Welcome To Midwest Dive Club


Midwest Dive Club is a new site and organization created to getting more midwesterners involved in the sport of SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving as well as getting people that are already diving together to organize and plan dive trips and activities throughout the year. Although we are based out of the Kansas City area, which will be where we will hold our meetings, we will be catering to all midwesterners, and may open chapters in other cities down the road. If this is your first time to the site, please register with us, it is totally free. In the future registered members will receive a monthly or bi-monthly newletter with the various activities the group will be sponsoring as well as everything else from new and used gear for sale to tips and tales from our diving members. Our members will also receive special discounts o­n gear via a "direct from the manufacturer" approach as well as discounted dive trips that the club will be organizing. We are currently working on a building another page off or our site to showcase all of the great prices for various destinations, everywhere from Cozumel to Belize to Florida. Meanwhile, if you are interested in helping with the club, have any ideas, or just want to say hi, feel free to contact us or you can post to our forum with any questions, comments or information you would like to offer. There will be plenty more to come, so stay tuned, sign up and get involved if you are interested.
