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. We support the expansion of scuba by conducting courses such as basic scuba diving, advanced scuba diving, scuba rescue skills, and various other specialty courses. Dive trips are planned to local quarries, lakes, and rivers, in addition to more inviting destinations such as Lake Erie, North Carolina, and Key West. We also engage in many other fun and exciting social events throughout the year.

Extensive selection of rental equipment at affordable prices.
Club-sponsored trips at group rates.
Social activities including theme parties and the traditional Lobster Tailgate on Homecoming weekend.
