Best Dive Shop (2012)

Bamboo Reef

614 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey

372-1685, www.bambooreef.com

Divers actually spend relatively little time underwater. That’s the problem with breathing compressed air. They are, however, great talkers. And that’s one of Bamboo Reef’s great charms. It’s a great place to just hang out and yap about diving with like-minded merpeople. Under the same ownership for 32 years, Bamboo Reef employs highly knowledgeable local guides, technically adept dive masters and even ex-Fish and Game wardens who know their spearfishing. Add to that a vast array of equipment, guided classes and reliable rentals, and you’ve got the best dive shop in a county known for its world-class diving.
