We’re a passionate family-run dive shop offering our community retail, repairs, diving classes, and exciting scuba trips to Lake Michigan!
Father and son duo, Rod and Mike Pedersen, have always loved diving, so they decided to share that passion with their Plainfield-area community and opened Dive Right In Scuba. Since we opened in 2006, our shop’s grown to offer gear retail and repair, diving classes, and scuba trips to Lake Michigan. We have everything you need to get started on a new type of adventure. Our team can get you ready to experience the freedom and excitement you only get diving underwater -- and you know you’re getting the best because one of the top scuba training agencies awarded us facility of the year.
