Your home shop
Steel City Scuba has been turning Pittsburghers into divers since 2008, one cold quarry checkout at a time.
We're a genuine full-service shop: a teaching center, a factory-authorized service department, a retail floor, and a travel desk.
Our instructors teach small and teach often, with weekly pool nights at CCAC Allegheny and checkout weekends at Bainbridge.
As a founding affiliate of PGH Dive Labs, our calendar, roster and reviews all sync to the Lab.
Walk in with a question, leave with a plan. That's the whole pitch.
6 reasons to train here
Small classes, always
Capped at a 1:4 instructor ratio. You get water time and attention, not a crowded pool deck.
Cold-water specialists
We train for the diving you'll actually do here. Drysuit and quarry skills are baked in.
Service done in-house
Factory-trained techs, 48-hour turnaround.
No-pressure retail
We fit gear to the diver, not the diver to the inventory.
Trips that actually run
Six group trips a year, led by our own staff.
Verified & transparent
Every review and credential is verified through PGH Dive Labs.
