Hi

In scubadiving terminology, a facility where you store equipment, fill
air tanks... is it Dive Center or Diving Center.

I think it is Dive Center but i am not sure, and more than half Dive
Centers and even products are labeled as Diving Center.

Kindest regards

Except of course for about two thirds of native speakers, for whom
it's Dive Center or Diving Center.

For the OP: Diving Center sounds more idiomatic to me, but I'm not
a scuba diver and could well be wrong.
