Community Involvement

Beyond our own swimming pool

Our commitment to safety and fun in the water extends further. We help build passion and awareness for swim and scuba within the community across education, research and conservation.

Divers supporting divers

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, the lack of tourism led to dive crews facing serious financial hardship. To help our friends financially, Diventures created a “Divers supporting divers” fundraising campaign and raised almost $22,000. Diventures donated $50,000 bringing the combined total gift to $72,000! The funds were distributed direct to 96 dive crew members across seven dive shops in May 2020.

Dive Pirates

Diventures proudly supports adaptive scuba diving. We’ve partnered with Dive Pirates to connect individuals with disabilities to the support, equipment and training necessary for scuba diving. With multiple Adaptive Dive Instructors, we train adaptive divers, their dive buddies, and scuba instructors to be Adaptive Dive Instructors.

Lakes, rivers, wetlands, and aquifers are vital to the health of our society and economy. Diventures is proud to support of The Nature Conservancy through inclusion on the Corporate Conservation Council of Nebraska. This alliance reflects Diventures’ commitment to important ecologic causes by supporting this global organization’s mission to protect lands and waters. The Nature Conversancy is working around the world with a goal that water remains clean, abundant, and managed in ways that meet the needs of people and nature. This is a perfect alignment with Diventures ecological stance.
