Great trip to Devil's Den and Rainbow Springs March 18-20 with Bob Shaw as instructor for a PADI Openwater Course! Students had a wonderful time and Bob was absolutely terrific. If you are interested in becoming certified, check out Water World!

If you want to learn diving or continue diving skills, Waterworld is the only place to go. They are fun people but very serious about safety and their students. Theses are the professionals that will make you into the diver you should be.

Since more than a few years have passed since my last dive, I participated in a one-day SCUBA refresher course with Karl Kimball via Water World yesterday. The rental equipment was in excellent condition (all new), the WW team was knowledgeable and helpful, and Karl was not only a skilled instructor but also easy to connect with and a lot of fun. In no time at all, I regained both comfort and confidence underwater and now I’m looking forward to planning my next dive trip. Thank you, Karl Kimball and Water World!

WaterWorld had the dive gear I was looking for at competitive prices. I could have ordered o,line from bigger dealers or supply houses, but shipping can be unpredictable this close to Christmas. I bought what I needed and didn't have to pay & gamble on shipping.

My wife and I have visited this dive shop on multiple occasions and we have always been provided exceptional service and attention. Their PADI dive instructors are top notch and made the OW and AOW courses very pleasant, fun, and informative beyond the required dive skills. Someone looking to start their scuba diving hobby would not be disappointed by putting their trust in Water World.
I highly recommend this place when it comes to their diving services. I cannot speak to the boating portion of the shop, but there are plenty of boats on display and the entire building is very clean

We can not be more happy that we purchased our boat from Water World! We went to the boat show in Raleigh and were gathering research as to what kind of boat we would want to purchase. We talked to many dealers at the show. We ended up liking 2 boats. One was a boat from Water World and one was a dealer in Burlington. All I can say, is that we are so thankful and grateful that we ended up purchasing from Water World! First and foremost the staff treats you as family. This is so very important as we are new boat owners As new boat owners we have had a few “learning experiences”. Both times occurred as we were at Falls Lake putting the boat in the water. And both times we were able to call Water Word and bring the boat right over to them! They fixed our problem and we were out on the lake in no time. My husband and I keep saying, “what would we have done or do if we ended up purchasing a boat from an out of the area dealer!” We are so appreciative of all the absolutely wonderful staff.

Went to see about the 23 foot fishing boat, the customer service is second to none. If they had 10 stars I would give it.

The shop is absolutely beautiful!
On top of that, the folks at the shop are extremely knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend anyone interested in diving or boating definitely check out Water World!
It's a great place for both new and experienced divers/boaters.
The service at Water World was more professional and higher quality than any that I've had within the industry.
I would 10/10 recommend this shop!

I purchased a new Starcraft 1915 deck boat from Mike Ley at the Fall boat show in Raleigh NC and not only was it the best price, but the pick up service was awesome! The owner David talked us though every aspect of the boat and motor, in addition Ron took us out on Falls Lake to make sure that everything was working properly...great company, if I could give them a 20 star I would...highly recommend...

I always look to do business with smaller locally owned businesses. I bought a pontoon boat through Water World recently and had a great overall experience. Their pricing is VERY competitive and we saved thousands on the same exact boat we had priced through another boat shop. Water World could get a bit more organized and we did have a small hiccup on the day of pickup, but their team got everything handled and they were more than accommodating. And you can tell they genuinely care and appreciate your business... it doesn't stop at point of sale like most other retailers.
I am confident that if and when I call on their team for any questions or maintenance needs, I'll have the same assistance. (At least I'm hopeful!)
Highly recommended!

Great folks work here. Everyone was helpful, courteous, and tolerant of my stupi questions. I went there to get a paintball tank refilled, not for water recreation stuff. They were just as friendly over my $5 purchase, as they were with people dropping thousands of dollars on SCUBA gear. I will be back!

Being honest, I haven't been to this place yet. But after reading the Owner responses to bad reviews it's obvious he/she cares about each and every customer that comes into the store. Also the responses are quite enjoyable to read!

My first boat purchased from them was in 2000. I bought a 25 footer with inboard outboard engine. They were very responsive and quick to resolve any tweaks that popped up. They have very knowledgeable service technicians that know their stuff.
I made my second boat purchase from them in 2008. Still provided excellent and timely service. I will most likely be purchasing my next boat from them next year when I step back up to a 25 foot or larger to enjoy more fishing at the coast. I am also a scuba diver and have always been provided with reliable regulator rebuilds and equipment overhauls. The dive shop personnel aren't just sales people, they are divers and will work with you to help you find the right gear for your needs. I can say that I have been a satisfied customer for more than 18 years now.
