Steve Brown

Managing Director & Owner

With over 3,000 logged dives and credentials including PADI OWSI and RYA Yachtmaster Offshore with commercial endorsement, I’ve spent 16 incredible years working in the dive industry across the Red Sea, Africa, the Mediterranean, and Thailand. Diving is a passion I think about every day, whether it’s the quiet early-morning dives I love for their meditative calm or the unforgettable night at Daedalus in the Red Sea, facing strong currents and shadowy pelagics as I secured the mooring line—truly a moment that stays with me. I’m equally enthusiastic about my dive gear, from my Scubapro Hydros Pro BCD to my Garmin Inreach Dive Bundle, all carefully chosen to keep diving safe, efficient, and enjoyable.

As Managing Director and owner of Mike’s Dive Store, I thrive on the variety my role brings—from problem-solving last-minute dive trips to navigating the challenges of retail and e-commerce. Every day is a chance to make a diver’s experience seamless and memorable. I’m proud to work alongside a fantastic team of experts who share a passion for diving, customer service, and making every visit to Mike’s Dive Store a great one.
