S.C.U.B.A.
The B.R. Ryall YMCA’s Scubaneers Dive Club has been teaching SCUBA and
certifying divers since the Y was opened in the 1960's. Our goal is to
make courses fun and enjoyable, while focusing on safety and necessary
skills. Our course is taught to the strict standards of the national
YMCA SCUBA program. YMCA SCUBA instructors have provided the dedication
and knowledge that has become the SCUBA tradition of today. The YMCA
has trained divers throughout the world and helped to form other dive
training organizations. Throughout our history we have worked tirelessly
to improve diver safety and enjoyment with a parallel sense of responsibility
toward the underwater world which we explore.
