History

Harry Truitt started teaching scuba courses out of the back of his ford van in 1968.

After receiving new orders from the air force, Harry came to Washington’s McChord Air Force Base, now JBLM. He met Joe Laburdi and they decided to create Puget Sound Lighthouse which later became Lighthouse Diving Center.

The original shop was in Renton and couple years later, the Lake City way store was opened.

Lynnwood store off of 196th Street was opened in 1983 became the headquarters for Lighthouse for 39 years.

In 2022, Lighthouse Diving Center moved to its current 13718 31st avenue facility merging both the Lake City Way location and the Lynnwood location to one super center located of Mukilteo Speedway in Lynnwood.
