Ascuba Venture
Ascuba Venture has been your one stop dive shop since 1995, providing for all your scuba diving needs. Before that we were still here, only under a separate name and different location. We are proud to be able to offer a full range of swimming, snorkeling and scuba lessons to people of all ages. It's never too late to learn and we love to teach. With classrooms and our own heated open water simulator onsite, there is no need to wait for summer to take lessons.
