Founded in the 1950s by local skin-diving legend Gary Keffler, Underwater Sports began as a response to the lack of accessible dive gear and training in Seattle. Keffler established the business as a one-stop destination for equipment, instruction, and underwater adventure, transforming it into a lasting institution. The company continues to test top brands in scuba and snorkeling gear to ensure quality and performance. It supports a wide range of clients, including first responders such as local police, fire departments, and harbor patrol.

The business is located on Pacific Hwy S B in Federal Way, situated just a short distance from the intersection of 16th Avenue South and South 348th Street. It lies near Pacific Highway South, with nearby landmarks including DHL, a post office, and El Centro Skate Rink, both within a quarter-mile radius.
