American Diving

Established in 1985, American Diving is the #1 choice for activities on South Padre Island.  We offer snorkel trips, dolphin watch excursions, diving adventures, scuba charters, snorkeling lessons, diving certification, and scuba equipment sales.

We are a world renowned dive center born from that high-adventure spirit which leads you from the office door to the hot sandy beaches of the Mexican border. You can share this excitement with other divers and snorkelers in the deep blue, unspoiled waters of the "Texas Riviera", territory of the Spanish Galleons and home to pirates of the Devil's Elbow. Come see our state-of-the-art training facilities. Dive and snorkel from our USCG documented and inspected vessels.

Diving offers beauty, challenge and excitement.
Come dive with us!
