About Us...

Who are the Nittany Divers?

We are a club at Penn State University, and our membership consists of students, University employees, and other community members... all are welcome to join! Everyone shares a common interest in scuba diving, snorkeling, or the undersea world in general. We meet twice a month to discuss upcoming trips, new diving practices, refresh safety skills and share personal experiences.

We offer the opportunity to participate in an exciting sport within an environment of safety and fun. Dive trips are planned to local quarries, lakes, and rivers, in addition to more inviting destinations such as Lake Erie and North Carolina. We also engage in many other fun and exciting social events throughout the year.

Benefits of being a Nittany Diver...

Club-sponsored trips at group rates.
Social activities including theme parties and the traditional Lobster Tailgate on Homecoming weekend.
Bi-monthly meetings to keep you abreast of club activities, trips, and business.

Can I Learn to Scuba Dive?

Opportunities for non-divers to learn SCUBA are available through the University's KINES 45 course.

Getting Involved

Nittany Divers is an active and fun scuba club that offers various programs and activities throughout the year so you can get involved. This is a club and that means that you will get out of it what you put into it. The only limits this club has are the ones placed on it by its members.

Ways to get involved

Attend a meeting and/or join the listserv and find out what's going on.
Come to a social event and meet people. Nothing beats eating a lobster on Homecoming weekend at the annual Lobster Tailgate.
Become an officer. The club elects a president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary every spring semester. Why not run and take a commanding lead of YOUR scuba club. It looks great on the resume and officers get free gear rentals while in office.

How Do I Find Out What's Going On?

For general club information e-mail the secretary.
Join our e-mail listserv which is used to announce events and discuss diving. To join, subscribe online.
Attend a club meeting! Check our home page for the date, time, and location of the next meeting.

Joining the Club

Becoming a member of the club is a very simple four step process as outlined below:

Download, fill out, print, and sign the club's membership form (PDF).
Download, fill out, print, and sign the Club Sports Waiver (PDF).
Make a copy of your health insurance card. You MUST have health insurance to be a member of the club. This is a University requirement.
Bring these two forms and the photocopy along with your membership dues payment to a club meeting or gear rental appointment. Dues are $10 per semester (Spring, Summer, Fall) or $25 per year. Cash or check ONLY.
