Annual Events
We always have upcoming events, which can be found at our calendar here. Even during the winter months, we have non-diving events like painting parties and socials! Below are some of the traditional events that we host every year:
Trips:
Every Winter Break and Spring Break we plan trips around the world, and we also go to places around the US like cavern diving in Missouri or shipwreck diving in the Great Lakes. You can even complete your open water dives on these super fun trips!
Pumpkin carving dive
Each year in late October we bundle up and dive into Lake Mendota to carve jack-o-lanterns!
Holiday tree decorating
Around winter break we often get together to dive in a (heated) pool and decorate a tree underwater! It's a good way to let off some stress around Finals, or just a fun excuse to dive!
Fish feeding
Devil's Lake is famous for its curious and friendly fish, which will often swim right up to scuba divers in hopes of getting a morsel! If you turn over rocks on the bottom they will swoop in and nab the bugs that are exposed. Large fish will sometimes even eat crayfish that you catch!
Bonfires
We love to get together and cook smores, especially at Picnic Point to watch the sun set. We might even get in for a swim if it's warm enough!
Painting Parties
From time to time we'll gather in Union South in coordination with Wheelhouse Studios to put on a painting extravaganza. Come show off your skills, or try your hand at your best underwater scene!
