Diventures in Des Moines will be offering Navigation and Night & Limited Visibility courses all summer long!

Want to work toward Master Diver? Here’s your chance to knock out TWO certifications at once — because Navigation and Night Diving can both be completed on the same day. Efficient… like a well-planned dive profile.
Take one or both courses, we will teach you either way.

Upcoming Courses:
🧭 June 17th — Dives on June 20th
🔦 July 15th — Dives on July 18th
🌙 August 12th — Dives on August 15th

Come learn how to:
✅ Find your way underwater without following “that one guy who swears he knows where the exit is”
✅ Dive confidently after sunset
✅ See in the dark*
✅ Not get lost in the dark*

*Results may vary. Actual superpowers not included… but better dive skills absolutely are.

Join us and become the diver your buddy wants on the compass… and after dark. 🤿

What do you call your surface marker buoy?

“SMB” is standard, but we’ve heard some fun nicknames around the dive shop.

👉 Share yours in the comments!

❓What's an SMB? It's an inflatable safety tube used by divers to mark their location as they ascend and return to the surface so boats and other divers can see them.

🚨 Bubble Squad, Assemble! 🚨

Diventures Des Moines is teaming up with our dive buddies from Diventures North Liberty to take an epic crew of divers to Mermet Springs over Memorial Day Weekend (May 22–25)… and yes, it’s going to be as awesome as it sounds.

We’re talking:
✈️ A full-on Boeing 727 sitting underwater like it missed its last flight
🚗 Submerged vehicles that definitely don’t have valid insurance anymore
🌀 Swim-throughs and training platforms to channel your inner underwater ninja
🐟 Fish who will absolutely judge your fin kicks

Depths go all the way down to 120 feet, so whether you’re here to cruise, train, or just look really cool blowing bubbles… you’re covered.

💡 New diver? Perfect.
💡 Experienced diver? Also perfect.
💡 Just here for the snacks and vibes? We’ll allow it.

And because we like options (and showing off a little), we’ll be offering certifications all weekend:

* Open Water (hello, new divers 👋)
* Deep (for those who like their water chilly and their bragging rights strong)
* Navigation (because “I swear it was this way” isn’t a plan)
* Night & Limited Visibility (spooky… but make it scuba)
* Wreck (because… obviously)
* Perfect Buoyancy (aka stop bouncing like a human yo-yo)
* Advanced Open Water (level up, diver 🎮)

Whether you’re logging training dives or just out to have a ridiculously good time, this trip delivers.

So grab your gear, your dive buddy, and your sense of adventure… and come make some bubbles with us. 🤿

Spots will fill faster than your tank at the surface—don’t wait!

We haven’t put a Nitrox class together for our recent students in a bit… and honestly, that’s on us. But here’s the good news: Nitrox is basically the “order off the secret menu” of scuba courses—super flexible and built around your schedule if need be.

Busy? No problem. We can even run the class over Microsoft Teams.

If you would prefer a regularly scheduled Nitrox class how about these dates:

May 12th, 7:00- 9:00pm
or
June 9th, 7:00- 9:00pm
or maybe
July 14th, 7:00-9:00pm

And hey—our new “Referral Divers”… you don’t have to wait! You can knock this out before finishing your Open Water certification and show up looking like the overachiever of the dive boat.

⸝

“Why not just breathe air like a regular human?”

Great question. Also… bold assumption that divers are regular humans.

Here’s why Nitrox is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed:

🟢 Increased Safety
Less nitrogen = less risk of decompression sickness. It’s like giving your body a little extra buffer… because “oops” at 60 feet is not a great story.

🟢 Extended Bottom Time
Let’s be honest—dive trips aren’t cheap.
At 60 feet:

* Air = ~43 minutes
* Nitrox (32%) = ~76 minutes

That’s not a small bump… that’s “your buddy is heading up and you’re still down there living your best life” kind of difference.

🟢 Shorter Surface Intervals
Less nitrogen buildup means you’re back in the water faster. More dives, less waiting around pretending you enjoy snacks that much.

🟢 Reduced Fatigue
Science says “ehhh, maybe.”
Divers say “ABSOLUTELY.”
Call it bro-science, but when Nitrox divers are still going strong at dinner and air divers are face-down in a plate of fries… the evidence speaks.

⸝

Several Diventures trips—like Iberostar in Cozumel—include Nitrox in the package. And trust me, nothing hits quite like watching your friends squeeze in longer dives while you’re already back on the boat rethinking your life choices.

On our last Cozumel trip, 35 divers showed up… 33 were on Nitrox.
The other 2? Yeah… they signed up for the class as soon as they got home. Lesson learned.

⸝

Bottom line:
More time underwater, more safety margin, less waiting around, and more energy to enjoy the trip.
