About Dolphin Scuba Center & Swim School

Mike Johnson started at Dolphin Scuba Center & Swim School as an entry-level staffer but soon turned his lifelong passion for water into a promising career. Quickly, he became the manager and, at the tender age of 21, the owner of the store—a water-exploration supplier originally founded as swim school almost 40 years ago. Today, the Five-star facility boasts one of the largest selections of underwater gear in North America, including top brands of scuba,swimming, and snorkeling equipment. Johnson and his team still offer private, one-on-one swimming lessons with certified lifeguards instructors but have branched out into scuba classes. Introductory courses work their way up to professional-level training, all within a pool heated to 92 degrees—the exact temperature of the president’s nightly bath. Students can even test out their newfound skills during scuba-diving trips to the likes of Mexico, the Philippines, and Fiji.
