    Well-stocked shop for advanced divers, sidemount fans but of course also beginners. The advice from Mathias and his employees is professional. Good service and the prices are also right, you feel in good hands here. Keep it up! Greetings Steffen

    Caution! (Santi-Trocki purchase) Unfortunately, my experience with buying drysuits (Santi) from Mathias/ Tauchfan.de can now be rated as very negative, so I would recommend that you go to another dealer for this particular issue. Since a detailed description of the defect, including photos and an additional legal review, did not lead to the suit being withdrawn, the matter was ultimately taken over by a lawyer. Despite all efforts to find a good solution, Mathias has now let the last deadline pass without any reaction (head in the sand...), so that a lawsuit is now being filed and we have to go to court. (as of January 17, 2024) The approach of supporting the small, friendly shop and wanting to buy a beautiful new dry suit (along with a wide range of accessories) with great anticipation unfortunately now results in a lot of effort, waiting and shaking of the head. Nobody needs that. Background for those interested: After a long drive (almost 6 hours in total) I was there to get advice from Santi about a new dry suit. The personal appointment was preceded by an extensive email in which I communicated very specifically my ideas and needs regarding fit, material and intended use. Finally, Mathias took measurements to ensure the best possible fit thanks to Santi's free measurement change option. Theoretically... The first contact made me initially confident. Mathias personally made a very nice and professional impression. However, immediately after the deposit, things went downhill. Questions were only responded to after repeated reminders, although some questions were simply not answered at all, also despite repeated requests. After I had to wait significantly longer for the suit (a quarter of a year!) than Mathias had once advised, the surprise was big - unfortunately not in a good way. The suit is cut either way too wide or way too tight in several places and clearly doesn't fit my body measurements. It was so tight in the shoulder, arm and back areas that I couldn't even safely reach the valves to be able to react accordingly in an emergency. The attached boots are approx. 4cm too big. The seams/patches on the inlet and outlet valves are also not glued cleanly and protrude from the suit material. This has nothing to do with Mathias, but rather questions Santi's workmanship quality. But my criticism is more about the reaction to it and the possible lack of willingness to take proper care of it. Regarding the poor workmanship, Mathias recommended that I simply send the suit directly to Santi in Poland. They would then take care of the repairs... After waiting for a quarter of a year and with such a high-priced, brand new product, I have a different idea of ​​a solution. Regarding the wrong suit dimensions, I should just travel to Berlin again to “look at, document and discuss”. Apart from the unreasonableness, it is also pointless. Everything is already documented in detail; photographed and the suit is (at least for my body measurements) impossible to save in this form. Since August 2023 (over five months to date) I have not held a submersible suit in my hands nor have the money back in my account. Whatever (personal?) reasons there may be for not wanting to deal with the matter adequately, in my opinion it still doesn't justify treating your customers like that. I wouldn't wish such experiences on anyone - so I would like to share them here.

    We ordered sidemount and cave diving equipment online from the diving fans and received very good and, above all, very quick advice in advance. Many thanks to Mathias for this ;-) Payment and shipping were also super fast.

    The most competent diving and sidemount shop in Berlin and Brandenburg. Also tech equipment, as well as the only and well-stocked provider in Berlin for SANTI dry diving systems. Great friendly and competent advice, as well as training in TDI/SDI, RAZOR, ToddyStyle, XDEEP, and much more. Mathias Grützmacher is what you can call an all-round carefree package😄👍 The “diving” addiction started in 2014 and my first contact (together with my daughter) and probably the only one is Mathias Grützmacher! He taught me and my daughter everything, with a lot of patience and kindness. It's just fun to learn training from him (no matter how difficult or strenuous). At no time did I feel unsafe or unprepared. Thank you for your patience Mathias🫶. All of my equipment was specially adapted and ordered by him for me; at no time did I have the feeling that something unnecessary or useless had been purchased! We got along so well right from the start that a friendship developed that continues uninterrupted to this day and so that I and two other “diving fans” meet once a week in his shop and help him out on a voluntary basis. There is always something to do😉

    Great advice! A lot of time is taken. I will definitely buy my more diving equipment here. In my opinion the only technical diving shop in Berlin and the surrounding area.

  • 5/5 Anton S. 1 year ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Definitely the best dive shop in Berlin. Competent advice without giving you the feeling that something is being talked into you. Diving equipment and courses at a fair price. The service is incredibly good and if they don't have something in stock, everything can be ordered (even if it can sometimes take a little longer due to the partners). Matze, keep it up. :)

    The small but nice opportunity, apart from "web shopping", to provide yourself with equipment with personal advice as well as extensive tailor-made service and training offers.
