Equipment service and support
Octopus Gardens is home to Dive Tech, Inc., which maintains and services recreational and commercial dive gear. It also provides air quality tests, commercial dive services, video, custom group trips, and education.
Don Peterson’s diving career has followed the development of the industry’s gear. He started diving in the early 70’s on a double hose reg and turned professional in the 80’s as the dive industry began serving a more diverse population. In the 90’s Octopus Gardens was born and Diane joined forces with Don to develop custom education and travel packages. Don and Diane also became involved in tech diving and video production.
