Alberta Adventure Divers

Alberta Adventure Divers is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center based in Wainwright, welcoming divers of every level. With four PADI instructors on the team, the centre teaches the full spectrum from Open Water right through to CCR, and encourages divers to keep their skills sharp through regular practice on a suspended training platform.

Freshwater playgrounds all your own

Diving here happens at Clear Lake and Twin Lakes, where the crew makes their own underwater fun. Where else can you sit on a life-sized ceramic cow, explore the world's only underwater pumpjack, or check out an underwater hyperbaric chamber? A dive bell, fire hydrant, boat and shark cage round out these one-of-a-kind sites.

Beyond recreational courses, the centre supports technical diving with Trimix, Nitrox and mixed gas fills, plus scuba and scooter (DPV) rental. Facilities include an onsite classroom, air conditioning and a retail shop. English is spoken, and courses and activities such as Underwater Pumpkin Carving start from USD 63.
