Dan’s Dive Shop is proud to offer Canadians the best selection of scuba gear in store and online from the industry’s most best brands.  Please Be Aware That We Do Not Have a Live Inventory, so please confirm stock status before placing time sensitive orders.

You can contact us immediately at 9059842160 or email us our Orders Department

We offer a 30 day return policy on unused items that are normally stocked items. Special Order items will be subject to a restocking fee.  Drysuits and Heated Undersuits are considered “Special Order” and are not returnable, so please verify sizing before you order.

Updated Return Policy

  • If it is within 30 days and the items are in new condition with original packaging, there is a 100% in store credit on any regularly stocked item (less shipping costs).  This does not apply to special orders (custom made suits, tall or short sizes, rare colours, stock or custom drysuits and garments, 1 off items that take 2-4 weeks to receive and will be hard to re-sell).  
  • Refunds are available less (less shipping costs and any duty paid on out of country products) the PayPal transaction fee (approximately 3% of) that they take as a transaction fee. These are not returned to the merchant when you want a refund. This amount will not be returned to you, the buyer, if you decide a refund is necessary if you cannot find a suitable substitute replacement for the product initially purchased. We are sorry for this, it’s beyond our control. The Best We Can Do is Leave a Credit for the Paypal fees paid out on your account as a credit towards a future purchase.
  • There Are No Refunds On Scuba Courses, Drysuits, Heated Undergarments or Trips, Credit Only for Trip Balances.  Deposits are non-refundable.
  • If you order a product that is normally stocked and it doesn’t fit, no problem!  If we have another one in stock in the next size up or down or can get one easily, we will happily switch it for a replacement; simply just ship it back to us at your cost and you can arrange a pickup of the replacement or have it shipped to you (additional costs may apply).
  • If items have been unused but packaging is destroyed, products can still be returned for store credit worth 80% of the purchase price.
  • If items have been used we can take regularly stocked items back within 30 days at a 75% store credit.
  • Re-Stocking Fees will be applied on all special orders at a 60% refund or in-store credit, so please double check manufacturer size charts before placing your order. This is especially important on wetsuits and drysuits.
  • Returning items is simple, please call the store for a return authorization number and we’ll await your return and take the appropriate action in your best interest.

Returning An Item

  1. Pack the item(s) securely. All returned products should be in the condition they were received in, as well as in their original packaging. Please remember to include all warranty cards and manuals.
  2. Please include the Return Authorization Number written on the outside of the box and also written on a copy of your receipt. DO NOT Send us a package without an Return Authorization or it will be refused, which will cost you more money to re-send it again.
  3. Send your package via Canada Post or appropriate Canadian parcel carrier for shipments within in Canada.  US Shipments returned via courier will be refused (due to high duty and brokerage fees if declared value is over $1.00).  We only accept US shipments back using US Postal Service.  Return Instructions from the US will be given upon phone call or email.  International Shipments must be sent standard mail.
