About Mike's Dive Store:

Mike’s London Dive Store may have been established for more than thirty years but its history goes back much further than that. It’s founder, big Mike Calder, was the super-salesman at a dive store in Fulham Palace Road in West London. A local lad who was larger in life than in so many ways, he was so successful at serving divers with the equipment that suited their needs best that people beat a path to his door from all over the country.

Mike was a diver and he believed that if his customers were satisfied they’d return. He took the long view. He was eventually so successful that other dive shop owners even protested he was distorting the market.

It was inevitable that he would set up in business for himself and with the help of a local friend started selling dive equipment from a warehouse at Richmond’s waterside. Eventually he moved the business to the more accessible premises it is in today.

Mike was a giant of the UK’s diving industry in many more ways than one and all who knew him were shocked when he was suddenly taken from us long before his time, in 2009.

Still in his early teens, Scuba Steve started diving in the Sinai in 1989, in the days when Red Sea liveaboard operations were truly pioneering. He accompanied skipper Jan Ellingsen on Colona IV on a 1200 nautical mile trip down to the Sudan and learned to dive on the way. A few exciting encounters with grey reef sharks and he was hooked.

He worked alongside Mike and purchased Mike’s Dive Store when it became available. Mike’s son chose to sell to Steve because he could see that Steve had the same passion as his dad for scuba diving and was confident that he would carry on the tradition of good service and advice from a position of a wealth of knowledge very much as his dad had done.

Mike’s Dive Store is not about shifting boxes of product but having the patience to understand the particular needs and wishes of every one of its individual customers. That’s you!

There are very many aspects to the underwater world and Steve has seen most of them. He instils in his staff this philosophy to only sell the right tools for the job and many of the currently regular customers will tell you that it was Mike sold them their first set of diving equipment. Mike may have passed away but Mike’s Dive Store is alive and well, and Scuba Steve is carrying on the traditions that Mike established for it.

Used this on a couple of dives and very pleased with it. Its clear display and audible alarm make it easy to use. To connect to computer you need a ~£50 cable. This allows you to download the log book to free software from Mares site. Depth and temp against time shown graphically with lots of other info you can enter manually. Also looks good as a watch!

This was my first purchase from Mike's Dive Store and I will be sure to make future purchases. I found the price to be the best on the web and delivery was quick. I haven't dived with the watch yet but so far I am pleased with it.

Bought as back-up for British diving and for clear water holidays. Has only been used for two dives so far but works well. Display seemed easier to see than my bigger main computer in dim light without using backlight. It is nice that the Smart computer counts down the 3 minute safety stop in minutes and seconds rather than just minutes, which makes this time seem less!

Following the purchase of my Mares Smart Dive Computer from Mike's Divestore, I received the computer really quickly. Mike's Divestore had the best prices by far for this computer and provided great customer service. As a new diver this computer appears to do everything I will need from it and more that I don't need yet. The menus are very easy to work through. Its a lot slimmer than a lot of dive computers out there to the extent I would happily take this on holiday as my only watch. With the sleep mode its great to be able to conserve the battery power when not diving. I can't wait to take it on my first dive.
