SCUBA Dive Clubs in Pennsylvania

According to D&R Divers, scuba diving is a cross between an adrenaline rush and serenity where "you start to feel a part of the underwater world." Harrisburg Scuba Center, Atlantic Rangers Scuba Club and D&R Divers are just some of the scuba dive clubs in Pennsylvania. They will teach you the basics, get you certified and provide you with diving experiences in a variety of underwater landscapes.

  1. Harrisburg Scuba Center

    • The Harrisburg Scuba Center is a scuba dive club that has been in operation since 1965, and has certified about 3,700 divers. It is a dive club accredited by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and offers scuba diving and snorkeling classes at recreation centers around Harrisburg. You can become a certified diver by taking the Open Water course, or if you are not sure whether you want diving to be a lifetime hobby, you can take introductory Discover Scuba or Discover Snorkeling courses. You can even take higher learning classes through this dive club, like Advanced Open Water, where they take you on deep and navigation dive trips, or a Dive Master course, if you want to become a certified teacher. Do you want to dive with others, get a refresher, explore new waters or even scuba at night? The club offers day and overnight dive trips to sites around the area or across the country. Finally if you need gear, Harrisburg Scuba Center has a dive shop that sells equipment to meet all of your scuba or snorkeling needs.
