Southern Ohio Diving Academy is the Miami Valley's most experienced and customer friendly dive center. We take pride in making sure our customers walk away happy. SODA has the largest and most experienced staff of any dive shop in the area. We realize that new divers have many, many questions that need answering. We will answer those questions and talk to you about equipment, classes or trips all day long. That's what we're here for...you.

SODA believes it's not only our job to make you feel right at home in our store, but in the water as well. SODA trains more divers than anyone in the Miami Valley and we take immense pride in knowing that every diver we certify is a safe diver who is comfortable in the water.

SODA also offers the largest in-house inventory of any dive center around. After all, if we don't have the item in stock, how can we sell it to you? Masks, snorkels, fins, computers, regulators, swim gear, bags, watches, dive accessories...you have to stop in to see just how much we have in stock. And if you ever have a problem with an item, SODA works hard to do right by you so you'll keep coming back to us!

And if you need to get away from it all, SODA offers the most exciting diving trips you'll find from any dive center...ANYWHERE. Our trips have been featured in the Dayton Daily News more than once. And they are affordable. We are out of the country every other month and promise if you go on one trip with us...you'll be spoiled for life.

Come in and visit us at 3351 E. Stroop Road in Kettering or at our Vandalia store located at 340 National Road. We're sure you'll notice the difference at SODA. We are told at least once a week by new customers that they really appreciate the way we do business. Well, we do business this way because we appreciate you!

Thanks for your business,

Jim Ikerd - Owner, Southern Ohio Diving
