OUR STORY
Bamboo Reef has been serving Bay Area divers since 1961, and Monterey Bay divers since 1970. We are proud to be one of a handful of SSI Platinum Training Facilities worldwide, which means we have the experience and knowledge to train dive instructors as well as students.
Founded by Al Giddings in 1961, the business was owned and operated from 1972-2016 by Sal Zammitti; with 5 stores throughout the Bay Area at one point. Bamboo Reef is now owned by the father/son team of Mark and Brian Stanley.
Brian and Mark have been working in the SCUBA industry since 2004 and have more than 30 years of experience between the 2 of them.
