At Spartan SCUBA & Dive Team, we are incredibly proud that so many of our team members choose to take this profound foundation and progress even further, stepping up to become Instructors and even Instructor Trainers. But if you strip away the extra badges and the teaching credentials, the truth remains: at the end of the day, we are all Divemasters. It is the shared DNA of every leader in the water, the baseline of respect, and the actual working backbone of any dive operation worldwide.

Looking for a solid day of saltwater bottom time without the heavy lifting? We’re heading up to the Hood Canal on Thursday, July 23rd, for a multi-dive "fun day" at the Sunrise Dive Park. This trip is all about getting in the water, racking up some pristine PNW dives, and logging quality time with the crew.
Let’s wrap up July with a classic Pacific Northwest Sunday on the water. On Sunday, July 26th, the Spartan Dive Team is hosting a casual, "meet us there" dive day at the Sunrise Dive Park on the Hood Canal.
Join the Maritime Archaeological Society (MAS) and Spartan SCUBA at Sunrise Resort on Saturday, August 1st (0800–1400) as we take baseline offset and trilateration skills out of the practice zone and apply them to actual underwater boats and artifacts. We’re adding an underwater photography challenge to capture clear, identifiable documentation under real-world conditions. Non-divers and surface crew are welcome for shore support, data logging, and coordinating artifact sketches!

Shake off the pre-work week blues the absolute best way we know how—by getting wet! Join us for a beautiful weekday escape to Hood Canal. With the summer sun warming up the surface, it’s the perfect time to slide down the south steps, cruise the gradual slope, and see if we can spot some resident wolf eels, giant Pacific octopuses, or schooling perch.
Why wait for Saturday to start your weekend? We’re heading up to Sunrise for a Friday dive day to beat the weekend rush. Come out for a couple of relaxed shore dives, enjoy the fantastic visibility of the Canal, and swap stories on the shore afterward.
Second day of open water training - private group.
Keep the summer diving momentum going! We’re heading back to our favorite Hood Canal playground for another incredible Monday in the water. Grab your buddy, pack your gear, and let's go hunting for nudibranchs, wolf eels, and giant Pacific octopuses.
