Services
We're happy to hear you're interested in becoming one of the thousands of people who learn to scuba dive each year. You can complete the classroom part of your training with our digital online program and go over highlights at our Reading, Pa. Dive Center classrooms. You practice scuba skills in a heated pool, and attend two days of open water training diving.
Snorkeling is actually one of the first skills that new scuba divers learn, skills like clearing your mask or the proper use of diving fins. What if my ears hurt when I go to the bottom of a swimming pool, or when I am snorkeling?. Assuming you do not have any irregularities in your ears or sinuses, this discomfort is the normal effect of water pressure pressing in on your ears.
2. After you have completed the online classroom part of your scuba training, please contact us to schedule your pool training sessions. During the pool sessions you will train with a certified ScubaVenture instructor and you will learn the skills necessary to become a scuba diver.

You complete your training and become a certified scuba diver for life by demonstrating the skills that you have learned during Open Water Training Dives at a local dive site, or even during one of our exciting diving vacations.
In the past, becoming a Nitrox Diver required long hours in the classroom, learning how to work obscure formulas and use complex dive tables. No more. Through SDI's (Scuba Diving International) on-line training program, you can complete most of the required academic study in the comfort and convenience of your home or office.
We welcome all divers, from novice to experienced, to develop an appreciation of diving and an awareness of the aquatic environment, while encouraging our members to expand their diving horizons, through learning, fun, and friendship. To learn more about club membership and benefits, please call us at 610-678-2688 or email us.

Went in to get snorkeling gear for an upcoming trip and was very pleased with the amount of time they took to help me fit and select each piece of gear. I feel the prices were very reasonable and the staff was great.

I've known Mark the owner for years and received two dive certifications through Scuba Venture back in the 90's. Mark and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and they only sell great quality brand scuba gear and other merchandise. There is also a marine fish and invertebrate shop in the back of the dive shop. Always a pleasure stopping by Scuba Venture.

Mark Sr and Jr both work hard to keep their clients well informed, safe, and happy. I love coming to this shop, even though there are shops closer to me. 30 years in business, and hopefully 30 more!

I have been using Scuba Ventures for awhile now and they are a really customer focused organization. We dropped off out regulators to have them rebuilt and gave them a couple of weeks to service them. We suddenly changed plans and we needed our regulators in two days. The owner came in on his day off when the shop was closed to ensure our regulators we ready for our trip. You can't ask for anymore customer focus than that.
Great job, Mark

I’ve been a customer of SV for over 2 decades. Their shop is top notch. Not only do they support all levels of diver, they have inventory so you can try things on and they can counsel you on fit and even make sure you’re buying the best tool for the job. I’ve sent many people there over the years and have only heard praise. Kudos Scuba Venture staff!

My son (12) and myself both felt very safe and prepared for our open water certification skills test. We did our open water testing in Florida, however Scuba Venture in Reading PA is going to be our primary Dive shop. If you need an instructor, I recommend Brett G.
