Coordinated Dive Trips and Local Underwater Events

Beaver Lake’s dive season runs mid-May through late September, but that doesn’t stop our diving fun. Ever have the inkling to go on a tropical dive trip adventure with a group? Periodically, we coordinate group dive trips to places like Cozumel or Bonaire. By getting group discounts, we’re able to help divers go on adventures at more affordable rates. We help take care of setting up the dives so you can focus on the fun. We love to plan fun events to celebrate and bring our diving family closer together, like having a luau, a costume party, swap meets, or underwater scavenger hunts and more!
