sports and touring garage was on the next lot in the back... They were a scuba pro dealer... And that old two man yellow sub in the front yard....

The shop on Jamaica near 160th in NY was Central Skindiver's, famous for their ads featuring "Honest Archie." I remember it well, and I grew up on the West Coast.
