Scuba Center Dive Travel

Travel with friends. Dive with purpose.

Instructor-led group trips to the world’s most extraordinary dive destinations, from Caribbean reefs to the Coral Triangle and Antarctica.

Dive travel since the 1970s

It started with a van headed to the Florida Keys

Scuba Center’s travel story began on the road, with van trips south to the Keys. Those early adventures sparked a lasting passion for exploration and camaraderie.

Decades later our destinations span the globe, from the coral reefs of Fiji to the icy waters of Antarctica, but the spirit hasn’t changed. Whether it’s your first group trip or your fifteenth, you’re joining a community that has been diving together for over 50 years. Every trip is led by a Scuba Center PADI professional.

How it works

Group travel made easy

Led by our pros

Every group trip is hosted by a Scuba Center PADI Instructor or travel specialist.

Refundable deposits

Reserve with a refundable deposit; see each trip’s cancellation policy for details.

Non-divers welcome

Many trips offer non-diver pricing so partners and friends can share the adventure.

Dive with DAN

We strongly recommend DAN membership and dive medical insurance on every trip.

All quoted rates include a 3% discount for cash or check payment. International airfare not included unless noted.

Local diving

Great diving, closer than you think

Quarry lakes, Lake Superior shipwrecks and moonlit dusk dives. Our local fun dives are the best way to log dives, meet buddies and stay sharp between trips.

Divers after a local lake dive
Diving in Minnesota? Display a diver-down flag, stay within 50 ft of it, and limit four divers per flag. Night divers must carry a light visible for 150 ft. Always check current DNR rules before you dive.
