Our facility
Diventures Sterling is the premiere dive shop in Loudoun County. We have more than just ‘gear’. We pride ourselves on having the best instructors, staff, and leadership. It isn’t about the number of divers we certify, but rather the quality of those divers. We are equipped with whatever you need to support your diving style (recreational divers, specialty enthusiasts, professionals, technical, etc). We are not a one-size-fits-all shop; we tailor all equipment recommendations to fit your needs. Currently, we run all our classes out of our Vienna store.
