SCUBA Pups
The SCUBA Pups are an RSO on the Seattle campus which aims to educate budding divers on how they can start their journey, push events to get more people in the water, and act as a place where divers can find buddies! Recently founded in Autumn 2023, now is a great time to get involved to help this new community blossom. In the future, the club hopes to offer discounted certification rates, rental rates, and free transportation to club related events.
You can get involved primarily through the discord (https://discord.gg/G8jznTH79w), but be sure to follow the instagram (@uw_scubapups) too!
