August's monthly meet up was AWESOME! This community continues to grow with new divers, and it's incredible to see the room fill with new and familiar faces each month. Thank you to everyone who came out last night to share dive stories and celebrate Jason on earning his PADI Instructor certification! 🎉
If you missed last night, we would love to see you at our September 2nd meet up. We will be doing a pre-labor day weekend cookout at 601 Bond on the rooftop! Bring your favorite side dish, appetizer, or dessert to share, and let's take in the views of the sunset together.

We have a male diver signed up who is looking for a male roommate. Anyone who is looking to meet a new dive buddy and room with another diver please reach out to [email protected]. We would be happy to make the introduction to make sure it’s a great fit for you both!

Introducing American Dive Zone's newest PADI Instructor, Jason!
Jason has been a fantastic member of our team and community for the past 2 years. As a dive master, he supported countless classes, and took the lead on our MACC student certification partnership helping with the certification of 33 MACC students. You may also recognize him from our monthly meet ups at Beer City Bread Co. or his creative Facebook posts promoting the meet ups 🙂 Another aspect of the community that he has fiercely supported.
We are so proud of you for this incredible achievement, and thankful to have you part of the ADZ Prostaff team. CONGRATULATIONS, JASON! We can't wait to see how you continue to impact so many new divers lives in your new role.
Please join us in the comments to celebrate Jason and this incredible milestone. And join us next Wednesday August 5th for our monthly meet up at Beer City Bread Co. to keep the celebration going 🎉🤿

The store last night was full of some of our "Mateys" joining us on our sold out Blackbeard's Liveaboard trip in August! We love our pre-trip meet ups because it's a great chance to meet fellow travelers, talk through the trip itinerary, share our suggested packing list, and make sure all our travelers feel prepared for the adventure ahead.
If you're looking for group dive travel that is both supportive, and fun be on the lookout over the next few weeks for more 2027 trip announcements! 🤿✈️
