Eastern Sports is your go-to small business for all outdoor recreational needs. The company was developed by Dr. Phil DePalo who fell in love with outdoor and scuba-related pursuits. The company has humble beginnings starting with a small trailer to where we are now with multiple rental locations, a retail store, and an eCommerce website. Being a small company in Baltimore, we have big plans to branch out and reach out to as many people, communities, and areas as possible.
One of our main goals is to try and get people to experience watersports in a variety of ways if they haven’t before. Eastern Watersport focuses on making sports and outdoor recreation accessible. We make sports equipment affordable for all through quality, tested, and warrantied pre-owned equipment. Our goal is for people of all ages and experiences to get out there and try something new!
Phil DePalo's journey into the world of scuba diving entrepreneurship is truly inspiring. Driven by his passion for the sport and a desire to make it accessible to more people, he embarked on a mission to share his love for the underwater world without breaking the bank. Starting by purchasing pre-owned scuba gear, Phil breathed new life into equipment that might otherwise go to waste, offering it at a much more affordable price. His commitment to accessibility didn’t stop there—he expanded his offerings by partnering with various brands to bring new products into his shop. This approach allows scuba enthusiasts, regardless of their experience level, to explore every option available and embark on their underwater adventures with confidence. Phil’s dedication to both sustainability and inclusivity has made his business a valuable resource for the scuba community.
