Why Downtown Scuba Diving in Houston?

It’s the perfect unique date. 
It’s a great way to fight childhood obesity.
It’s an exciting antidote to a boring fitness routine. 
It’s Houston’s next big chance at bragging rights. 

It’s scuba diving in downtown Houston. 

Stay with us.

Bayou City Adventures is all about bringing affordable outdoor activities to Houston, and we have the track record to prove it. 

We pioneered kayaking at Discovery Green, where you don a life jacket, take a quick lesson, then paddle around the pool by the bases of the skyscrapers. (Don’t even get us started on kayak polo.)

We also host Houston’s safest, most affordable bicycle sight-seeing tour, where you can see the city from the seat of a beach cruiser.

Our kayak bayou tour helped make kayaking mainstream in Houston, and our popular surfing classes have novice surfers up on boards in no time.  

Bayou City Adventures gets the people of Houston off the couch and into the outdoors in fresh ways. We are always inventing new activities for you to do with friends, neighbors, and family, which leads us to...

Our newest adventure: Downtown scuba diving.

Help Us Bring Scuba Diving to Downtown Houston
This is a campaign to launch an Introduction to Scuba Diving class right at Houston’s beautiful Discovery Green park. Almost everyone is curious about scuba diving, but people afraid try it because they of safety concerns, or because they’re nervous about what’s swimming in the ocean around them. 

We know how to make your first scuba diving experience fun and totally painless. In the Intro class, we will teach beginners to dive in a controlled environment, in clear water with fish. 

And yes, we will provide the gear.

Scuba diving has several health benefits, the best being that it’s so much fun you’ll forget it’s actually exercise. 

What We Need & What You Get

Your donations will help cover the cost of scuba gear, permits, operating and insurance fees, initial startup fees, advertising, staff training, and  transportation.

Why is scuba diving valuable to Houston? Houston is one of the best U.S. cities because there are so many unique forms of entertainment here. No other U.S. city offers scuba diving in a major downtown park. We will be the first! 

It’s the perfect physical activity for anyone who is bored with traditional exercise. Office workers, healthcare professionals, schoolchildren, and other people who are stuck indoors every day will get the chance at a scuba adventure every week. 

If you like the experience--and we’re pretty sure you’re going to love it-- we can offer excursions to the ocean as well.  

We want to launch as soon as the cool weather breaks, so... April of 2014.

Can’t Donate Today? Here’s How You Can Help:

Spread the word. We think the people of Houston would LOVE the chance to try downtown scuba diving, so use those share buttons to help us tell them about it! Use Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. We like them all!

Thanks for reading about us. We’ll see you at Discovery Green this spring!
