Do to the decline of the building, and more. The very great possibility of that whole corner being demolished, Fantasea Scuba made the decision to move to a new location as of Aug. 1, 2016. Our new location is as follows (2687 W. Wayzata Blvd., Long Lake, MN 55356). We know that this could be closer for some people and that moving it will be farther now for some people. We would really hope that we can keep all of our customers, but that is not always the case. Thank You very much for all of your support over the years.
Gary and all of the staff.

This is what Scubalab said. LET’S GET SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ScubaLab hit the road to dive one of Florida's largest clear-water caverns, The Blue
Grotto, and try out some of the latest cold-water scuba gear. The cavern reaches
depths of 100 feet and is a consistent 72 degrees year-round — perfect conditions
for putting cold-water gear through its paces.
SORRY 72 DEGREES DOESN’T MAKE IT, & IT’S NOT PUTTING EQUIPMENT THROUGH ITS PACES.
