The Dive Outfitters (Edmonton)
Believe it or not, Alberta has a very large dive community. Head to one of the lakes in
Jasper or Banff on a summer weekend and you will probably see dozens of divers
gathering along the shore and in the water diving. What is there to see? Well that
depends on who you ask and where you go. Obviously the marine life isn't quite the
same as the tropics or even on the coast. However, Jasper is a great place to get scuba
certified, practice your scuba diving skills, take an advanced or specialty scuba course,
and get comfortable and confident with your dive skills. Then when you venture to the
tropics or Vancouver Island, not only will you experience some awesome scuba diving,
but you’ll be more comfortable and confident making for a very positive and memorable
experience. As the saying goes, “if you can dive in Alberta, you can dive anywhere!”
Dive in with our local fun divers at Camp 'n Dive Weekends in Jasper, AB with
The Dive Outfitters.
2024 dates: May Long Weekend, plus many more monthly summer weekends: June 22/23, July 20/21,
