Great American Divers, LLC

Since opening on April 5th, 1993, Great American Divers has been guiding the divers, snorkelers and swim students of St. Louis through underwater adventures. Today it stands as a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center, with 16 PADI instructors offering instruction for everyone from first-timers to those training to become instructors themselves.

Courses and who it suits

The center's range is genuinely broad: PADI Scuba Diving, PADI TecRec and PADI Freediving programs cover recreational, technical and breath-hold paths alike. Whether you're 8 or 80, drawn to recreational diving, snorkeling or technical diving, there's a place for you here. An onsite training pool and classroom, air conditioning and a retail shop round out the experience, alongside air fills, equipment sales, and rental gear for adults, kids and travel.

For local water time, members head out to Beaver Lake - Dive Park, Table Rock Lake, Mermet Springs and Bull Shoals. Instruction and service are offered in English.
