Capital City Scuba

Manitoba & Prairie Lakes, Canada

The team at Capital City Scuba are our go-to in Manitoba for getting new divers underwater and keeping experienced ones sharp. We love their practical approach; it’s all about getting comfortable and capable in the water, which is essential when diving the often-chilly, silty lakes of the prairies. They specialise in SSI, which we find is a really solid system for building confidence, especially for those just starting out. Our favourite thing about Capital City is their local knowledge. They don't just teach you to dive; they teach you to dive *here*. We’d suggest anyone looking to explore the province’s surprisingly diverse lake sites, from the wrecks of Lake Winnipeg to the limestone caves of the Whiteshell, starts their journey with these folks. They’ll get you prepped for cooler water, lower visibility, and the unique challenges and rewards of freshwater diving. Their courses range from Open Water right through to leadership, so whether you’re just curious or ready to lead trips, they’ve got a path for you.
