We are leading a new era of ocean exploration and protection of the sea. Around 72% of the earth’s surface is covered in water and that water brings life into this planet by providing more than half of the oxygen in our atmosphere, habitat for more than 2 million species and, most of all, a beautiful escape for scuba divers like us. Few people have the privilege to enjoy the underwater world as we do.

72 Aquatics empowers future generations of divers, swimmers, and travelers to explore, protect and share the world’s oceans. We continue to empower our clients to explore the oceans through snorkeling, swim, and scuba diving. We engage in initiatives to protect our oceans and most of all, we share our passion for the sea through our interactions with you.

We are an aquatic family and the biggest thing that sets us apart is exactly that. We are a family. We welcome new swimmers, divers, and travelers into our family when they do business with us and that will never change. Anyone who is familiar with scuba diving in the Sonoran Desert will have a story about that time they went to San Carlos, Mexico and swam with the sea lions. It is experiences like these that keep both new and active divers coming back for more.

72 Aquatics is the premier scuba diving facility in Tucson, AZ. In 2015, 72 Aquatics was named a Diamond Instructor Training Facility by Scuba Schools International, a distinction earned by only the best scuba facilities in the world. There is no way any of this would be possible without an experienced team of dive professionals and dedicated scuba divers. We thank all of the divers that have come through 72 Aquatics over the years and look forward to diving with you in the near future.
