Scuba Center Fun Dives

Fun Dives | Local Diving | There is nothing quite like the freedom of shore diving. There’s a certain sense of self-reliance and spontaneity when you’re equipped to go amphibian and walk directly from the land into the sea. While boat diving has its appeal, diving from any shore you fancy is its own kind of fun. Get advice from the locals. While some popular shore diving destinations have marked entry points along local beaches, others aren’t so user friendly. Ask at the local dive shop or resort for advice on the best shore diving locations and how best to dive them. Let's go diving!  Join us on one of our summer fun dives ad explore some of the lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin.  It's a great way to gain experience, maintain proficiency between major dive trips, meet other divers, learn about the local marine environment, and maybe find a new diving location.  Dives are hosted by one of our staff.  All dives are FREE other than gear rental, if needed, and park entry fees.

Pre-registration is required. Please register 48 hours prior to the dive to let us know how many divers to expect. Call the Minneapolis store at (612) 925-4818 or E-mail us.
