Underwater Connection + Diventures is your home for swim lessons and scuba training along the Front Range! Underwater Connection was founded in Colorado Springs in 1989 by Troy Juth and became part of Diventures in 2023. We now offer additional capabilities and continue to deliver the amazing customer service that allowed Troy and the team to be the lead dive business in Colorado and top five in the United States.
We offer group and private swim lessons, scuba training, dive gear from all major brands, technical diving, freediving, snorkeling, and a full-service travel agency with dozens of international destinations every year. Our mission is to teach customers and their children not only how to be safe around the water, but how to have loads of fun!
Learn to scuba dive
This is where all the fun begins! We offer five or more regularly scheduled classes every month so you can earn your SSI Open Water Diver certification.
Colorado is always said to have the most certified divers per capita in the country! Book your course and join an awesome group of underwater adventurers.
Certification has three parts: Digital Learning (your pre-class homework), Classroom & Pool Sessions with our instructors (right here in our 15-foot pool), and four Open Water Training Dives (options for multiple locations depending on where you want to go).
Students need to purchase their own Mask, Snorkel, Fins, Boots, Surface Marker Buoy & Reel for training for a safe and comfortable experience in class.Â
