What are you waiting for?
Come join us in the Scuba Monkey Dive Club
If you are a water enthusiast and live in the Gainesville FL or surrounding areas, we have the meeting place that will support you and your diving goals regardless of experience. With over 300 members from the area you are sure to meet new people that share your passion for Scuba or Freediving.
We offer monthly meetings, events and mixers. Meetings are the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm at the Dive Shop with occasional (and announced) changes. Someone in the club is diving every weekday and weekend so come connect with this supportive and friendly group of divers.
Membership is based on activity and gives you access to club-exclusive discounts on our wide assortment of rental equipment, discounts on new diving equipment, local, national and international dive trips, and course offerings from open water diver to divemaster, and beyond!
In addition to our domestic offerings, the club also travels to international dive destinations! We adventure to Cozumel, Mexico each spring for a week of luxury accommodations, sunshine, and sensational diving, and then pack our bags for warmer climates each fall with a spectacular fall trip.
If you are not currently a certified diver or you are looking for advanced certification please see our learn to dive page for more information.
