Be sure to post your dive date, time & location on the AUC FACE BOOK page (be sure to provide just enough info that you feel comfortable sharing with the world wide web!).
Or consider joining in the fun at an AUC Alberta dive event or lake cleanup or contact a dive club in your area.
Check with your local favourite dive store or local scuba instructor for their listings of upcoming courses, travel to BC or exotic dive travel destinations which are often led by local scuba instructors or dive centre personnel or dive travel specialists as this is another great way to meet other divers!
Why scuba dive in Alberta??
Scuba diving in Alberta from early spring to late fall & even winter offers many, very unique opportunites for divers. From experiencing the crystal clear waters with spectacular mountain vistas, or particpating in recovering trash from some of Alberta's busiest & popular beaches (like the Sylvan Lake or Banff Lake Cleanups) to exploring Alberta's underwater heritage at submerged dams, townsite or an abandoned steam paddlewheeler to shooting a few rounds of upside-down "under ice" golf during winter. Alberta's scuba diving experieces can be fun, diverse, challenging and rewarding.
Certified only in the tropics & brand-new to local diving in Alberta?
Contact your local favourite or nearest Dive Centre/Retailer or instructor for an Open Water Guided Dive with a divemaster/instructor (extra fee) or take an "Advanced Specialty" - both are a great value with personalized service to orient tropical or new divers to Alberta's sometimes challenging conditions & the extra equipment required (extra weight, hood, gloves, heavier wetsuit or a drysuit).
Seen a few "expert" divers while enjoying your tropical vacation or recent cruise? Wish that comfortable & confident scuba diver was you?
