Splash Down Diving & Travel AdventuresDive center

Durango sits far from any ocean, which makes Splash Down Diving & Travel Adventures an interesting find. This PADI 5 Star IDC Center teaches everything from the kids' Bubblemakers program all the way up to instructor level, along with a broad menu of specialty and technical courses.

The shop rents and services gear, sells major equipment brands, and leads guided dive trips to destinations around the world, so local students have somewhere warm to head next. Classes are taught in English.
