About Us

The Ocean is Our Way of Life

At the Tampa Bay Scuba Club, we believe we are stewards of the great outdoors. The ocean is not only our playground, but the lifesource of our planet. It controls global and local weather and climates, nutrient cycling within our atmosphere and lithosphere, and provides food, recreation, advances in medicine, and biodiversity to our planet. In order to maintain healthy marine ecosystems that are full of life for many generations to come, we are responsible for leaving our dive sites better than we found them.

At the Tampa Bay Scuba Club, we take only photos and leave only bubbles.

Club Memories

We've enjoyed many amazing moments together and we're just getting started! Here are some snapshots from past events.

Brooke Barber

Founder of Tampa Bay Scuba Club

I've always been an avid outdoors-woman, and I've always had a love of the ocean. I obtained my Masters in Biological Oceanography from FSU in 2019 and I become a certified diver around the same time.

While I have a deep love of natural science and fussing over tedious lab procedures, I found that my other passions include building community, and being an advocate for people in the outdoor space.

What I love so immensely about nature, and the ocean, is that it would carry on just fine without us; but we are infinitely more in touch with each other and ourselves when we journey into it.

Happy diving, friends!
